I will always be thankful for Om’s acerbic wit and unfailing kindness.

Om was an arbiter of taste. He had an unerring instinct for what mattered — whether in technology, fashion, photography, or conversation.

He was a teddy bear to those fortunate enough to know him.

Om was a prolific writer of remarkable discipline and clarity. His work is essential reading. He brought the same care to images that he brought to words. He was a thoughtful truth teller whose work only deepened over time. I always hear Om’s voice when I read his words.  I especially love his recent writing. Endlessly curious, he found beauty in the minimal.

Om was so funny. He had the best smile.

He was a comforter and a challenger.

Om created gravity. He was someone you wanted to be around. 

He will be profoundly missed.
