Secret: Team Building Exercises Are Sometimes Awesome

Last week, our company had a team-building afternoon consisting in a mission-based scavenger hunt that took us all over San Francisco’s North Beach neighborhood. It was a long, hot day full of not entirely welcome silliness, but, truth be told: there were some pretty enjoyable moments. My favorite is shown in the images below. Our team (Team Razoo Dazzle!) was asked to depict ourselves in our best possible and worst possible moments as captured by the paparazzi.

At our best.

That’s right. Loving life.

At our worst.

I honestly think we should have won the game on the strength of these pictures alone.

I feel tremendously fortunate to have been behind the camera for these pictures, and think the world of my teammates for their commitment to the project: Hillel face planted in some playground sand. Kids pee in that stuff. You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.
