The Holy Land Experience
Last summer, I made a pilgrimage of sorts to a place I’d seen in a movie. I caught half of Bill Maher’s “Religulous” and saw a scene in which he interviews a man who plays Jesus at a theme park in Orlando called the Holy Land Experience. I was stupefied that such a place existed, [...]
CEO Severance for the Wall Street Journal
Last month, I shadowed Paul Joegriner for a story that ran on the front page of yesterday’s Wall Street Journal. Once again, they did a nice job with both the article and slideshow.
It’s becoming slightly redundant for me to say that I enjoyed my day following so and so around, because I always enjoy it. [...]
The Renna-McElrath Family for USA TODAY
I photographed Cathy Renna and Leah McElrath as they took their daughter Rosemary to school for a USA TODAY story about a bill before the Washington City Council that would allow same-sex couples to marry. Cathy and Leah have already been married to each other twice. The first time was in a religious ceremony [...]
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for PARADE Magazine
Photographing Secretary Clinton at the State Department is like observing a moose in the wild. You’re really hoping to see it do something interesting like get into a fight with a bear or go for a swim or don a top hat and perform a musical number- but mostly it just stands around grazing. Secretary [...]
Virginia Gubernatorial Candidate Bob McDonnell for USA Today
As I sit at my computer and write this post on election day eve here in Virginia, I find myself thinking about the importance of local politics. Voter turnout is likely to be a little lower this year than last. Without the glamor and excitement of a presidential election, folks just don’t get out to [...]
Car Columnist Joseph White for the Wall Street Journal
I came back early from a marvelous weekend at the PDN Expo in New York (where I picked up a few new secret weapons) to shoot a job for the Wall Street Journal. I woke up extra early to drive into DC to follow WSJ senior editor, automotive industry reporter and columnist Joseph White as [...]
Congressman Frank Kratovil for TIME
It’s rare that I get to shoot anything outdoors anymore but the other week, I got a call asking me to spend the day following freshman congressman Frank Kratovil around his district. It was almost entirely outdoors on a glorious day. I even got a sunburn.
Blue was definitely the color of the day and reporter [...]
White House for TIME
A few weeks ago, I was asked to show up at the White House to spend the day covering for another photographer who couldn’t make it for the obligatory pool coverage. I was more than happy to oblige, and thankfully I wasn’t thrown into the deep end. It was a slow day at La Casa [...]
Congressman Charles Rangel for TIME
I shot my first assignment for TIME Magazine back in July. They asked me to shoot a portrait of Congressman Charles Rangel (D-NY) in the morning and then follow him around for a few hours. To me, this is the best kind of assignment. You get to know your subject a little bit and engage [...]
