A few photographs from the holidays. I try to bring my camera with me everywhere, but sometimes I don’t and that’s okay. I’m always making pictures in my head anyway. When I do have it with me, I’m ready. It even sparks conversations sometimes. I’ll get comments like, “Oh, I love your camera - how old is it?” The Leica M262 has that kind of presence. A timeless design. I love that about it. It’s a tool, not a toy. And it makes me want to pick it up every single day. To me, photography is about documenting life as it happens - not illustration work, like Gary Winogrand talks about. I agree with that completely. Do whatever you want with a camera, I honestly don’t care. But for me, it’s about capturing moments as they are. Because once they pass, they’re gone forever.

A reminder that bitcoin is not crypto.

I ended up making this image generation tool for helping myself organize my prompts. Coming to it from a photographer / illustrator / artist so something to consider when using this and viewing the options here... Think it works great. Curious to hear if it helps you. Best on desktop.

What kind of growth actually lasts? What becomes larger without becoming corrupt? Three unlikely subjects converge on an answer - James the Greater, sequoia trees, and #Bitcoin - each illustrating the same underlying pattern: durable transformation starts small, grows slowly, and compounds through open networks. James the Greater shows how meaning spreads relationally, one connection at a time, with no guarantee of immediate success. The lesson is that consequential change travels through human-scale transmission, not viral broadcasts. Sequoias embody consistency over spectacle. They become immense through gradual accumulation - ring by ring, season by season. They're robust (able to withstand stress) and generative (they contribute to renewal beyond themselves). Their strength cannot be faked or rushed. Bitcoin reveals how openness and distributed participation create robustness at scale. No single owner, no permission gate, no point of failure. Voluntary participation and public verification create feedback loops where more network activity increases utility, which attracts more participants - a compounding, non-linear dynamic. These systems share a recognizable shape. They're grounded in openness - which permits correction, adaptation, and learning - and they produce what the I call "goodness" in systemic terms: robustness and generativity. Closed systems can be efficient, but they become brittle. Open systems stay alive by remaining capable of evolution. The deepest changes don't announce themselves. They begin quietly, compound patiently, and endure by staying open.
