Across the country in 2 weeks for Bloomberg’s Bus to November project


From Aug. 1 to 14, 2016, I traveled with Bloomberg reporter Esmé E. Deprez, I traveled by Greyhound bus from Philadelphia to Los Angeles, speaking to people we met along the way about their lives and the upcoming election. The final dispatch posted on Friday, and you can scroll down for the rest of our work over the trip. You can also see me in a short video by Griffin Hammon that aired on Bloomberg/MSNBC's With All Due Respect on Aug. 12, 2016 (starting at about 39:30; also available on youtube and embedded below).

I've never done anything quite like this, so it was a bit of an experiment. I'm particularly proud of the work I did and also that it accompanies such excellent reporting by Esmé. The work will hopefully serve as an addition to the work I've been doing on the 2016 election, broadening it's scope to look at voters across the country. For more photos, especially take a look at our post from Denver featuring short interviews and portraits I did with voters in Lexington, Nebraska, and on the bus from there to Denver, or the post from Las Vegas.

Thanks as always to the jurors involved in selecting the exhibitions: Louise Clements (UK), Lea Vene (Croatia), Simon Norfolk (UK), Phillip Toledano (USA), Donald Weber (Canada), and Gillian Wearing (UK), and to the team working behind the scenes to put on such an ambitious event. I've already had a great experience working with Iva, Lea, Maja, and Marina, organizing the exhibition and my participation in the festival, and I'm looking forward to meeting the rest of the team.

I will attend the festival and hopefully do a talk or two about my work.

Two images included in ICP’s Winning the White House exhibition at Southampton Arts Center – Aug. 6 to Sept. 11, 2016


I'm excited to announce that two of my pictures, one of Hillary Clinton and one of Donald Trump, will be included in the International Center for Photography's exhibition "Winning the White House: From Press Prints to Selfies" at the Southampton Arts Center, opening Aug. 6, 2016.

It's really an honor to be included in this exhibition, which is curated by ICP's Susan Carlson and Claartje van Dijk. The show features work by Cornell Capa, Grey Villet, Elliott Erwitt, Stephen Crowley, Chris Buck, and many others, and examines presidential politics from the first televised debate between Kennedy and Nixon until now. Unforunately, I won't get to attend the opening or see the exhibition in person.

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.
