I realize that I never posted about this, so it’s long overdue, but something I am quite proud of.

I’m honored to have written the forward for the one and only Ian Ruhter’s sublime monograph “The Lake.”

And it's already into its second printing!

Kaitlin Olsen is proof positive that you can be a class act and hilariously funny at the same time. Thank you for your time and attention at last year’s Television Critics Award shoot. Always a fan.

Here's a later interview for @analogforever.bsky.social I did with photographic artist Andy Mattern & his project "Ghost." This was a long-term interview that took place over the course of a year as the project progressed. A little different than most.
