A very talented photographer I found while looking at an article in monocle. He's photographed in many African countries and isn't afraid to get up close with the situation (happy or hostile). Something of interest I found were his pictures from Kenya, that feature Sarah Obama.

What is going on inside our heads when we engage in rapid cognition? When are snap judgments good and when are they not? What kinds of things can we do to make our powers of rapid cognition better? - M.G.
