# Photo Journey They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I have 250,000 pictures, so this should be an interesting section. **Photo Journey** is my life told one photograph at a time. Each entry begins with an image, a few lines setting the scene, and then my own reflection on what I remember and what the moment came to mean. Every entry is threaded to the livestreams I was broadcasting at the time, to my writing, and to the places in the wiki where it happened. Browse every published entry, by year and by place, in the [[collections/Photo Journey|Photo Journey Collection]]. ## Latest entries The newest entries by the date the photo was taken. Every entry is in the [[collections/Photo Journey|Photo Journey Collection]].  - **June 26, 2026: [[photo journey/2026-06-26 - Inside the United Lodge of Theosophists in Los Angeles|Inside the United Lodge of Theosophists in Los Angeles]]** · A book-lined room at the United Lodge of Theosophists in Los Angeles, the night I came to see Antigone. -
