I've just been accepted to the 4th Annual New York Times Portfolio Review in April 2016. I attended the second review, in 2014, and it was a great experience to meet both editors and fellow photographers. The freelancer's life is often a lonely one, so I'm looking forward to the opportunity to meet colleagues. I'm not sure I've ever been in a room packed with more talent than at the second review.

I'll primarily be showing work from my project on the New Hampshire primary, This is the worst party I've ever been to.

I've just received word that my project on the New Hampshire primary, This is the worst party I've ever been to, will be exhibited in the LUMIX Festival for Young Photojournalism in Hannover, Germany, from June 15-19, 2016. My work is among the 60 exhibitions that comprise the festival. There's a ton of good work included in the selection, including work by many friends, so I'm especially excited to be included among the exhibitions.

I'll post more details later as I get them, including which images will be shown. A few images submitted to the call for entry are included below.

A big thank you to Stephanie and the rest of the team at The New Republic for publishing a portfolio of my project on the New Hampshire primary in the March issue of the magazine. You can see the 6 pages above.

The magazine also did a great web piece with quite a few more pictures and a great layout.

On Feb. 2, I spent a day for Bloomberg Businessweek covering the presidential campaigns of Hillary Clinton, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and Chris Christie, as they traveled around New Hampshire. The images from the assignment appeared in the Feb. 8-14, 2016, issue. Businessweek used five images from the day; four on a spread on pages 24 and 25 (top), and one on the People/Companies Index on page 4 (left). The pictures accompanied an infographic on campaign advertising spending and a short article about Christie's efforts to save Atlantic City, though my images don't appear online.

A little behind the scenes info: I had just a quick stop at the Christie event that day and took a total of 30 pictures. I could have done that portion of the shoot on a single roll of film with room to spare!

Thanks to Jane for the great assignment! I'd been hoping to work with Businessweek on the campaign at some point during the NH primary, and I'm glad it finally came together.

Thanks to Melissa at Italy's Internazionale for contacting me to use a couple of my old pictures of Wal-Mart in China. If I remember correctly, the image from the second spread (at left) was taken during one of my first few weeks in China. Always nice to find new ways to use old work!

Thanks to Olivier and Chelsea and the rest of the crew at Time for including me in a list of "the best photographers covering the campaign on Instagram." I'm honored to be included among so many other great photographers, all of whom are worth following to get a unique perspective on the campaign process.

Time previously included two of my images from the campaign trail in their list of the Top 100 Photos of 2015.
