Younger Photographers, Older Photographers Need to Hear This tinyurl.com/5b6mv9m6
I’ve photographed @CocoGauff for years—from her first @espn cover as a teenager to campaigns for @newbalance, @UPS, @CarolsDtr, and @BarillaUS.
The world sees a champion. I’ve been lucky enough to know the person: humble, kind, and genuine. behance.net/gallery/25248059…
My photography teacher introduced me to Eric Legge. Years later, I gifted his work to my design professor. I love when the artists who’ve shaped my life connect. 🌈💜 @DirkFowler @ravensouthbeach #EricLegge #artists #design #folkartist #songwriter
I’ve admired @CourtneyMarama’s work for years. I asked her to create this ring—not as an engagement ring, but as a promise to myself.
Handcrafted from New Zealand Pounamu, it honors her Māori heritage, and every purchase helps restore the land.
A reminder to choose ourselves.
One year ago I woke up in a hospital bed with no memory of what happened and enough metal in my legs to set off airport security for the rest of my life.
Today I’m debating religion in Facebook comments.
Recovery is weird. 😅
One year ago today I woke up in a hospital bed unable to move.
I spent weeks unconscious and woke up with broken bones and metal in my legs.
A year later, I'm still healing.
This photo isn't beautiful.
But surviving is.

Hey @British_Airways, I've spent hours trying to make a simple flight change from Kenya. Dead numbers, dropped calls, agents who can't take payment, transfers that disconnect, and no callbacks. A simple change became a nightmare. Never again. #BritishAirways #TravelFail
Hours on hold. Dead phone numbers. Dropped calls. No resolution. Now someone claiming to be from @British_Airways calls me back and appears to be a scammer. At this point I'm not sure what's harder: changing my flight or finding a BA employee. #BritishAirways #TravelNightmare
Three days trying to change a flight with @British_Airways. Hours on hold. Multiple disconnects. No resolution.
Finally gave up and booked elsewhere.
Paid $1,900 for the ticket. Refund offered: $105.38.
That tells you all you need to know. #BritishAirways
Two zebras wandered by as the sun dipped low over the Mara. Earlier, we watched two cheetahs lounging in the grass, then toasted the day with Prosecco and the best caramel popcorn I’ve ever tasted.
The Masai Mara doing what it does best—making reality better than any dream.
Found this in Don King’s office years ago. Don King. Bush. Clinton.
Different costumes.
Same theater.
Money & Power.
You know the one~the one that convinces women they need to find ‘The One’.
Ladies, you ARE the One.🌺
Dream lately~coffee, birds, good books, and zero news.
Turns out the toughest guy in the world was also one of the kindest. And the real hero on set? His wife~gracefully making sure everything ran smoothly, quietly looking out for him the entire time. Legends don’t just walk in with presence…
they walk in with love.
Rest in peace
Five years old to now.
Our mothers were the Praying Mothers Society. They gathered and prayed for their children. PMS 1.0. We’re the daughters. PMS 2.0. We gather, drink wine, and laugh.
Same people. Different decade.
Lifelong friendships, still intact.
A powerful journalist–photographer duo
Julie K. Brown & Emily Michot
One uncovers the truth.
The other makes it impossible to look away.
Together, they remind us that accountability begins when courage meets clarity—when words investigate and images bear witness.

From boat builders to private investigators, Florida’s Santa impersonators are much more than the beards they’ve been blessed with. In this photo essay from our archives, photographer @mbkoeth explores the personal lives of Santas from across Florida.

There are not very many men in my life that I put on a pedestal. Chris, my former (land)lord is one of them. He’s humble to the point of correcting me when I call him my landlord, so I just call him my lord. It feels more appropriate. #MiamiBoyfriends
