I’ve gotten kind of far behind on posting new work, but I’ll try to catch up on it over the next week or so. In the meantime here’s a #shotoniPhone snap of the #gorgeous Shen from a relaxing socially distanced afternoon on a closed golf course that’s been co-opted into a park. I met Shen on a plane years ago and it’s been so wonderful hanging out with her over the last year. She’s one of the smartest, most accomplished, most interesting people I’ve ever met.

Julián Castro dropped his bed for the Democratic presidential nomination today. I photographed him a couple times during his campaign and found him to be down to earth, easy to talk to, and seemed to genuinely like interacting with the public. These were taken while #OnAssignment for @ajcnews the day before the Democratic presidential debate in November. Atlanta, Georgia.

More from last week. #PeteButtigieg visited #MorehouseCollege ahead of the fifth Democratic presidential debate as part of his ongoing outreach to black voters. While Buttigieg is polling highly in Iowa and New Hampshire, a recent poll in #SouthCarolina showed him at 0% among black voters. Shot #onassignment for @reuters. #Atlanta, #Georgia.

Happy gobble gobble everyone! I wandered around #MexicoCity with Heather. We ate tacos and drank líquados and saw #Santa f*****g a Christmas tree. And also a suicidal #unicorn. I know not everyone reading this spending time with their families or has positive memories associated with holidays like this but regardless of how you spend the day I hope you enjoy it and do what you need to take care of yourselves.
