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.

The Globe and Mail have again printed a big spread of my political pictures in their weekend edition. Last time, it was focused on Trump's campaign, and this time it's all Hillary Clinton. The pictures appeared in the March 5, 2016, edition of the paper. Thanks again to Rachel at the Globe and Mail for such a great spread!

Thanks to Shaminder and the rest of the crew at Newsweek for picking up a handful of my pictures from the New Hampshire primary of Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. The magazine published images across 8 pages in the Feb. 26, 2016, to accompany an article comparing the two candidates' careers in the Senate. You can find the article online: Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are more alike than you think.

Also cool to share the article online with John Tully, who had a picture on the Table of Contents of the issue, as well.

An odd side-note: I've taken so many pictures for this project, I had no memory of the lead image seen above of Clinton until Shaminder requested the image.

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.
