News Photography

Below is a sample of some of my news photography. Primarily I do protest journalism, however I do more tame photography as well. As a journalist who has covered protests in New York City, Oakland, Charlotte and Tampa Bay, I know how to find myself at the heart of a protest. And I am not afraid to get close to the action either. While other photojournalists stay in the barricaded media pens, I go where the protests go — and on at least one occasion the NYPD has arrested me for it!
