REMINDER: I’ll be in Huntsville for a special live talk on Thursday, November 6, at the Huntsville Museum of Art!
Come hear the stories behind the images, the artists, and the wild, defiant energy that defined an entire generation of punk. It’s a one-night-only event, and I’d love to see you there.

SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA: @ilfordandfuji face — I never get tired of it. I used to be allergic to cats, but Russian Blues are hypoallergenic… and now I’m completely in love with this boy. 💙

These guys were friends (’Til Tuesday) back in the day. We used to hang out. I have seen Aimee out in LA since, but I have not seen the boys in 40 years. It was a great reunion. They still have it, and Aimee’s voice is as amazing as always!!

DTLA, FEBRUARY 15, 2025 Oops, I did it again. This time, with the very talented tattoo artist Aimi Tran working out of the Bike Shed Moto Club. It was a piece of artwork I saw in a restaurant in London, got the permission of the artist, Jenny Liz Rome, and now it adorns my left arm as a half sleeve!

WEST HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA, MAY 16, 2025: The pre-Cruel World Fest, a private event at Leica Gallery LA with DEVO. It was nice to give them prints from their very first show of their very first tour in 1978. Just a little gap in time, but I was bearing gifts!

BANGKOK, THAILAND, FEBRUARY 8, 2025: Searching for the right color for my Elephant Pajamas. Elizabeth Waterman loves these as gifts, and I must admit, they're incredibly comfy for sleeping. Yet, interestingly enough, some people in Bangkok wear them on the street — go figure!

My social media team advises against getting political, but at this point, I think I'm beyond that. This was just too good not to share. Big thanks to Andy Borowitz! If you're not already subscribed, do it. You're guaranteed a poignant laugh every day.

BANGKOK, THAILAND, FEBRUARY 27, 2025: As much as the city has grown, Bangkok remains deeply spiritual. Everywhere you look, there are wats (Buddhist Temples) and altars in front of every home and building. These altars not only feature Buddhist elements but also incorporate Hindu deities.

BANGKOK, THAILAND, MARCH 2, 2025: It's been ages since I last visited Bangkok for an annual report shoot in the late '90s. Who even remembers annual reports, lol? There has been a ton of building since then, and the city has grown tremendously.

BANGKOK, THAILAND, MARCH 1, 2025: After dinner, me and Elizabeth Waterman took the "required" tour of one of the red light districts ,followed by a thrilling Tuk Tuk ride home. Those things really can move — definitely a wild ride, and yes, they feel like a death trap!

LOS ANGELES, Feb 9, 2025 – A special moment: Years ago, I photographed Lexi Letts & baby Olivia, mirroring a shoot from 40 years prior.
A friend recently wrote about his late wife: "Our miracle wasn’t her return to health, but the night we met 20 years before."
These stories resonate even more.

My wife has been on a six-week trip to Thailand to photograph her third book. Her birthday is Saturday. So I flew to Bangkok secretly. Here we are at our friend Shepherd's opening. I knew she would be there so I arrived in advance. She said it was the best surprise! We missed each other madly.
