Common Discourse is a project designed to help others (and ourselves) think through creativity, focus, and intentional work—from Alex Tan & Alice Otieno.

Every Tuesday we share words from a journal, a few ideas, a quote from somebody else, and links worth sharing. On Fridays we invite a guest to share images from their camera roll and a sound that resonates with them.

Molly Cranna is a Photographer and Director living in Los Angeles. I met Molly several years ago through work, then we didn’t talk again until very recently. We’ve started playing tennis together and she’s introduced me to new friends and a fun east side tennis community.

It’s refreshing to hang out with somebody in the industry and talk about something other than work. That feels like a notable thing in our friendship.
