Je suis Charlie
I am both shocked and deeply saddened by the attacks on Charlie Hebdo. I mourn the loss of those 12 individuals–artists, employees, and police officers alike–and I stand by the French people in their commitment to freedom and creativity.
Nous sommes Charlie, je suis Charlie.

Happy Thanksgiving!
I just received "Living Pictures," a short film about my video portraits by Jakub Jahn. Enjoy!
