    What the dickens, Toyota?! This ill-fated campaign is right up there with Dove making their product bottles into various shapes to “celebrate” the human form. We’d all be better off if we focused on our human commonalities — such as taking care of our loved ones — rather than on our differences. On a less face-palmy note, thank you for the great photography reads, each of which is inspiring in its own way.
