Hard to believe it’s been nearly two years since my largest photography exhibition to date, “Whispers”, debuted in Venice. My Docu-short, “Whispers” Julian Lennon: A Retrospective, which chronicles the experience and opening reception, is now streaming.

A guy was boarding a plane when he heard that the Pope was on the same
flight.
This is exciting!" thought the man. "I've always been a big fan of the Pope. Perhaps I'll be able to see him in person.”
Suddenly, the man realized his seat was right next
to the Pope himself.
But the man was too shy l
to speak to His Holiness.
Shortly after take-off,
the Pope took a crossword puzzle out of his carry on bag and began penciling in the answers.
"This is fantastic!" the man mused. "I'm really good at crosswords!"
It crossed his mind that if the Pope got stuck he might ask him for assistance.
Soon enough Pope turned to the man and said, "Excuse me, but do you know a four letter word referring to a woman that ends in 'unt'?
The three Cardinals behind, in front of and across the aisle from the pope shrunk down in their seats as far as possible, all pretending to be looking for something
on the floor.
The man next to the pope was in shock.
He couldn’t breathe.
He thought for a plausible answer and after a couple of minutes the light bulb came on.
Turning to the Pope,
he said, "I believe,
Your Holiness, that
the word you're looking for is aunt.'"
Of course!" the Pope cried as he shook the man’s hand..
“You wouldn’t happen to have an eraser, would you?”

A week after an air raid cut short their last cinema visit, my son and Taya were finally able to enjoy another movie together
Taya said a missile hit just 250 m (820 ft) from her apartment during the last attack
Some of the windows in her building were broken
Fortunately, her apartment wasn't damaged🙏
She said the whole building was shaking
Many buildings near her home were severely damaged
Obviously, the coming winter will be very tough
Of course, we all still have to make it to winter first
A heartbreaking photo 💔
A tiny puppy is sleeping next to an artillery shell
He doesn't know what war is
He just found a warm place beside Ukrainian defenders
This is the reality of war
Where innocence lives side by side with deadly weapons
My son sent me these photos from Kyiv before returning to his military unit
This is the Lukianivka McDonald's, damaged by russian missile attacks many times but repaired every time
Behind him is the burned-out Kvadrat mall, destroyed in a russian missile attack on May 24, 2026
Friends, we're ok
On my way to the hospital to see if my son can get an examination there
Wish me no air raid alerts - the hospital is on the left bank of the Dnipro
Meanwhile, my son is on his way to another examination at our family clinic
All these efforts are to confirm his diagnosis for the military medical commission
One evening when the Orange Monster and his driver were cruising along a country road all of a sudden the driver hit a pig, killing it instantly.
Trump told his driver to go up to the farmhouse and explain to the owners what had happened.
About an hour later the driver came staggering back to the car, his clothing stained and torn, holding a bottle of wine in one hand and a cigar in the other.
"What took so long and what the hell happened to you?" Trump shouted.
"Well, the farmer gave me the wine, his wife gave me the cigar and his 19-year-old daughter made mad passionate love to me,” answered the driver.
“Jesus Christ, what did you tell them?" demanded Trump.
The driver hiccuped and replied,
“All I said was,
‘I'm President Trump's driver
and I just killed the pig.’”
