2/9/11 foursquare HQ

Almost a year ago we were working crazy hours; late nights and weekends, all in preparation for SXSW 2010. The iphone app was getting its first visual overhaul, which was a pretty big deal. We had less than half a million users. There were fewer of us then, in fact I wasn’t even a full time employee yet (I was an art director at Hard Candy Shell). That didn’t happen until March 1st and I didn’t move desks until much later. One Saturday I brought my SLR into the office. It was almost 10pm and I snapped a picture of the guys working and posted it on Flickr. 

What followed was a stream of documentation. From late nights, working on the weekends, hand cutting tattoos, being too big for the 5th floor, Tie Tuesdays and our eventual move to the 6th floor. But then something happened. I stopped. As our employees grew  and the material on our walls became more sensitive I stopped snapping photos. 

This week I decided to start again.
