Trump admin is preparing to give more welfare (they did it in 1st admin) to farmers because he's destroyed their income with his trade policies. Farmers overwhelmingly support him and, once again, will accept welfare checks due to his idiotic economic policy. finance.yahoo.com/news/candid-...

UPDATE: Barely two weeks out, here's some of the people & companies who've stepped up to support the workshop in Boston. 1. Anonymous donor! $2k to cover students & freelancers! 💰 2. @thinktankphoto.bsky.social donating for giveaways! 🎒 3. My book publisher providing discounts to attendees! 📖

National Parks & forests are expected to close or be severely impacted by the looming government shutdown, so plan those fall excursions carefully! The last shutdown was during the Trump administration as well and lasted 35 days. #shutdown #nationalparks #travel

This settlement gives credit to the what people like me (who've dealt for years with infringement) have said forever; infringers prefer to ask for forgiveness instead of permission. Be sure to register your images with the USCO. #copyright www.cnbc.com/2025/09/25/j...

Still 🤩 about yesterday’s golden hour walkabout. #sandiego #walkabout #goldenhour #sandiegoliving #delmar

$305 at Costco for toilet paper, 2 packs of salmon, 1 ahi, chicken, Kirkland unsalted nuts, water, trash bags, cooking oil, 2 bags of granola, blueberries, dishwashing soap. Didn't have plain greek yogurt or wife's vitamins. Good thing #Trump lowered prices on "day one." #tariffs #economy

Fashion in Milan is so fun to take in because all you really have to do is walk around and observe. I love it. It transcends age and gender and reflects on the culture. #fashion #milan #streetfashion #streetphotography #italy #style #travel #europe

Taken following the Sept 11 attacks but it seems as important in today's political environment as it was then. #september11 #neverforget #stopthehate

Just learned that they call the time of year (after Labor Day) in San Diego “Local Summer.” ❤️ No crowds! 😎 #sandiego #delmar #localsummer

Happy National Wildlife Day! #getoutdoors #wildlife #nature #zion #photography

Horrific news out of Lisbon today where 15 are reported dead after the Gloria Funicular, which opened in 1885 and is also known as the Ascensor da Gloria, broke off from its cable and plummeted down the extremely steep hill. This is a popular tourist attraction. #gloria #funicular #lisbon #lisboa

American Society of Media Photographers New England has opened registration on my Oct workshop. Great value for 15hrs of freelance business training for photographers. www.asmp.org/ne/event/bus... #freelance #photography #photojournalism #boston #business

Yo, #sandiego, your beaches are 😍 #qualitylife #delmar #californiarules

Summer vibes in #sandiego

Stories & videos marking the 20th anniversary of #HurricaneKatrina are here. Photographers who documented the destruction should make sure their images are copyright registered to protect against unauthorized use which is very common with anniversary stories like Katrina.

Simple, they quit going to Vegas. Anyone who's been in the past few years know that The Strip & even "downtonw" is pathetically overpriced, a pain-in-the-ass to get to & not worth the hassle. Residents have their spots in Henderson & Summerland. #travel #lasvegas www.wsj.com/business/hos...

Registration is starting to kick in as we get closer. One week left to register & all levels welcome. I've had experienced colleagues, veteran freelancers & recent grads. Everyone learns something. #photoworkshop #freelancephotographer #freelancebusiness #freelancers #freelancing #Photojournalism

It's vital to understand licensing models & base fees/terms depending on image. Ex: Lt image is a specific family evacuating New Orleans after Katrina. Agency just licensed to Netflix for decent money as RM license. Rt, a generic travel image I just licensed as RF editorial for less. #freelancing

Futbol, or soccer to Americans, is the lifeblood of Europeans. The way the ball is omnipresent in society is awesome. ©Todd Bigelow/Contact Press Images #futbol #futbolislife #soccer #soccerlife #europe #italy #italia #venice #spain #espana #valencia #portugal #arouca #travel #streetphotography

With the plunging of the dollar, travelers are feeling it big time this summer travel season. $100 will get you 85 Euros and only 75 British Pounds. Ouch! #travel #travelwise #europe #dollar #international #tourism #america #economics #economy #travelphotography

Final image going to the printer so we can hang it in our new home is from a square in a small, coastal Portugese town about halfway between Porto & Portugal. I can't recommend White House Custom Colour enough. They're so good! #newhome #photography #print #portugal

Walked a brisk 4 miles along the waterfront yesterday on a gorgeous summer Monday. #sandiego #lifestyle #getoutside #socal #skyline #scape #citylife

My first “damn, I really do live in San Diego” moment on the freeway.

The ambivalence shown by most photogs I speak with is reminiscent of when the internet emerged & publishers all placed free content on there. We saw what that did to journalism. Photographers should be deeply concerned about how AI is using content without permission. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/holl...

Took it outside last night for a beautiful end to a beautiful day. 😍 #foodie #mediterranean #sandiegoliving

Maybe not classic summer beach reading, but I promise you this is written in a very, very non professorial way & is intended as a conversation around important topics. I share tons of real examples & stories throughout. #booksofbluesky #photography www.amazon.com/Freelance-Ph...

I've been a staunch supporter of retaining rights to my work and creating licensing revenue. That said, licensing does *not* always mean for money. I'm providing this image to the subject with a personal use only license & barring third party use so she has it for her & her daughter.

If it catches my eye, Idc what it is, I shoot it. A few random things that caught my eye last month on 2000+ mile #roadtrip through Arizona, Colorado, Utah and New Mexico. #monocrhome #photography #scape #canonr5 #southwest #travel #wander #explore

These important ops by fed law enforcement are jeopardized now when activists & politicians seek to announce their presence publicly with the misguided perception that everyone is ICE. There are LE in the field working drug, sex trafficking & dangerous fugitive cases. abcnews.go.com/US/us-marsha...

Met this gentleman while on a recent Southwest road trip. Robert was reading in the shade when we struck up a conversation. It's meeting people from all walks of life that inspires me to travel & shoot. #santafe #newmexico #travel #wander #streetportrait #photography #roadtrip #monochrome

Wishing everyone the happiest of #summersolstice! #getoutside #livelife #longestday #sunset #photography

The loft in our new San Diego home is slowly being transformed into a space for reading, relaxing and for guests to enjoy their own space outside the guest bedroom. The first theme for images is #streetphotography from Europe. #photography #travel #wanderlust #monochrome #canon

Pretty 🚀 launch seen from San Diego tonight. #starlink #rocket #sandiego

Been shooting news in San Diego for publications since early 90s, but this was my first as a resident of America's Finest City. 😎 60,000 (SDPD estimate), took part in Saturday's #NoKings protest. Vocal & emotional, but no violence & no arrests. #photography #sandiego #photojournalism

Personal news post! After the majority of my career and life living in Los Angeles, I've relocated to San Diego, aka Americas Finest City. ❤️SD! #sandiego #americasfinestcity #socal #photography

This👇! An older friend & teacher who lives in LA said yesterday that everyone is texting him because of what they’re seeing in the media & he doesn’t know why. Said the city seems absolutely normal (99% is). He asked if the National Guard was really deployed & then shook his head. #reality

Been swamped and out of the loop, but anyone else notice how no one’s talking about the utter failure of tariffs & trade deals or how prices haven’t gone down? The man is a master of misdirection especially when he can feed his, how to put it 🤔, easily duped base with fake emergencies?

My 22nd workshop at UCLA is Aug 16th & 23rd. The course has been held nationwide at major universities & hosted by ASMP & NPPA. This is real info freelance photojournalists & photographers need. Visit site for info & registration link. #photography #photojournalism #freelance #business

Visiting our nation’s cemetery is a sad, beautiful and humbling experience. #memorialday #ultimatesacrifice #arlington #respect #usa

Sebastio Salgado, a true legend who inspired so many photographers, has passed away. RIP. www.cnn.com/2025/05/23/a...

Went for a walk early this morning in Sedona and came across this sign. What does this even mean? 🤷‍♂️ #firstamendment

If you’re anywhere near Santa Fe, take time to visit Edition One Gallery for Ed Keating’s superb Route 66 exhibition. The work is exceptional & the gallery staff warm, friendly & engaging. Can’t say the same for another photo gallery where the show is good but the vibe is completely off putting.
