Second Story. is a interactive story-telling factory located in Portland, Oregon and originally launched by interactive pioneer Brad Johnson. Since it's inception in 1994, Brad and team have been leading the charge by bridging the world between technology and design. Second Story's ability to take large pieces of information and distill it down to a beautifully architected design experience is nothing short of amazing and they have truck loads of awards to prove it. The image above is from a site created for The City of Santa Monica called Beach Stories. In the site, visitors can cull through page after page of visually rich stories related to a stretch of beach in Santa Monica steep in history and colorful characters.
