At any given time, there are 15 to 20 IDEO teams in the field doing research for projects. We are a naturally curious bunch, and tend to collect quite a few artifacts from our trips. In addition to interesting foods, new turns of phrase, and the occasional non-contagious skin disease, we take photos of interesting things in the places we are.
When we see something remarkable, we capture it to show our fellow IDEOers at home in the studio. Now we are sharing some of our blink-worthy images with you. Enjoy!

To facilitate conversation and bridge the language barrier, the IDEO team used photo cards, which helped engage participants in articulating their hopes, fears, and desires.

Every morning in this Ethiopian village, we noticed a parade of people going to a nearby polluted river and bringing back water. On the second day, we were told by the daughter of our host, “There is a spring that comes out near the river. People are carrying water from the spring, not from that polluted river! No one would ever drink that!”
