63mph

Photographer • Writer • Curiosity is my compass -- 63mph is the top speed of my ’86 VW van. 63mph is about slowing down and exploring your own path.

Almost 7 years ago to the day, I drove my creaky VW van over the border of the Yukon and entered Alaska. This was my first sunset there. I’m still not exactly sure what drew me to the Great Land, but spending 3… https://t.co/w52LbOP036

Normally I’d be chasing alpine lakes this time of year with haleygracef, embarking on our annual cooling off escape from the heat of the Hawaiian summer. But, we ain’t about to get on a plane, so I’ve been forced to… https://t.co/CxbLSA0yyn

This feeling is always swimming through the air, just waiting to be grabbed. https://t.co/nmL29vJBva

Followers dropping like flies
realness making them run

don’t give me real
that’s not the deal
I want light
don’t you know
that’s my right

Go on then

I see you circling
the rot of pop culture

I once had a pasture to walk in
that felt like it was all mine
It was the perfect place to
rid my head of the demons
and their restless chatter

I shared the pasture
with only the cows
and that was OK
because I have… https://t.co/BKboqGSRlf

We can’t change what we refuse to see. Look at that skin, that skin is white. I’ve come to believe my coloring is the single most defining reason I have been “successful” in this world. White is why I know the police… https://t.co/hzneSLVSV0

George Floyd. The war inside rages. The war outside rages. Anger. Disbelief. Hopelessness. Hope. Hope that this could finally be the moment – the moment we flip hundreds and hundreds of years of history and finally… https://t.co/Rywol9NudH

It all happened before noon
on a Sunday
I was on my red bike
going downhill fast
way too fast
for a potholed country road
… when I heard the shot

my animal brain recoiled
knowing it was a gunshot
that touched my… https://t.co/w5bMYjlL2W

Hey all you old trucks,
thank you for
not setting off an alarm
when I decide
I don’t want a seatbelt

thank you for
not doing the driving and shifting
for me

thank you for
making me wonder
if we’re going to get… https://t.co/J49KsZhRjV

The ancient lakebed you’re looking at is known as The Racetrack. Aptly named, don’t ya think? 3 miles long by 2 miles wide… it even has a Grandstand (that giant stack of boulders in the middle). This landscape… https://t.co/xhLFfSEBp0

I’m thrilled to announce that a new film I wrote, Unnur, was selected by the 2020 Tribeca Film Festival, @mountainfilm, @5pointfilm, and several others (you can check out the trailer in my stories). It’s a touching,… https://t.co/AXQFngs8oU

How many old married couples do you see that are worth imitating? That are truly still in love and working to understand the mystery of each other? haleygracef and I talk about that sometimes, and in our eyes, those… https://t.co/lCTac1q9X3

I’m a window seat kind of guy. It isn’t unusual for me to spend several hours of a transcontinental flight watching the landscape pass by. It’s fascinating how small changes add up to huge change over a couple of… https://t.co/E4hZU9kTPI

Isolation. It’s a funny thing. It seems it either makes us or breaks us. When I first moved to these islands, volcanically crafted 2,400 miles from a main continent, I got real itchy. I rambled away from them often… https://t.co/Zpb6mRM64Y

I wonder what you’re seeing and hearing and noticing where you live. So far this April, only 4,000 people have arrived through Hawai’i’s airports. Last April it was close to 1 million. The whine of aircraft engines… https://t.co/0kGizIYldw

Dear COVID
Oh COVID
you have a DASH 19
after your name
and I have no idea
what that means,
I don’t think anyone does.

But what I have learned
from you
is more about who is essential
like health care workers
and… https://t.co/qdwgzlkjyK

I don’t know about you, but I’ve had an incredibly hard time finding any sense of balance lately. I’ve talked to some of my friends about it, but I feel better telling all of you. Because maybe you feel the same? I… https://t.co/6rIRz8IEI1
