Hey Gang! I spend a lot of time sitting at the computer editing photos. And I spend a lot of time driving back and forth between San Francisco and Portland for work. Which is to say, I listen to a lot of stuff. I’ve been wanting to share some of that for a while. So here it is!

LISTENING: Bundyville, Season 2. Building on the first season’s exploration of the people who forcibly occupied the Malheur Wildlife Refuge in eastern Oregon …. and got away with it.

LISTENING: Driving I5 at Dusk. I love to capture the feeling of a particular moment or place with music. This one is that particular magic of cruising along the interstate during the warm golden light of a summer sunset, driving 10 miles above the speed limit on cruise control. Life is good.

WORKING ON: So much great recent client work to share. Currently wrapping up edits on the dreamiest of farm dinners, a collaboration with soon-to-launch Piccone’s Corner and the inimitable Tournant team. I will photograph all of your farm dinners! It was the best night. (All images from the dinner.)

THINKING ABOUT: The Lonely Hour newsletter highlighted a few compelling excerpts from Heather Havriletsky’s book of essays. In praise of nuance, subtlety, time, imperfection. We live in a weird moment!

The rise of digital culture has exacerbated this problem dramatically. We're now, more than ever before, bombarded by hidden and overt messages about our personal worth.”
