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.

Fifty years ago today I made this photo of a little Cambodian refugee girl in Phnom Penh. I’ve always been haunted by the image . It is a bigger reflection of a world without hope inhabited by so many children like her. Unfortunately it seems like things have gotten worse on our fair planet these days, not better. Three weeks after this moment Cambodia fell to the Khmer Rouge, and a dark shadow spread over the country for more than three years, with millions killed by the murderous communist regime. I have no reason to doubt that this little girl was among them. @cntrforcreativephoto @improvambassador @nickkennerly @j_kennerly @j.a.k._ @_katiemeili @chao_time @helenhunt @petesouza @worldpressphoto @pulitzerprizes @utnicky @raulroa @johnrodphotography @mikebarnicle @wapokp @samdoesntgibbsashit @

Weird not confined to Hollywood, this in Studio City. @cntrforcreativephoto
Fantastic lunch with Nicholas Kristof, Sheryl WuDunn, Doug Tunnell, James Kennerly, Melissa Mills, and Charles Jennings (who took this). Tunnell and I went to West Linn High School together; like me, he had a career as a war correspondent, and unlike me, he started a world-class winery! Brick House Winery.
