By Maggie Kinser Saiki 28 Geof Kern and the Spaces In Between Adamantly refusing to be pigeonholed, Geof Kern manages to escape every definition except one: great photographer. By Dick J. Reavis 40 Del Terrelonge: Creating an Alternate Universe Busting through all the barriers set before him, Terrelonge's design work has bounded into print, onto the web and into every facet of his new holistically-designed hotel in Toronto. By Kalyani Vittala 54 Gavino Sanna: The Shootist In Italian advertising, he may not end up being the last man standing, but Sanna is still working to ensure that his exit--like the rest of his career--is a subtle blaze of glory. By Nicole Bullock 72 Cahan & Associates: The Defibrillators To Say Bill Chan's San Francisco design company does things a little differently is an understatement.
