11 months ago, my wife Sarah passed away. Today we had her unveiling where the headstone was shown to close family members and friends. It’s been a difficult year, but the kids and I are finally figuring out how different life looks like without Sarah.

This picture was taken at Lahaina Grill, a place my late wife, kids and I visited often. I took this photo in June 2022. We were supposed to be there at the same restaurant in August 2023 on the same day the fire happened. Luckily our trip got delayed last minute.

One of our high school friends passed away 10 years ago. Her mom lost her house in the Palisades Fire & also had a heart attack. Thanks to a @skynewss.bsky.social reporter, Liz was able to get out. Now we are trying to raise funds to help Liz with her recovery.

@skynewss.bsky.social can you help me find the segment you did on your reporter evacuating my friend’s mom from the LA fires? Her name is Liz Lerner and your reporters got her out when her neighbors left her for dead. Her daughter was a friend in high school who passed away many years ago.

This is what it looked like when we evacuated from Oak Park last night. Thankfully the firefighters stopped the forward progress of the fire last night.

The @watchduty-bot.m.ai6yr.org.ap.brid.gy app tonight is pinging me every 3-5 minutes with fire updates. It a great app, but my anxiety is growing as the winds pickup and the fires spread.

Trying to keep myself distracted while the winds in LA are howling and there are fires burning. 50-80 mph winds with 100 mph gusts are expected.

One of the first pictures I took at the LA Zoo @losangeleszoo.bsky.social when I started getting into photography circa 2009.

When the photographer becomes the subject of the photo. This is what happens when I let my kids photograph me. I’m much more comfortable behind the camera.

Just finished a 4 state National Park tour with my kids where we focused on shooting nature photos. I picked up the hobby from my late mother, and my kids have picked it up from me.
