I took this photo at the last Harris rally in Pittsburgh the night before the election. I still believe in this message, more than ever. I know that the muck of today will get us there one day, even as I’m disheartened more than I’ve ever been in my life. I gave us more credit than this, and I’m struggling to live in this world right now. I’m struggling to love as I had. I’m struggling to find words. I’m struggling to hear the beat of my own devastated heart for what is happening in this country, and the ways we will pay for the choice so many made to put our lives and livelihoods in the hands of a convicted felon and ra**st. My sincere apologies to Canada in particular. You’re like that neighbor who lets you know where they put their spare key, just in case you need anything. That neighbor who always has your back, feeds your cat when you’re away, brings in your mail when they’re getting their mail anyway. It hurts my heart to know how hated we are in the world right now. We are the new Germany. I never thought it could happen here. I’m sorry that I can’t post pretty pictures, or encouraging films, or my latest tiles these days. I just can’t right now. #2026 #2028

My sincere and heartbroken apologies to Canada, Mexico, China, and to any other country we are trying to screw over with tariffs that will only hurt those in this country - especially the states that fully supported this regime. WE will be the ones to feel the economic burden. To Canada especially, an ally we have stood side by side with like kind and familiar neighbors - I’m so sorry that while our fathers and mothers fought with you in wars to preserve the democracy we are now throwing away, the felon ra**st who is a squatter in the White House is burning it to the ground. I’m beyond disgusted and saddened. Our national anthem is being booed when played in other countries, and we are being called a threatening nation - an enemy to the good intentions we have valued over decades. My father would be turning over in his grave. #2026 #2028 😣

A friend shared this with me when I told her I was creating non-stop these days. That I didn’t know how else to be on the planet at this time. That I hoped my silence wasn’t taken as complacency at the atrocities that will only get worse in this country and in the world, all for the price of eggs - and to blame our human discomfort on someone else that doesn’t look or speak like us. Who knew a Trans kid was more dangerous to us than an AK-47, in some hell inspired perspective of what is “Godly”. No, it’s not complacency. It’s a regrouping of sorts in how best to be a light at this time of darkness, when my heart feels so dark. How to contribute goodness instead of hiding my head in the sand, safe n my little world while families are being torn apart. (ICE agents in grade schools? How absolutely pathetic.) How to navigate the hatred I feel at those I love who voted for this modern day Hi**er in the name of their god. (Not mine.) I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to speak to them again. I know I’ll never trust them again. So I create. In time I’ll know how what I create will be used to hold the high watch, even as I struggle to hold it myself.

How sad that on this 80 anniversary of the liberation of concentration camps, we are witnessing and accepting a new kind of camp - a modern day round up of those we don’t like. Believe me, this is the same energy that we all said could never happen in this country. Make no mistake, it’s here.

I voted and then came down to the river on this beautiful day, to begin to heal. I don’t know about you, but the past ten years have been such an emotional ordeal of taking sides, in my heart and politically. It’s time to heal. Thank you for voting, however you voted. I’ll start there.

One of the greatest gifts (and honors) of being a photographer is the chance to be a witness to life. The celebrations, the changes, the proclamations. I get to be a trusted witness to those moments, and it’s a privilege I have never taken for granted in the fifty years I’ve been holding a camera. But sometimes I get to be both the giver and the receiver of this gift - and that is when I get to see time change right before my eyes. From one year to nine years, just like that. All in the click of a shutter I swear.
