It’s been a busy month but June ended up being a good one. Processing dreams not seen, taking care of dear ones, finding joy in the nooks and crannies. It’s there if you look for it.

Put in the work. Not every day will deserve it. In fact I’m frequently disappointed. I never regret the work though. I’m worth it. You are too.

Took the home team to see the peonies at Linwood Gardens. Then helped pack 76 Mobjects records and some CDs and shirts. And then everyday, I’m reminded that I found my person. Lucky.

Material Objects’ third release and first full-length LP is dropping on June 6. Worked hard on this over the last year. Tour coming up that will take us from Ithaca to Knoxville and back. Come out! Would love to see you. More here: materialobjects.bandcamp.com

My dear Lankum, a beer with Nathan Salsburg (longtime curator of the Alan Lomax archive), and kids in a tree. It’s a good life.

This administration, in greed, pride, and ignorance, removes a significant voice in our country’s access to information, knowledge, and heritage. Absurd and shameful.

Kudos, Dr. Hayden. Thanks for your service. And that fist bump last Spring.

Spending the day immersed in digital asset management at MoMA with GLAM colleagues from around the country (and my friend Erwin from Amsterdam). #DAS2025 #AMIA #CCAAA

A good day. 1. See you soon, ARSC colleagues! Thanks to the National Recording Preservation Foundation for your sponsorship. 2. Take time to listen to your colleagues. It matters. 3. Feel the burn.

Very privileged to know most of the authors from of this recent publication in the Journal of Digital Media Management. And I feel very special that they mailed a copy to me. Thanks, friends. And amazing work, AVMPI At Smithsonian Institution!

Over Winter break, I overhauled my personal digital photo archive, migrating libraries and metadata. It was fun, and wow - the memories…

I had the immense pleasure and honor of interviewing Ambassador Andrew Young several times in the late 2000s. He could not have been more generous to us young filmmakers. Invited us to his home, gave us gifts, and eventually brought us on a trip to Kenya. I see a theme here. #carterfuneral #kindness

Wishing you all a wonderful, gratifying 2025. That could mean so many different things to so many people. Whatever it is, I hope you find it.
