39 years is a long time to know a person outside your own family. When I met Phil I was a boy and now I am, ostensibly, a man. He has watched me go through it all. And he has been there for me. This is a portrait of my best friend.

He stood beside me on the field when we graduated high school. Which is where I stood yesterday, watching my own daughter graduate. We both have children who are recent graduates. We’re both dads watching our children bloom.

A good friendship is priceless and I have several of them. I am wealthy beyond calculation. And I have photographed all of my friends, or most of them. And in each photo is a lifetime of gratitude and memories. When I look at this photo of Phil, in front of the Fourth of July bunting in Nicasio, it reminds me of how utterly lucky I am to be living at this place and at this time. I’m not overly patriotic. And I know we’ve done/are doing some fucked up things but I love this country.

Our friends are our most treasured assets. They are the family that you choose. And though he’s rarely on Facebook I say to you Phil, thank you. For everything. You are my brother.

    What is it that is hidden within us? It seems as though we can see it, but we can’t see it. We can feel it.
