Covering the RNC in Cleveland – 17-22 July 2016

Worst Party to be exhibited at Kaunas Photo Festival in Lithuania


I'm very excited to finally be able to announce that my project, This is the worst party I've ever been to., will be exhibited at the Kaunas Photo Festival in Lithuania in September. This all started after meeting festival founder Mindaugas Kavaliauskas at the New York Times Portfolio Review earlier this year. We were both there as photographers to be reviewed, but got to talking between portfolio reviews.

It also happens that I'll be in Europe around the time of the festival, so I will be able to attend the first days of the festival and will give some sort of lecture about the work. Details on that are yet to be determined, but I'll post when I know.

Traveling to the LUMIX Festival in Hanover, Germany


I'll be in Hanover, Germany, this week for the LUMIX Festival for Young Photojournalism. My project, This is the worst party I've ever been to., will be exhibited alongside phenomenal photojournalism from around the world. I'll be giving a talk at my exhibition at 11am on Thursday, June 16, 2016, and also speaking to groups of university students. Here is some information about where the festival is held.

If you happen to be there, say hello!

Named one of the 2016 Magenta Foundation Flash Forward winners


I'm very excited to announce that I've been selected as one of the 2016 winners in the Magenta Foundation's annual Flash Forward competition. I submitted work from my project, This is the worst party I've ever been to. The rest of the award winners are a diverse and talented group of photographers, and it's an honor to be mentioned alongside them.

Special congratulations to my friends Daniella Zalcman (that's her work in the screenshot here) and Jake Naughton, for winning the Bright Spark Award and the annual grant, respectively. Both wholeheartedly deserve the recognition and it couldn't have happened to nicer people.

Thanks also to all the jurors involved around the world in selecting the winners.

Reading the Pictures analyzes my MSNBC After Party coverage


Last week, Reading the Pictures analyzed some of my photos of the MSNBC White House Correspondents Association Dinner after party. It's a good read on the pictures. Reading the Pictures have looked at my pictures a few times in the past, and it's always interesting to see what they have to say.

Here you can see all of the pictures MSNBC published.

Tearsheet: White House Correspondents Association Dinner after party for MSNBC


Last week, I traveled to Washington DC to cover MSNBC's White House Correspondents Association Dinner after party for MSNBC. It was a surreal and exhausting experience, but I'm really happy with the edit that MSNBC published. Thanks to Amy and Rebecca and the rest of the MSNBC photo team for the assignment and edit, and to Diana and Rachel and the rest of the crew on the ground that made access to the party a breeze.

And here's a 360 moving still image of me at the end of the night (about 3:30am) and thinking about the prospect of editing pictures to get published a few hours later.
