The 2020 New Hampshire Primary for Time
June 15, 2020

Democratic presidential candidate and former South Bend, Ind., mayor Pete Buttigieg takes to the stage to speak at his Primary Night rally at Nashua Community College in Nashua, New Hampshire, on Tue., Feb. 11, 2020. Democratic presidential candidate and Vermont senator Bernie Sanders was projected to win the New Hampshire Democratic Primary, but Buttigieg came in a close second.

I covered the two final days of New Hampshire's 2020 First in the Nation Primary for Time magazine, focusing mostly on the campaigns of Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren. Writing now, a few months later, it's hard to believe that Joe Biden abandoned the state before the votes were cast and also mind-boggling to see these huge crowds of people almost exactly a month before the pandemic shut everything down.

Huge thanks to Paul and Kim asking me to contribute to the magazine's coverage. I worked with them to cover the 2019 Iowa State Fair, as well, and it's always such a privilege and honor to have their support.

Asked what would make the White House great again, Mulholland said, "Put a Democrat in the White House." Mulholland said that the Tuesday primary vote would clear the field. "On Wednesday a lot will be suspending their campaigns. 'Spend more time with their families.' That's what they all say. You know what I say? If they wanted to spend more time with their family they wouldn't be in politics."

Elise Robinson at the Broad Institute for Spectrum News
May 15, 2020

Elise Robinson, seen here in her home with daughter Claire Byron, age 5, in Wellesley, Massachusetts, on Wed., March 11, 2020, is an assistant professor of epidemiology at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and an institute member of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. Robinson say she likes to be surrounded by plants when she works, and she works from home one or two days a week. She is also an affiliated faculty member with the Analytic and Translational Genetics Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital. From the Broad Institute website, Robinson's lab "uses techniques from statistical genetics and epidemiology to study how common and rare genetic risk factors for severe neuropsychiatric disorders may differ, and develops approaches for examining these questions in large samples." She is currently the lead of a massive neurodevelopment study in Africa that aims to study populations underrepresented in previous neurodevelopment studies.

Politics and potatoes at the Iowa State Fair for Time
October 9, 2019

For Time magazine, I spent 5 days at the Iowa State Fair in August, covering the candidates at the Political Soapbox and the chaos of the fair, from champion potatoes to the accordion contest. It was an absolute dream assignment (well...except for the heat and humidity!) just wandering around finding interesting people to talk to and photograph. You can see Time's edit on the magazine's website: Potatoes and Politics: See Photos From the 2019 Iowa State Fair. This will be a vital part of my ongoing coverage of the 2020 election.

Huge thanks go to editors Paul Moakley, Katherine Pomerantz, and Kim Bubello, for the support and for the thoughtful edit.

Gurugram’s evening commute by rickshaw, car, bicycle, and foot

Last year I spent a little time in Gurugram, a large city bordering Delhi. Gurugram (also known as Gurgaon) is a financial and tech hub and also connected to Delhi by metro, so residents make the daily commute either within the city or further afield by rickshaw, bus, car, bicycle, subway, and foot (and often a combination of a few of those options). You can see all methods of transportation in use in these images, a typical evening commute at HUDA City Centre in Gurugram.

As ride-sharing apps like Uber and Ola break into the Indian market, a crucial step has been integrating rickshaws and cash payments as vehicle and payment choices within the apps. From 2016 to 2017, auto rickshaw rides hailed by internet apps increased by 250% (an increase in more than 13 million rides in one year), and as Uber enters the market in 2018, the number of rides is expected to increase even more.

Pete Buttigieg’s rise for New York Magazine
August 9, 2019

Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg greets people, takes selfies, and signs autographs, after speaking at a campaign event at the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester, New Hampshire, USA, on Fri., Apr. 5, 2019. The venue was filled to capacity about an hour before the candidate's arrival, so Buttigieg delivered an impromptu speech to those denied entry outside the museum before the official event. Buttigieg is the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and was widely considered a long-shot candidate until his appearance in a CNN town hall in March 2019 which catapulted his campaign to prominence and substantial donations.

The venue was filled to capacity about an hour before the candidate's arrival, so Buttigieg delivered an impromptu speech to those denied entry outside the museum before the official event. Buttigieg is the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and was widely considered a long-shot candidate until his appearance in a CNN town hall in March 2019 which catapulted his campaign to prominence and substantial donations. Coursey says of the haircut, "It was a crazy idea...Luckily it's a short name." She had a Sam Flynt of the West Main Barbershop in Vernon, Conn., shave the design the day before. Coursey says she started supporting Buttigieg about a month and a half earlier. ""He's such a different candidate. I kind of fell for him. I wanted to vote for a woman. I'm all in for Pete!"

On assignment with New York Magazine, I spent a couple days following South Bend, Ind., mayor Pete Buttigieg on his first major visit to New Hampshire just as his campaign reached national prominence following a CNN Town Hall with the candidate. With no access and only two scheduled events, the work was fast-paced and unpredictable. The end result was the cover story for the April 14-28, 2019, issue of the magazine, and accompanied Olivia Nuzzi's wonderful profile of Mayor Pete.

Thanks to Marvin Orellana and Jody Quon at New York for the wonderful assignment!

More images of Pete Buttigieg are available at my online archive.

Patient portraits in studio

I was commissioned by pharmaceutical company Foundation Medicine to produce a variety of imagery for their rebranding. The client needed studio portraits of patients, on-location portraits of employees, and lifestyle images of patients at home, all for a variety of uses by the brand. Weeks of planning resulted in a handful of shoots that wouldn't have happened without a phenomenal team helping behind the scenes.
