Michael F. Nuñez

I'm a journalist working in New York, writing for the International Business Times about Silicon Alley.

Before moving to New York, I was an editor at city magazines in Seoul and Hong Kong, where I wrote profiles of artists, entrepreneurs and everyday expats.

No matter where I am, I enjoy talking to people about their deepest passions.


This was the scene on my way to work on Nov. 17, 2011, the two month anniversary of the Occupy Wall Street movement

Here’s another photo taken by Scott Hemsey for a feature story we worked on that was published in WorkNPlay Magazine. The story was about eating a live baby octopus, which was somewhat inspired by the South Korean film Old Boy.

"His philosophy of aesthetics reminds me of a quote that went something like this: “Fashion is what seems beautiful now but looks ugly later; art can be ugly at first but it becomes beautiful later."

— Mona Simpson about her brother, Steve Jobs, in his eulogy published on NYTimes.com
