It’s been a couple of years since I’ve written a news story, but a piece I worked on for the The New York Times published today (my first byline in the Times!).
It’s a story I pitched about an e-sports tournament down in Newnan, Ga. that took place a little over a week ago. Normally, this would unlikely be a news story. But in the reality that coronavirus has dealt us, with nearly all sporting events postponed or cancelled, any sliver of competition offers solace.
The full impact of coronavirus has yet to be felt, but the financial damage to the airline industry has been staggering. To get a better look at how Delta is responding to the quickly changing reality of a world facing a pandemic, The Washington Post sent me to Delta’s headquarters and Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. You can read the full story here.

As we start a new year, I’m taking a look back at 2018 and sharing my favorite images. It was an amazing year, and I’m continually reminded of how lucky I am to make a living taking pictures. I’ve gone through everything I shot over the past 12 months, and narrowed it down to 25 photographs. They are presented here in chronological order, and include sports, political assignments and personal stories, as well as a few previously unpublished images from my personal and commercial work. Where possible, links are provided.
I am so honored to have a photograph (above) in the gallery, “YEAR ONE: A Visual Reflection of the First Year of the Trump Presidency,” which opened on Jan. 31 and runs through Feb. 9. It is a collaboration between Redux Pictures and SVA BFA Photography, and features the work of Redux Pictures, VII, Noor and The New York Times photographers. You can check it out at SVA’s 2nd Floor Gallery at 214 East 21st Street. [Read more…] about Part of gallery sponsored by Redux and the School of Visual Arts
Today, on the eve of celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, I worked as part of a team of New York Times journalists covering services at African-American churches around the country. We talked to churchgoers and pastors, and photographed services to get a sense of how the black community is reacting to President Trump’s recent comments about Haiti, El Salvador, and certain African nations.
