Named after my pioneering 1994 travel blog, Big World will introduce you to fascinating people immersed in the arts and sciences, and reflect on the personal challenges introduced by my new traveling companion: Parkinson's Disease.
I'm a Oakland, CA-based photojournalist, author, and sometime stage performer. My seven books include Shopping for Buddhas, The Size of the World, and 108 Beloved Objects.
Whatever I write about, whether travel, creativity, relationships, Buddhist spirituality, parenting or the joy of getting outside, I’m writing about the human experience, the 10,000 joys and the 10,000 sorrows, this peculiar journey we all share.
