A new single from my band about those narratives of fear that try and divide us, and make some feel like they don't belong. And how important it is to be the opposite... to make everyone feel safe. There's room at the table. Rest your heart in mine. Please listen.

Protesters gathered at Wichita State University Monday during an appearance by Kansas senator Jerry Moran. Moran entered and exited by car through a garage entrance, causing the protesters to push signs up against windows of the building when Moran entered.

A look at Kansas today. Could be anywhere in the state, tbh, but this photo was taken near Burns, Kansas. #kswx #winter

I've been covering the news of the American Airlines crash here in Wichita, where the flight originated from. Some photos from a prayer vigil that was held this afternoon.

Somehow I doubled my followers today. So that's nice. Also, a beautiful snow fell across southern Kansas today, and I feel like sharing because we're seeing a lot of terrible images out of CA and like most, I feel a little helpless. So here's a reminder of the tranquility that's still out there.

Crows are really just flying honey badgers. They don't care. This one was determined to take a shot at this bald eagle's lunch. Along the Arkansas River near downtown Wichita, Kansas. #wildlifephotography #baldeagles

Day 25 of sharing my favorite photos of 2024: I was asked during a speech in April what my bucket list thing to photograph was and my answer was the Northern Lights. In less than a month, on May 10th, it happened. 3 times I saw the aurora this year. But this was the first. #aurora #northernlights

Lately the world feels kinda dark. So I made a documentary about something good that came from bad. A statue of baseball and civil rights pioneer Jackie Robinson was stolen from a youth baseball field and a community followed Jackie's lead in how they responded.

Why paying for a newspaper (or real journalism) is worth every penny. Florida is no longer the Sunshine State. To get a public record, you often have to hire a lawyer.
