Photojournalist David Burnett is as thoughtful a writer as he is a wonder photographer. His OpEd in the @washingtonpost.com, about the Nick Ut/napalm girl documentary The Stringer, is a must read.

I had the pleasure of working with Dave a couple of times. He's a good man. #PhotoSky #Photojournalism

He's not a photographer, really, but he is an singer, songwriter and actor. And he's 76 today.

Happy birthday, Tom Waites!

Alvin's Secret Code, which I read in 5th (or so grade) and it set me off on more book about spies, codes and history. I eventually bought a copy of it for my son!

Tim was good friends with writer Sebastian Junger, who was part-owner, at one point, of The Half King bar in NYC's Chelsea. I'd stop in from time to time, saw the votive to Tim in the back. Have a photo of somewhere, but this is one from a 2019 NY Times article. (HK photo is mine) #Photojournalism

I think the Babybel became popular about 20 years ago via the South Beach Diet book. I remember my fiance following the recipes to get ready for our wedding and those mini wheels were often around.

Happy 77th birthday to an absolute icon of the Asbury Park/New Jersey music scene, Southside Johnny Lyon. Shooting an Asbury Jukes show is always a great time.

Near as I can tell, Mr. Davis was a math professor at Indiana U. For many years, he would include a short story in the family Christmas cards. This is a collection of those stories. Been in my pile for a year but I'm a seasonal reader so was waiting for December to start. #BookSky #Reading

Back in 2016, there was a Bruce Brown/Endless Summer exhibit on the Asbury Park Boardwalk. Very cool to see some of the archival photos and pieces. Like this.

I was thinking how today was just the November-ish of November days here in New Jersey. Gray and chilly to start. Leaves are all down. Rainy and chilly to end. So, I put on warm flannel, made tomato/vegetable/sausage soup, and read The Girl In The Green Dress.

#OTD in 1963, NY Daily News photojournalist Dan Farrell captures one of the most iconic photographs - Little John-John, age 3, saluting his father's casket at JFK's funeral - in history. #JFK #KennedyAssassination #Photojournalism

Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
Oh, someday girl, I don't know when
We're gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go, and we'll walk in the sun
But till then, tramps like us
Baby, we were born to run
