I wrote a novel about wealth, privilege,
NYC, the 24 hour news cycle, the internet, racism, fashion, exploitation, family, the apocalypse, then put it in a drawer,
and forgot about it for over 20 years.

Excited to announce that my new book, It's All Relative (co-written with Kirstie McLellan Day) will be released 4/27/27 & can be pre-ordered now! A scientific memoir & much more. (The photo of a much younger me relates to the end of my book, Atom. 😊)

Her protest eventually led to an agreement with the Pacific Lumber Company to preserve both the tree and a 200-foot buffer zone surrounding it.

People often ask me about my favorite photo I’ve ever captured. It’s nearly impossible to choose just one, but this image almost always comes to mind.
