Thank you to @annegalyean for reposting this. As a Thank you to @annegalyean for reposting this. As a privileged white man I take a lot of things for granted, including in my work as a photographer. Reading this was definitely an eye opener, and something that I hadn't really considered before. #Repost @tsalani ・・・ I am very grateful for the support I have received the past few days. Although I am a very private person I feel it is important to share some of my experiences as a black man outdoors, as a photographer, and living in a van. The sad truth is I always feel a little scared and extra weight on my shoulders. . .

I have been pulled aside by both Rangers and “Photographer Patty’s” and asked to abide by rules no one else around me is following. . .

While eating lunch outside an apartment building and private tennis complex(where I worked) I was surrounded and accused of casing houses and using a nice van as cover. . . In Lake Tahoe I was accused of shooting bears (with guns) and using the van to transport their dead bodies. . . I have been asked what I am doing in an area and what I am concealing under my puffy jacket while hiking in the winter. . . I have been the only photographer told to move because there were too many people photographing in an area even when I was first on the scene. . . I have been the only photographer asked to move their vehicle and forced to park over 1/4 mile away. . . These are some of the experiences I have had in the

My Instagram feed is completely split right now. H My Instagram feed is completely split right now. Half of it is full of people going about their daily lives and routines, as if nothing other than Covid (and that's huge, and has its own suffering and pain that goes with it) has happened, and the other half is people waking up, standing up, showing their solidarity with those that have been and are currently being oppressed. I stand on that side. #blacklivesmatter #justiceforgeorgefloyd #icantbreathe
