Stories in Square
I am a storyteller by profession. Most of my inspiration comes from everyday life. I believe our lives are made of a never-ending string of stories that connect us all to one another - if we are just willing to listen. By sharing pictures on Instagram, I feel like I...
Tangueros. A Lovers discourse by L. Bird
Paris, late at night last September, tangueros are dancing on the plaza of Opera Garnier. It takes a second to stop. Then, time flies. Tango, the dance of love captured me, again... While I was taking photographs, an idea emerged. If reasons of Love resist to any...
Waffle it Up with Finnicle
I like Kandinsky’s idea that we all have an inner need for expression. Looking at pictures on instagram, it’s cool to look at individual people’s offerings and try to work out what they are trying to say to the world. There is no good or bad art, just images that...

The Storytellers Circle vol. 3
Words are so unnecessary when it’s enough to see, hear, smell and touch. I hadn’t seen her in almost 3 months. Her absence was felt deeply in the house. Sometimes we missed her easy chuckle and quick wit while other times there was relief in not feeling subject to her judgment and chaos. She had become impossible to read, sometimes lost and other times angry.
Captain and the Kid
But never mind that; I kind of like the little shits. At present, we are in the control room and will beam down momentarily. Having finally won him over, he smiles sweetly, hugs Tiger, and we stand quietly for a few minutes. Kid is still all eyes, still doesn’t quite comprehend where we really are, then Kowalski nods from the control panel and the tingle begins…… back to Earth
The Sendoff
It's no secret that I'm a huge Seattle Seahawks fan. Have been for many, many years. Just so happens that last year and this year we've been able to get to the Super Bowl. Last year was a lot more successful as far as taking the championship home. This year,...
Voice, Mail
If I have my way, I’ll be on this route until I retire– hopefully with the ability to still climb a set of stairs. Without a doubt, there will be a completely different set of people that I interact with when that time comes. I’m sure I’ll be a different person as well.

The Gray Zone
I know these women in a way that I would not know anyone else. We share the experience of disaster. We share the experience of guilt and shame and inadequacy. We share the feeling of mistakes made with the best intentions. We also share the distance we have traveled. We are all mighty in our ways, if only that we’ve made it this far and we’re still standing. We are all of us optimists.

Storytellers Circle
For the last few weeks we have been asking our audience to finish a story. We have supplied them with a photo and story prompt and they have spun incredible stories. The idea originated with my friend Tommy and has grown each week. Here at Grryo we are always looking...
Honest Moments by Caleb Stumpfl
A word from Caleb: I'm pretty lucky to have creative friends, Nina being one of them. Last month we started talking about making a film together and the rest is history. The final product was following her around Minneapolis for a day, documenting it all. Having a...
