Acknowledgments
the broad and diverse Community of Interest that formed
around the project as it unfolded—smart, forward-thinking people
from many different fields, all of whom share in the vision that the
mainstream use of images is transforming interpersonal communi-
cation. Their myriad contributions in the form of information,
insights, counsel, and support were invaluable.
We’re grateful to the many businesspeople who took time off
from their demanding schedules to open their companies to us, and
tell us about their experiences Going Visual —their successes, the pit-
falls they encountered, and their infectious enthusiasm. Our partic-
ular thanks to those whose companies are described in this book:
Sally Carrocino, Bob Dickey, Dennis Dillon, Jim O’Leary, Russ
Mason, and Linda Rudell-Betts.
Our thanks also to the visionary executives at the many technology
companies who embraced this project and supported it with their
time, influence, and resources. At Adobe Systems Bryan Lamkin,
Michael Hopwood, Kyle Mashima, Steve Saylor, and Cari Gushiken;
at Eastman Kodak Dan Carp, Carl Gustin, Jim Stoffel, Anthony
