Photographed and wrote for @nytimes about Tristan da Cunha, whose inhabitants -- insulated by the world's widest moat -- have a distinct upper hand on the coronavirus. "All we have for our protection is our isolation and our faith." https://t.co/GJgZ69WAcq

Travel is so often defined by what we see. For @nytimes, I went to India to report on a different kind of journey—one where visually impaired and sighted travelers navigate the world together.

Released today! Thanks to a grant from Patagonia, I produced "Wood Hood" -- a short doc about the youth outdoor program in NYC and Denver that I co-founded a few years ago. Watch here: https://t.co/Vt8gfQQqpM

Awarded Best Short Film at the @BanffMtnFest, "Wood Hood" follows DeVaughn, a 15-year-old from NYC, as he trades the urban jungle for a boys wilderness retreat with @Camping2Connect, a BIPOC-led mentorship initiative fostering leadership, brotherhood and inclusivity outdoors.

San Francisco is in a bad way. Vibes are all effed up. I can’t do much to solve the problems here, but I can make pancakes. So I hung up fliers all over the neighborhood and made pancakes. Over 75 people came and over 125 pancakes were eaten. Here’s what I learned: 👇

@chriscolin3000 a shame because €2 is such a practical denomination in Europe (albeit as a coin)

@BarackObama My condolences, @BarackObama. Please enjoy this photograph I shot of her in 2008, days before your election, with the cardboard cutout she proudly erected in her home. #mamasarahobama

The death of @BarackObama's stepgrandmother this week brings me back to my visit with her in the days leading up to the 2008 Election. “Barack is a good listener,” she told me. “I think he’s got all it takes to be a world leader." https://t.co/WjTF5R311E

@SandraBeasley I was delighted when I first saw this story in the magazine.

I’m beyond heartbroken to hear about the passing of Tony Rice. No one has had a more profound impact on my musical world. His playing, singing, writing, and arranging broke the bluegrass mold and will eternally attest to the fact that music can take you anywhere, from anywhere.
