“When I ask to photograph someone, it is because I love the way they look and I think I make that clear.

I’m paying them a tremendous compliment.

What I’m saying is, I want to take you home with me and look at you for the rest of my life.” – Amy Arbus

WHAT REALLY MATTERS

TO GET SUPER PERSONAL FOR A MOMENT…

I’m super proud of all of our kids. And my wife.

They’re each doing hard things. And they’re amazing at the things they take on. I’m so UNBELIEVABLY grateful and proud of them.

But in this long a** text to my son, I’m very clear on my POV on what REALLY matters in life…

And I’ll throw this encouragement out to everyone…

$20, given to a stranger, who’s asking for help. We’ve all needed help.
Maybe today you can be someone who helped someone else.

And if you give $20 to someone, but can’t really afford it right now… let me know. We got you.

Much love. Always and all-ways.

THANK & DON’T SELL

Hey brands. Say “thank you.”
Really and simply, just say thank you.

To your customers. Your teams. Your communities.

Make them feel it – everywhere.
Maybe it’s a “thank you” day, all about them.

But f***ing mean it.

Then – do the hard part:
DON’T SELL. DON’T ASK. DON’T REQUEST.

Just give.

If you’re real about it, you’ll get what you’re after anyway:
A true community. The ones who stay.
