Brian at a college graduation, dressed in a cap and gown over a button-down shirt with a narrow blue neck tie. Around his neck is a lei made from carnations and daisies. In the background, there is blue sky and green trees. Wispy hair peeks out from under the cap and Brian sports a beard but no mustache.

Photograph of a mug sitting on a brown book. The mug is a shaped like a rectangular pipe and is white with a dark green rim and a Chinese character on the front. The design is similar to that of the green dragon tile in mahjong.
My friend, Karl Reyes, in 2018, doing a food tasting event for his Filipino cuisine concept restaurant, Sampalok. Karl’s head is bald and a pair of glasses adorn his bearded face. He’s wearing an indigo blue chef’s coat, with a single plastic glove on his right hand. This photo captures him mid-explanation.
