UC supports groundbreaking research with global implications, including promising pancreatic cancer vaccine work at UCLA. This is personal — a family member has pancreatic cancer. As federal funding grows uncertain, California has a chance to invest in UC research. #StandUpForUC #SpeakUp4Science

Seeing these Love Boat aspirants waiting to board their floating 24-hour buffet briefly evokes mild notes of existential despair, absurdity, and dread. Still, I hope they find happiness 😉 P.S. Imagining this boarding video with the DJ's Love Boat theme swapped out for Barber’s Adagio for Strings.

So proud of the UCLA women’s basketball team — their joy, their heart, their season. Go Bruins! 💙💛

The 1st song in this KCRW set — “Stay Where You Are” — has been looping in my head. I love the studio recording, but appreciate this live performance: soulful, wistful, gently evocative, with a lovely melodic shape that stays with you. Hope you enjoy it, too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ol59...

I lost an old friend recently. It’s made me think about how quietly people can struggle. If someone comes to mind, reach out. Small moments of connection matter more than we realize. And if you’re having a difficult time, I hope you’ll talk to someone you trust. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncZd...

An evening that stayed with me — the light, the air, and, most importantly, being out with my son. #Photography

A survivor of the devastating 2018 Woolsey Fire in Southern California, which swept through the western Santa Monica Mountains and destroyed most of Paramount Ranch — the historic filming site where this tree still stands. #Photography

Stillness #Photography

At times I wonder why I post here — what I return to is that creative expression, elevated or unadorned, mirrors our inner life. It voices what we cannot always articulate and reminds us we aren’t alone in thought or feeling. Even a single, simple photograph can connect across time and distance.
