♦ Hi, I’m the deputy editor for climate and environment at The New York Times , as well as a photographer and former foreign correspondent based out of India and Hong Kong for The Wall Street Journal . I hail from a place called Starve Hollow and I sincerely hope that I am friendlier than the photo makes me look.
♦ As a reporter I’ve written about the massacre of the royal family in Nepal, trains made out of bamboo in Cambodia and the 9/11 terrorist attacks from Pakistan. At both the Times and the Journal, projects I’ve edited have been recognized as finalists for the Pulitzer Prize. ♦ Nice words have been said by nice people from Boingboing , Human Rights Watch , the Annals of Improbable Research , the Museum of Modern Art and also planet Twitter .
♦ Once upon a time, a story I wrote about traffic jams in the Himalayas was passed around by the Dalai Lama.
