A couple weeks ago while I was in New York for the New York Times Portfolio Review, I got in touch with Bryan Formhals. We'd known each other through blogging about photography for years, but had never met in person. He's been doing a great podcast for the past couple years called The LPV Show and asked if I'd be interested in recording an episode. I had a pretty tight schedule with meetings, but the guys graciously got together on a Friday night and we talked about my recent political work and book dummy, blogging about photography, and a couple of great photobooks, My America by Christopher Morris and Will Steacy's Deadline.

You can listen to the podcast on soundcloud or embedded on my website here. And on The LPV Show tumblr, there are some pictures of my book dummy, some behind the scenes pictures from when we recorded the podcast, and a few other posts about my work and the other books we discussed.

This was my first time ever doing any sort of interview like this, so I was a bit nervous. A big thanks to Bryan, Tom Starkweather, and Brett A. Davis, for making the process so fun and easy and for giving me the opportunity to talk about the work.

And thanks for the Mexican food!!

Thanks again to Rachel at the Globe and Mail for picking up a few of my images of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for a weekend double-truck in Canada's The Globe and Mail newspaper in the April 2, 2016, edition. I just love the way this spread came out. The pictures accompany a phenomenal article by Cathal Kelly: Through the looking glass: the many faces of Trump and his fans.

The paper has printed some of my images for previous pieces on Hillary Clinton and Trump.

Thanks again to Shaminder at Newsweek for picking up a couple pictures for the March 18, 2016, issue of the magazine. This time, it was a couple pictures of the MIT's Space Propulsion Laboratory's nanosatellites, originally shot for the Chronicle of Higher Education. It's always nice to find a new use for old pictures, especially in a big spread like above. The two pictures were also used online alongside the article, Cubesats Will Take Over the Skies, Thanks to Electric Propulsion.

And here's something funny about the big picture accompanying the online article. I needed something common and small to show the scale of the device and there wasn't anything in the lab that really seemed right. So I dug into my pocket and found a quarter and my house key, figuring those would both give a recognizable sense of scale. That's how my house key ended up being in a picture published by Newsweek.

Newsweek also recently published a handful of pictures from my project on the New Hampshire presidential primary.

I'm very excited to announce that one of my pictures from my project on the New Hampshire primary has been included in American Photography 32 as a Selected winner. The image, of Bernie Sanders speaking from behind a podium in Littleton, New Hampshire, will be included in the annual book published in November. In 2014, I had an image included among the Chosen winners of American Photography 30.

The jury for this year's awards was: Anna Goldwater Alexander, Director of Photography, WIRED; Sarah Filippi, Director of Photography, Fast Company; Genevieve Fussell, Senior Photo Editor, The New Yorker; Kelli Grant, Photo Editor, Yahoo News; Jennifer Miller, Photo Director, Condé Nast Traveler; Florence Nash, Associate Photo Editor, People; and Emily Shornick, Associate Photo Art Director, Tory Burch.

A couple months back, Joerg Colberg asked if I'd be interesting in talking about my project, This is the worst party I've ever been to, for a feature at CPH Magazine. I've been a long-time reader of the site and of course jumped at the chance to speak about the project with Joerg. Thanks to Joerg for the great conversation. It is an honor to be featured.

A big thank you to Paul at Time magazine for his continued support for my work throughout the New Hampshire primary. He hired me for the final two days of the primary to follow around last-place Republican nominee Jim Gilmore, the former governor of Virginia. It was a quirky but fascinating story, and I'm really happy with how it turned out.
