California love. These golden Southern California hills --- but, really, why stop there? The entire Earth is beautiful beyond my comprehension.

This is a picture that I find beautiful. Quiet. Almost silent. Easily passed by, but I come back to it all the time. The light in it, just has me.

People protesting the ICE raids that have been going on in Los Angeles. Despite what one might be hearing, the vast majority of protestors are peaceful. The photograph depicts a child and a man with tattoos raising the the flag of Mexico against the backdrop of downtown LA during the protests here over the ICE Raids that have been taking place here.

The president ordering Marines to force you to comply to his personal wishes is a MUCH bigger threat to your life and safety than immigration.

I will tell you what Los Angeles means to everyone who doesn't live in the USA.

It means there is still hope for America.

Here's my transition at the 5 year mark. Next year will be 10 years of documenting my face at which time I will do another video like the one here. 10 years compressed into a minute.

Have fun!

This Spot Reserved for Mr. Bill Thacker

Sometimes I make pictures of people in places of significance. Bedrooms are always intimate. Here, is Carolyn in her room maintaining a spot for her beloved Bill who recently passed away.

I was revisiting a piece I wrote and photographed of the road trip my father and I took together after I transitioned. A trip that healed our relationship. Today, we are rock solid.

Something I love is how my feelings evolve about a picture. What it once was is no longer. What it is now will never be again.
