New essay: The Limits of the Frame.
A reporting trip to southern Algeria taught me that risk, access, and effort don’t guarantee meaningful photographs. Some stories live at a scale the camera can’t compress.

New essay up. December is when nonprofits raise the most money, but often tell the weakest stories. Boards, especially faith-based ones, avoid the hard truth behind the work. It is time to change that. https://t.co/JdYIiJwPIU

A follow-up to my @Huckberry piece on taking your kids with you. The kids are older now, and the trips are farther away, planned eight months out, but the idea still holds. Travel is how we widen their world while we still can.

Young men aren’t broken. They’re untested.
A reflection on comfort, consequence, and the work that still matters.

El Fasher has fallen. The RSF now controls western Sudan. What comes next isn’t peace, it’s partition. The map of the Sahel is about to change again.

After years of chasing stories across deserts and frontlines, I finally built a space to write about what came after.
It’s called Super Bueno — essays on craft, consequence, and creative adulthood.

Photographers: skip the @CAStateParks photo contest.
Top prize? A $195 park pass.
In return, they own your work.
"Royalty-free, non-exclusive license" = free use, forever.
No judging panel listed. No exposure. No respect.
Young creatives: your art has value. Don’t give it away.

Just wrote a new photo essay from Sifnos 🌊
A quiet corner of the Cyclades, seen through place, light, and stillness.
Salt on skin. Scorpion fish. A 99-step path to Cantina.
This one’s special.

After 20 years in photojournalism, and a few transformative years teaching, I’m back in the field.

Relaunching my site, reigniting old sparks, and telling stories that still need telling.

Still teaching. Still chasing light.
Always looking closer.

Hayat Tahrir al-Sham’s takeover of Aleppo is a seismic shift. w/ Assad’s forces reeling, and Hezbollah stretched thin, Tehran’s prized ally faces even tougher challenges. This winter, Assad will need to make hard choices—and fast. The dominoes are trembling. #Syria #Lebanon #HTS

Exploring the #Yemen conflict: Is it more economic than military? Curious about the ripple effect on Jordan due to the disruption in commercial sea traffic.

With the exception of hitting that blue car, that firetruck move looks intentional and badass.

Concerning trend in nonprofit management retention: Colleagues frequently jumping between orgs, rarely staying >2 years. Boards, often led by the boomer gen, seem aloof. Time to reevaluate and invest in fairer compensation for upper management.

This is what it looks like from Mocha to Aden #Yemen - completely exposed. Mountains do not begin at least 30 miles from the coast. #houthi strikes are not coming from here.
