Daniel Agee: ‘Remembering Om’
Daniel Agee remembers Om, an early member of the Glass team. Om's photography, often of arctic landscapes, contrasted with his bright personality. He had a talent for drawing people in and making them feel part of his world. Agee's blog post features Om's photography. Om was a veteran of internet publishing and transitioned into venture capital. When Glass considered seeking VC funding, Om was their first call. He offered to invest but strongly advised against it, believing their project was special. Om's directness was evident in his photography, which focused on minimal detail to highlight essential elements. He believed in stripping subjects down to their core. This simplicity in his art mirrored his communication style: direct and to the point. Om valued unmoderated honesty as a form of courtesy.
