New story for @inputmag: I dove deep in the world of luxury Pokemon card collectors, meeting a man with a $10 million collection who refuses to cash in. After reading this, you won't want him to sell his cards either. inputmag.com/features/king-p…

Gary Haase has amassed the world’s most expensive Pokémon card collection, valued at over $10 million. So why isn’t he cashing in?

For my first print feature (!), I spent several months exploring the Florida springs: their beauty, their mythology, their encroaching death. My profile of the environmental group fighting for the springs life is up at @earthisland. earthisland.org/journal/inde…
The River of Discords
