Funny, how even six empty beds in a dorm room, filled the night before with people who said hello and meant it, can leave one with a cavernous hollowness. Across the globe — and across the heart that dwells on the globe, beating in rooms and with people — there are myriad forms of pain. […]
Views From The Window On Qatar Airways Flight 740
Qatar Airways flight 740, direct from Los Angeles to Doha, reminded me all over again what I love about flying long distance, especially with an ethnically diverse group of passengers and crew, and with mostly clear skies. During 15.5 hours of looking out the window, I saw the Santa Monica Pier, the cities of Twin […]
The Patrick Henrys of Tahrir Square (Cairo, Egypt – 2011)
The day was February 11, 2011. About an hour before Friday prayers began, while walking through Cairo’s crowded Tahrir Square, a man named Mahdy grabbed the sleeve of my shirt and said, “Hey, where you from?” He had a beard (that’s him in the center of the photo), a thundering voice, and when I said […]
Rainy Post-Inauguration Visit To The MLK Jr Memorial
Two days after the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States, still cringing from the hyper-nationalism of his inaugural speech, still yearning for rhetoric more truthful and hopeful and universal, I stood in the cold rain at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington DC. I found solace here, […]
The Inauguration Of Barack Hussein Obama (A Look Back)
On January 20, 2009, Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States. Also on that day, and in the same city (Washington DC), the man in this photograph was selling newspapers on 14th Street, just outside the Columbia Heights metro station. It was bitterly cold, but neither he nor the […]
10 Reasons To Love Estonia
For about three weeks in July 2015, I traveled around the country of Estonia, bumping into the Baltic Sea to the north and west, the Latvian border to the south, and the Russian border to the east. I loved Estonia, and wished I could have wandered it for a lifetime, crisscrossing it over and over like […]
Voices: Saro Saryan from Nagorno-Karabakh
I met Saro Saryan on a chilly September evening in 2016, when the taxi a friend and I were riding in pulled off a rough and torn-up road in Shushi, Nagorno-Karabakh, and into the drive of his home and guesthouse — called Saro’s Guesthouse — where we hoped he might have room for people with no reservations. […]
15 Photos: 2016 In Review
For the final blog post of 2016, here’s a selection of 15 photos representative of the year as experienced by my camera. These are not necessarily “the best” photos of the year — I’m still not sure how to make this kind of selection — but they are ones that I like. They are mostly in […]
A Sample Of Times In Which Pain Or Adrenaline Went Into Taking A Photo
In providing captions for photographs, there is often background to the image that the photographer leaves out. Each of the photos in this post, when I look at them, bring to mind moments of adrenaline or pain. I hope that these images with backstory — all of which come from a 2007 trip to Southeast Asia — […]
20 Photos: A Historic Day In Havana, Cuba (December 17, 2014)
The 17th of December, 2014, began like most other days in Havana. The morning was warm, the people were vibrant, and the buildings, whether in a state of decay or renovation, were beautiful to a photographer’s eye. When I set out that morning to photograph the city, I did not know that in the preceding months there […]
