The next few months promise to be tumultuous here in the U.S. Let's all vow to take great care of ourselves & our loved ones. Cuddle pets, bake a cake, gaze at clouds, make art, go for walks, breathe & chase sunsets, like this one I photographed in the Mojave years ago.

Dawn in the mountain town of Big Bear Lake, California - my one-time home - winter 2011.
This photo won an Honorable Mention award in the Washington Post Travel Photo Contest, back before WaPo was hijacked by an aspiring oligarch.

The morning of December 11th, 2022 was like no other! A passing storm in the SoCal desert left a riot of rainbows. Everywhere you looked for a couple of hours or so, another rainbow would pop up. I’ve never seen anything like it.

Sundown on LA on a good day. From 2017.
Shot through the windshield of my (former) car.

It’s ok to feel sick over the state of things.

"California Wildfire," stained-glass & agate mosaic window art from 2017.
Flames meet the sea over parched earth in this abstract piece I made as a reaction to the terrible fires of that year. I couldn't help but be reminded of it as I watch LA under siege tonight.

Sunset silhouettes at Joshua Tree National Park. Shot on this day in 2021. A favorite photo & one of those rare occasions where I busted out the tripod.

One of my favorites, I shot this from the cliffs of the Palos Verdes peninsula on the evening of Dec. 10th, 2020.

I was heading out of Joshua Tree National Park when I pulled over at a rest stop. I glanced back towards the south & gasped. Lightning was dancing around the sky. I grabbed my tripod & wrestled against the wind to keep it steady. An evening I'll never forget!

I shot this pic in the fall of 2004 in Virginia. It made me think, "huh. I might have a talent for photography!" 1000s of photos later, I became a contributor to Getty, Adobe, Alamy & Dreamstime. Many pix have been published in mags/journals/books, etc.

Sad bus stop in Torrance. No shade and if you slip on that slick ground or on one of those uneven cobblestones then you fall onto Hawthorne Blvd, where cars race by at speeds of up to 50mph, mere feet from the bench. Just crazy.

While I love Joshua trees against a red sky, I also adore a golden sunset. Bats fluttering around your head make it all feel especially magical.

Have you seen the Cadbury India, “Make AI Mediocre Again” ad? Employees get asked to do things on impossibly short timelines, use AI to do it, and it just spirals downward from there. m.youtube.com/watch?v=73rk...

[also wtf, the most trenchant commentary on AI in the office is a chocolate bar ad]

One of my favorite things, Joshua trees silhouetted against a red sky. Always beautiful to behold!

This Dylanologist gives "A Complete Unknown" 4.5⭐s. It doesn't stick strictly to facts but pacing is excellent & it never goes more than 2 minutes w/out music. Chalamet did a great job evoking Dylan's laconic spirit, right down to the freakishly long fingernails. The audience burst into applause!
