I had an emotional dream last night about being back in New York. Like most of my dreams it was fuzzy upon waking but I felt a lingering sadness that dissipated when I realized I was snuggling next to my sleeping daughter. Who then farted and asked if she could play a video game with her dad.

Listen, Broligarchy is not some cute synonym for oligarchy. It's genuinely different & WAY more dangerous.

I'm a sociologist who's been studying the ultra-rich globally for 17 yrs, entering their world as an offshore wealth mgr. Published 2 books abt them.

🧵Broligarchs are distinct in 3 ways:

For those who say Elon Musk’s neo-Nazi ideology is just a troll and not a deeply held belief, I give you the reality of what happens when you give him this kind of unchecked power.

This is who he is, and it’s also who he associates with. Essential we discuss it as it is instead of whitewashing.

I still feel very proud that Craig and I have a Chris Santa Maria original in our anniversary collection!!!!

Aw thanks friend!!! ❤️

My husband and 4yo daughter wrote a song together and I can’t stop smiling about it 😍😍😍😍😍

Tried to stay offline too for at least a few hours!!!!

A landscape photo taken in North Vancouver of a river/creek and greenery

It’s a good day to take a nice walk outside and get away from the noise. Clear your head for a bit if you are able to. It’s gonna be a long and tough four years. Photo taken in Lynn Canyon, North Vancouver.

Found this photo on an old hard drive from 2010. At the time I thought it was too dark but now I have changed my mind! #photography

Very true! I feel pretty confident about my cloud storage for everything past the 2010s but before that it’s a real crapshoot!

A friend of mine from college lost their home in the LA fires. It’s gotten me thinking about what matters most and what I’d try desperately to save if I had to evacuate. It’s also made me want to get serious about finally digitizing old family photos and film from the 90s/00s! #filmphotography

My heart is with LA right now. A few people I know have lost homes. Unimaginable!

Rainbow spray from a garden in nyc early 2000s. I’ve been feeling under the weather so needed a colorful pick me up today. #photography

Thank you!

Thank you very much!! The harder part is taking the advice haha

Sometimes it pays to look down. This year I want to remind myself that changing perspective (literally and figuratively) is essential to switch things up when feeling stuck. Some street shots from the Times Square area circa 2008 or so. #photography #streetphotography

A black and white photo shot with a Holga camera of a car stuck in a ditch on a rural road

Happy new year! One of my only resolutions is to shoot some film for fun again! And not get stuck in the same old ruts. Do you have any photo or life goals this year? #filmphotography #believeinfilm #holga120

It's a good time of year to practice your camera swooshing technique on Christmas/holiday fairy lights. Adjusting the focus, zoom and the movement of the camera during each exposure can create some fun variations. I do enjoy the cheerful vividness of the lights. #lightpainting #photography

Red and blue circular swirling shapes

Red, green and blue light

The winter season allows us to appreciate the beauty of light! Here are some photos of flash lights suspended on strings swirling around making lovely long exposure parabolas. They give me an astrophotography vibe! #photography

A grid of few portraits in black and white of nude models.

I worked for the photo dept of Time Out NY in 2011 and one of my favorite assignments was taking portraits of nude models that pose for art school classes. I was amazed how trusting the models were with me and how freely they used their bodies as a means of artistic expression. #photography

Thanks a bunch!

Thank you!! So kind of you to say

Grass, blue sky with a big white cloud and a rainbow arching over two silos on a farm. The square frame and a black vignette signal this was taken with a Holga camera.

This is what I’d consider to be a “lucky shot”, from a car window with a Holga somewhere along the PA turnpike. With photoshop and AI changing what it means to have luck when creating images, I think many of are drawn to film photography again for its serendipity. #filmphotograohy 🎞️ #believeinfilm

I like how the warm tones of the restaurant’s lights inside contrast with the cooler dusk hues of the sky/street. Makes me want to join the folks in the restaurant for a cozy meal

The rusty exterior of an abandoned house. Objects are strewn about including a old TV with a bird-like shape in its glass. In front of it lies an open book with pages turning in the wind.

Today I went down a Wicked rabbit hole and learned about “No Fly” shows where the rigging to get Elphaba up during Defying Gravity doesn’t work so all the actors drop to the floor to make her look taller instead. Just thought that was neat. Film image from 2006. #filmphotography #photography

An early experiment in photoshop (2010). My daughter’s been struggling with frustration when she’s learning a new skill (writing her name, pedaling a bike) but hasn’t mastered it yet & I keep tell her “keep trying!”. Being ok with discomfort when learning something new takes practice #photography
