At sunset, on the scorched earth where their Pacific Palisades home once stood, I had the honor of photographing sound healers Michael and Jahna Perricone as they laid out a blanket, placed their Tibetan bowls, and began to play.

When the world loses an artist, it dims a light that once enriched the soul of humanity. Val Kilmer photographed in Malibu, California. Immensely talented, deeply humble, and a genuinely kind human being ~ and one of my favorite shoots of all time. ~ Robert Sturman #valkilmer

These photographs from a yoga class in a Veracruz, Mexico maximum security federal prison are a reminder that healing, self-compassion, and growth can flourish even in the most unexpected places.

On this International Women's Day, I am sharing the unstoppable spirit of Tao Porchon-Lynch. Tao didn't just start ballroom dancing at 87; her journey began way back at 8, in India, where she defied norms to practice yoga, a pursuit considered fit only for boys.

Remember, when you point your camera at others, be on their level, look them in the eyes, never looking down on anyone. This photograph was made in collaboration with Africa Yoga Project at a children's home in Nairobi, Kenya. Each child had lost their parents.

I'd never photographed a hummingbird. I thought I'd try. Last year I decided I would eliminate the sentence "I am not that kind of photographer" and embrace it all, no matter how much I need to learn about the task at hand. As Michelangelo stated at 87, “I am still learning”

In a prison program in California, Paws for Life K9 Rescue saves dogs from being euthanized and then they are trained by incarcerated human beings in the program. It’s nothing short of extraordinary, magnificent, innocent and pure. Paws For Life K9 Rescue
