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!

There are few places to sit and relax in the Frankfurt airport. To pass time, a father played with his son in a staff cart while taking pictures using his mobile phone.

Wintertime snowstorms in Alaska can shut down air traffic for days. We were lucky to get on this flight—saving us from a long and uneventful six-hour drive.
