Working with Raneim Galdala was amazing in every way. Can’t wait to create with her in the future.

It's difficult not to despair and feel lost, but John Lewis's advice is useful, important, and motivating. Here's to noise and "good trouble, necessary trouble." Thanks, @dangoldes.bsky.social
"Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble." John Lewis

These amazing people always make me smile. I’m glad I got to see them in person before everything officially went to hell!

Hadn’t touched my camera in over a week so today I went out to scratch that itch.

When a client sends you a text saying the headshot you took helped them book the biggest role of their career so far.

Nothing but love!!!

Happy Birthday to me and Rick James.

Thinking about turning the last 3 birthday’s we spent together into a one man show deeper than any Chappelle sketch!!!

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

I chose to take a day off and stay away from most media and found me some dolphins at Venice Beach.

A seagull shat on me too but then you win some, you lose some.

One thing im hoping for is a return to independent art.

Music, imagery, books, clothing, food, all forms of media

We're clearly being pushed into a world that seeks to strip fun, color (literally & metaphorically), and joy from us bc corporations want to cave into the whims of white evangelicals

It’s a new day. As my grandma would say be thankful for every morning you awake to take your first breath.
Despair is valid but don’t let it stop you from connecting with your people and finding new ways to be better allies to the communities who need us to band together right now.

This touched me. The other skaters gave this one sight impaired skater his full freedom and then after his run they’d go for it until he wanted to go again. Pure beauty!!

And here’s the thing: he built a Red Room for us to meet. I’ve met so many friends through sharing an appreciation for his work. If you build what you love, regardless of how weird, your people will find it, and each other.

Just so you’re aware, every library in LA is offering free masks right now due to the fires. Another reason to love libraries! Let’s hope they continue after the fires are over. Masks save lives in many ways.

If you think only billionaires can control social media, You are absolutely wrong. Social media is completely dependent on its users. Think about why you do or did use FB, ThreadsTik tok or Twitter. It's because they have enough users. Take away all the "normies" and they all are worthless

I resolve to write more, drink more, relax more, create more, connect with friends more, eat more strange food, and be more embarrassing about thirst traps.

I was 13 when Amy graduated from my high school. After school I’d hang out in her dorm. Whenever her father called he’d speak to me and actually care how I was doing. So kind. So generous.

You only hear about stockings hung by the chimney with care. Shout out to the stockings thrown up there all willy nilly and whatnot.
