With all of the land, possessions, aspirations, ideals and gods that we human beings worship, none are as promised or as sacred as the one we call mother. #thailand #mothers #bangkok #family

When you bring that Muay Thai spirit with a fighter's mindset... #MuayThai #InnerCircle #BJJ #Fight

I believe in love, first, above all, and always. Love begins with choice. (And to be clear, I see the overturning of Roe Vs. Wade as a legalized hate crime against women.)

Three generations of family, culture, and love. Sometimes life really is beautiful. #MammaHai #Family #mothers #Daughters #sisters #culture #banhmi #pho #saltcitymarket

I wonder if moments like this ever cease to exist. Maybe they’re a moment in time, put out into the universe, that continues to live beyond our own time on this earth. Maybe that's the only thing we really leave behind after we're gone. Maybe it's the everything, we're meant to.

“We all have inner demons to fight. Without a way to conquer them, life can become a tragedy. For me, martial arts is the salve. The clarity it brings, humility, and challenges have all shaped me into a better father, spouse, and overall man.” -Jason #MuayThai #JiuJitsu #Bjj

When I meet people like Vanessa, it reminds me that communication through creativity is like oxygen. And there are people out there with the power to resuscitate your soul. "I'm trying to go with the flow through practice, in life and in music." -Vsteeze #Music #Artist #Vsteeze

I can't wait to experience how this next generation of photographers see. It will be a beautiful perspective, I have no doubt ❤ #nslc #Syracuse #northside #newamericans #photographers #littlevisionaries

Whatever needs to be done so that moments like this cease to exist, is more important than land, tradition, religion and money. So much love to the families and friends of those lost, who continue to live in this world, without them. #memorialday Photo by John Moore

I kind of love these two, I won't lie. I'm going to refer to them as H&H, short for Hassina & Hamdi from here on out. They're pretty much the Thelma & Louise of Syracuse, without the fugitive status :P #Besties #Hassina #Hamdi #Sisters

Can you imagine making someone this happy? Can you imagine being this happy? #syracuse #saltcitymarket #talent #love #downtown

When you're rocking that orange, graduation, SU glow. "Everything ends. And so our story begins." -Jehan | Class of '22 #SyracuseUniversity #graduation #Mashallah

When I photograph couples, I often sense the amount of love and connection that exists between those two people. It’s simply in the energy that exists between the two of them. So much love to these two and the new life they are bringing into this world. #Love #BabyShower #Couples

So much love to the family, friends and colleagues of slain journalist, Shireen Abu Akleh. You will not be forgotten. Your name will be written in the stars and shine down on the land, your land, that you spent decades of your life giving voice to. #ShireenAbuAkleh 📸Al Jazeera

I've only had a few Asian friends. It's not their race that has mattered to me, but rather our shared experiences in this life. Sometimes love and trauma meet at a crossroads and while being an inconvenient fact, it can also make for powerful friendships and unexpected truths.

"I embrace this day with all my heart." -Kevin C. #Saltmarket #Syracuse #Sunglasses
