The Palisades Fire burned over 25,000 acres (37 square miles), destroying large areas of the Pacific Palisades, Topanga and Malibu. It was only one of several fires in Southern California that was driven by extreme Santa Ana winds, some gusting to 100 mph. The Palisades fire itself was the third largest California wildfire ever, with more than a dozen deaths and at least 6,700 structures destroyed. The perfect storm.

Happy 78th birthday @kareemabduljabbar_33 We`re once again the same age! Caught him dunking during pre-game practice at the @uoregon in 1966. Because of him the @ncaa passed the "Alcindor Rule" that banned dunking from 1967-1976. Real joy killers. @ucla @cntrforcreativephoto @improvambassador @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @billfrakes @walteriooss @neilleiferphotography @mikebarnicle @j_macpost #lewalcindor #slamdunk #kareemabduljabbar @petesouzab

Schoolgirls in Karbala, Iraq, 15 years ago this week. Karbala is a holy city for Shi’ite Muslims and millions of them visit the Imam Husayn Shrine twice a year, rivaling Mecca as a place of pilgrimage. Taken with @canonusa EOS 5D Mark III and 100-400 lens. #canonusapro @cntrforcreativephoto @improvambassador @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @_katiemeili #karbala #iraq

Happy Birthday to Kim Bui, one of the bravest people on the planet, from me, Nick Ut and Jim Hornstein. We are fighting the good fight and appreciate your support. So glad you made it out alive. Thanks also to Naja Lockwood for your help and for making an honest and powerful film about the famous Eddie Adams photo and the collateral damage it caused.
