The story behind a picture that all came together when it felt like the world was falling apart..

As the weather is increasingly on our minds, I am bringing you an episode I began putting together back in August of 2020, after Hurricane Isais knocked out power to our home in Connecticut and as the pandemic was gripping the country. It’s a sort of scrap book of seemingly prosaic sounds that turned out to have more meaning as time passed. .

When the weather gets warm, it always reminds me of Summers past. Some of those memories feel like a lifetime ago. For this episode, I bring you the story behind one of my most beloved Summer images. A time in my life so frozen in the amber of time that I can barely imagine living it in the first place..

Batouly Camara, activist, entrepreneur and former UConn Basketball player, reflects on her life and faith and how it has led her to become a leader who empowers girls through basketball and sports..

I happened upon Mckensi and Patrick one summer day at Horsebarn Hill, a favorite destination in the small town in Northeastern Connecticut where I live. They were sitting, watching the sun set in the tall grass that would soon be hay for the cows grazing yards away. .

I photographed Trump for Fortune in January 2000, almost 21 years to the day of him reluctantly leaving office tomorrow. Mentioning his stubby fingers in the first paragraph, writer Jerry Useem, made him sound like a power-grubbing brat with questionable net worth. And in hiring me to take his portrait, Fortune’s photo department certainly couldn’t have had flattery in mind..
