Stunned and saddened to read that Om Malik has passed:

Om Malik passed away on June 24, 2026, at Stanford Hospital after a long health journey with his heart. He was surrounded by family and friends.

My condolences to his loved ones. I’ve been reading Om’s blog for years and always enjoyed his insight, and especially his interweaved creative endeavors. His photography has always been striking. He’ll be missed.

Om’s most recent post was a personal note saying he was taking a break for some time to himself, and to read some mystery novels. I hope he enjoyed them. His final sign off:

Be well.
