I first heard this song in a 2003 Saturn Ion commercial, and it's been with me ever since. The whole album is ace (As in great, not asexual.)

Someone once told me they didn't consider photography art. When I thought about it, I realized something. Photography is as close to a form of practical time travel as we've gotten, so far. No other form of documentation exists that is as definitive as a photo. So maybe photography isn't art.

Once during an Astronomy class, a young woman asked the teacher, "When do we get to learn about how to read a horoscope?" And the teacher, aghast, said "This is an Astronomy class, not an Astrology class." We never saw her in class again. True story.

Very thankful to have met and photographed all the people I have so far, among many other things in my life.

The final product is always the tip of the iceberg, all the things that it takes to get there remain under the surface.

I see your hard work. Keep going.

There should be a holiday based around things we're not thankful for. "No Thanks-Giving", id call it.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Time for my annual viewing of The Last Waltz, as dictated by tradition 😎

It's one thing to think Jethro Tull is an actual person, but for like 15 years I thought it was just one dude named Jeff Rotell.

Got invited to a small holiday party with some book nerds, and this is my gift combo for the White Elephant gift exchange

Thinking about this shoot with Devi from 2017. It was at the San Francisco Columbarium.

Slowing down a bit with my "content" approaching the holidays, as I usually do. I'll be posting here as usual, but I think there's a natural inclination to keep very busy during the winter months to take our minds off how short the days are. I hope you have the best holidays. Excelsior
