People all over the world are walking in protest and in hope right now. It's a beautiful thing, and it's even starting to transcend our political divides. I was so moved to see this video from my little hometown of Ashland, Virginia. Friend and fellow walker Garnette Cadogan wrote an exceptional essay about his experiences on foot as a Black man in America a few years ago.

"When historians pick up their pens to write the story of the 21st century, let them say that it was your generation who laid down the heavy burdens of hate at last and that peace finally triumphed over violence, aggression and war.

I'm slowly making my way through my massive backlog of photos from 2015 to the present. See below for the most recent posts; I'm currently working on September 11, 2015.

This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US . Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!
