In a recent assignment for NBC News, I went to Southwestern Colorado to visit the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe Farm & Ranch, who are feeling the effects of years of drought. Read the article here and see more of my photographs from this trip.
Covid Vaccines on the Navajo Nation in NYT & WSJ

The Washington Post: Love & Loneliness in the Time of the Coronavirus
To be given an assignment with absolute creative freedom, especially during this confining period, was a gift. I took out my 4x5 camera and expired instant film and spent two days making these images. Take time to dig into all the artists' work, beautiful diverse views of love and the pandemic from around the world. Read here
My tiny apartment is filled with objects that remind me of people I care about and memories of different places and times. Using these objects and my limited space, I created scenes dedicated to them and the confusing emotions we’re feeling under quarantine.
As an introvert and someone who’s been relatively calm during this period of isolation, the process of photographing confronted me with my deep longing for these loved ones and my anxiety for their well-being.
The New Normal
1/ Bundle up head to toe, plus mask & gloves
2/ Pack almost nothing in your backpack cause that’s less stuff to disinfect later
3/ Lysol the hell out of rental car (get Lysol migraine)
4/ Keep 6 feet away from people!
5/ Purell, purell, purell
6/ When home, go straight to laundry room in the basement. Strip & start laundry, then run through the building to your apartment in your undies, shoes, & backpack (this is the one fun part)
7/ Dump backpack outside front door, jump in shower immediately
8/ Be paranoid you forgot to disinfect something the rest of the night

Bloomberg: Women Desert Trading Floors as Bias Blocks Path to Management
For Bloomberg Markets, I photographed Catherine Flax, former Americas head of foreign exchange and commodities at BNP Paribas, for a story about why she and other women left Wall Street. It's always a pleasure to meet with women who've made multiple successful careers and pushed over hurdles that many of their males colleagues don't face. Read the article
Recent work for Bloomberg Business
Photographs I've made over the last few months for Bloomberg Business have appeared in CNBC, Barron's, Bloomberg Pursuits, & the Wall Street Journal, among other publications.
The New Borderwall
Yesterday I photographed the new US/Mexico border wall in Santa Teresa, New Mexico for Bloomberg Business. Driving down empty roads for over an hour with no sign of where to go, we saw a couple longhorns and a little dirt road. We turned left, drove another couple miles, and finally found the wall. It feels imposing, out of place, arbitrary. Birds fly between the diamond slats. It’s quiet, almost silent, but with the strange sense that there are likely people nearby.
Bloomberg Week In Pictures
