My friend Michael Abels is the composer Rhiannon Giddens collaborated with on this incredible opera. I was lucky enough to see it performed in LA a few years ago.

Sending all the good vibes to @thecroissantcowboy.bsky.social for his new life in Paris! We had fun doing this shoot last month on his birthday.

Loved meeting @thecroissantcowboy.bsky.social last month and we made some great images. Thanks @desertbarebear.bsky.social for helping out too!

OpenAI Announces Construction Of New Data Center On Top Of Sick Child

Happy #humpday! Featuring Ruaridh on my roof (you're welcome, neighbors)

Happy #Fursday! I dug up some college work (ca. 2001?) for this one. Shot on film, no less! #mediumformat

After seeing this clip of Chad Bianco and hearing him speak for the first time, his whole life makes so much sense to me now.

Happy 89th Birthday George Takei! George Takei, born on April 20, 1937, in Los Angeles, California, is an actor, activist, and social media phenomenon who has lived one of the most remarkable lives in American entertainment. As a child, Takei and his family were forcibly relocated to Japanese...

From my collab with artist Amy Kaps.

Earthset from Artemis II. I am overcome.

See you at Hwy 62 & Park on Saturday in #joshuatree

Good morning, BlueSky

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

Eisenhower

War will never give us peace. I know *you* know this already, and I’m saying nothing profound, but I needed you to know I know too.

🍎 was the only remaining subscription I had on @profgalloway.com's #resistandunsubscribe list. I've been an Apple customer since I was a teenager (I'm 45), and until last week, I used them for everything. It took all month to get all the cloud stuff moved over but it's done, and I'm happy about it.

maybe it’ll happen in the middle of his speech

Mathematician & NASA 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘳 Katherine Johnson died #OTD in 2020. She was instrumental in the success of the first US manned spaceflights, calculating complex trajectories enabling humans to reach orbit & land on the moon. Her story was told in 𝘏𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘍𝘪𝘨𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴 (book/movie). #WomenInSTEM #BHM

Desert Folks: these items will be distributed on Sunday, along with home cooked meals. If you're able to contribute any of these items but not able to get them to 29 Palms, I'm happy to pick up from Palm Springs to Yucca Valley before Sunday. And of course if you need any of these items, c'mon by!

Happy Friday! Here's a fashion / swimwear story I shot for a local rag in my 20s, which I think was the tail end of the magazine explosion. I was "classically (commercially) trained" so I always left room for text back then, but designers rarely took advantage of it.

Happy #thirstday! Here's another one from the book. Scott, photographed in my studio back in 2007.

All that's left for me on this list is Apple (will happen this month) and I still have an Instagram account, so Meta.

We’re canceling all streaming as part of #resistandunsubscribe, which means no more Apple Music, so I’m gonna start playing vinyl more. This morning needed jazz so it’s Miles Davis, Birth of the Cool. Gonna check out the used shops this weekend. Any album recommendations?

Happy #humpday! Shot this 20 years ago. If I recall, the model preferred anonymity so I shan't name him... and I think that beach ball came with an issue of some fashion mag. This was published in my 2009 book, "Shooting Male" I still have those apple boxes. They served as tables at my wedding.

Don’t know how many more examples it’s going to take for people to realize that billionaires are an existential threat to democracy and its institutions.

Happy Monochrome Monday with Chris in Anza-Borrego a few years back. #mcm

Hell, yeah. “I’ve got white skin, so I’m using my privilege to speak for my friends and neighbors. We’re telling them to stay home and stay safe, and we’re coming out and fighting for them.”

Anyone in / headed to / near Joshua Tree want to shoot (once it warms up)? Say hi. Here's a shot of Jase that we shot in JTNP a few years back, had a lot of fun on that shoot.

This whole thing. Everything that’s happening is about riding the momentum and wave. There are so many people at different political levels. Some have been organizing for a long time, while others are brand new. This time is about supporting the energy to and get people engaged in a strike.

Today, we stand in solidarity with Minnesota. Here's how you can be part of this movement. #iceout #iceoutforgood #minnesota Take action: indivisiblelasvegas.org/weekly-actio... Protest today: www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve... Stand Up Saturday: indivisiblelasvegas.org/event/stand-...

MLK Day Special: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in His Own Words

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

In 2009, Bruno Gmunder published a book of my work titled "Shooting Male." It's out of print now but here's a taste for #FCF

It's wild to me that I've lived here 9 years. Every year brings something new. Today it's rainforest-meets-desert. #joshuatree

Happy Birthday, Patti! I've been fortunate to see her a few times in recent years up here at Pappy's

Help my friend and artist Harold Cleworth stay in Venice. At 86 years old, he’s being forced out of his home of the past 30 years to make way for new development 🙄 gofund.me/730e8072c

Amy submitted this print from our ”Striped World” collab to an auction to benefit asenseofhome.org and we’re very happy it received a few bids, the final donation being $250. Check out A Sense of Home and gift them an end-of-year donation if you can :-)

I’m looking for a 2006 Burning Man ticket to give to someone as a gift (he wants to frame all his old ticket stubs but is missing 2006). If anyone can help, give a shout.

The onion just prints the news now

I'm making some mini box sets of prints for friends for the holidays. Working on a "leather" set today. Shot this somewhere in Anza-Borrego in 2006.

A still from a piece with Amy Kaps (amykaps.com) in 2016 called "Palimpsest" where artist Flavio Bisciotti invited some of his artist friends to create art from his burned-down studio. Amy and I shot the work in his studio then framed it as a burnt, freestanding 2-panel piece found in the wreckage.
