New part of Terminal 1 is open at #LAX and they’ve moved security to it. I’m usually through in 10 minutes. Today, we’re at 40 minutes and waiting. Incredible ineptitude.

I don't know that I've ever had such a strong urge to say "no" to an assignment before. Here's what what I shot during it: #photojournalism

Ah, bummer. Sorry to bother ya! Had to try. Been missing a few people for this and had luck finding them on here.

Oh good! Glad I could find you.

This is how you spread rumors right here. Don’t add to hysteria by posting unconfirmed, and likely false, rumors.

Analysis | The White House’s disingenuous claim about CBO’s political leanings What the White House calls a ‘verifiable fact’ is a nonsense fact.

Fact Checker by Glenn Kessler: The White House’s campaign against the Congressional Budget Office is veering into the ridiculous.

What they call a “verifiable fact” is a nonsense fact.

Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, & Neil Young Rally in Los Angeles - Justin L. Stewart - Cinematographer, photographer, Journalist US Senator Bernie Sanders and US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hold a rally in Los Angeles, California during their 'Fight the Oligarchy' tour.

Lots of backlogged work to share here. Here's a recent shoot when @sanders.senate.gov and @ocasio-cortez.house.gov came to town on their Fight Oligarchy campaign:

Suffice to say, there are no solid answers I know of and so here I sit, trying to share links to my website and work. Love to hear any ideas people are trying themselves out there.

Alternatives? Send a more regular newsletter? The problem there being it's hard to build a newsletter subscription list and it once again doesn't get as many eyes, but they are more targeted and interested in your work.

I'm hesitant to go through that again anywhere else besides my own website. The problem with that is people don't frequent websites like they do social media, so your work isn't seen or shared on any similar level.

I've thought a lot about the warnings of building a home on another's land. Instagram is a perfect example (or Twitter). You invest time and build a portfolio and following, only to see the terms or ownership change and everything you've "built" changes hands and can be used differently.

I've fallen all the way off the social media wagon since I decided to stop sharing my work on Instagram. Hard to figure out what to do when your career is visuals and social media is a visual machine built to share them, but also a place that makes your work vulnerable. I'm still figuring this out.

Enjoying the clean interface in the Foto app. Nice to not have the video spam of all the internet clogging the search feed.

The Netflix tycoon ‘saving’ a ski resort — by wooing the elite Reed Hastings says creating a private members’ club out of Powder Mountain will help locals. Not everyone is convinced

One of my favorite assignments ever this past month, photographing Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings on his mountain in Utah. First time I've been paid to use my snowboarding skills that I developed growing up next to the Tetons.

If you're able, please consider donating to my fundraiser for ACPB or any of the other countless fundraisers for those affected by these fires.

But animals have also been deeply affected by these fires. Many have lost their homes, and countless owners, overwhelmed by their own challenges, have had to make the heartbreaking decision to leave their pets behind.

Before the fires devastated so much of LA, I joined the Angel City Pit Bulls marathon team to raise funds for their incredible work rescuing and training pit bulls and other dogs. In the aftermath of such loss, it feels difficult to ask for donations— especially when so many people are in need.
