My brother Gareth and I on the street Life podcast. Talking about photography, Lyme disease, Trump, AI and other things. This was a lot of fun to do!

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

An anti-DOGE protest in DC yesterday.
It's becoming increasingly harder to feel that we're not sliding into authoritarianism. Who knew that a democracy could be such a pushover? That the guards rails that were supposed to stop things like this were made of naught but sodden paper?

" That's the dark magic of MAGA for a photographer- it's such a spectacle and circus and the very things that make it so repellant, toxic and even evil are what make it so compelling. It’s a grim muse."

"They have already tried compromise; they have already tried capitulation. It is time to try defiance"

Seriously. Does a democracy just fall that quickly and easily? Only if it is ALLOWED to.

Inauguration Weekend Pt. 1- Peoples Rally, DC

One last rage against the coming of the dark ages. It was a decent enough sized crowd, but (I felt) far too small for the gravity of the moment. Too many have of us have capitulated or assimilated.

Gareth and I have our first book coming out. It's a huge moment for us. It's the cumulation of over a decade of obsession, travelling, walking, shooting and hard work.

Pre-orders start now until March 31. Shipping in May/June. Excited!

I finally (after a lot of writers block and distractions) got another blog post done, and moved to substack, because I dunno, seems like where most of the other photographers go.
