Dear Clutch,
In the beginning I wanted to be a National Geographic photographer. But then I ended up shooting for myself instead.
If I had to choose between ice cream and cookies, I’d choose an ice cream sandwich every single time.
My favourite thing about my job is all the freedom I enjoy each day. But sometimes it can get a little stressful. When I need to cool down I go on a bike ride.
Print is the Titanic 2 minutes after hitting that iceberg. Social media is the population growth rate of China.
At night I dream about flying. Right now I’m loving my new Soundcloud playlist.
My favourite in-flight position is at the back with all the cute flight attendants grabbing them mini-bottles.
PR professionals make me answer a lot of emails. I wish they would collaborate more beyond their clients specific marketing goals.
Before I go, I want you to know I typed this with my toes.
blue skies,
Andrew John Virtue Dobson
