Fox ran an article calling me "pathetic" They asked me for a comment, which i provided, but they have not included. My response: "We all wore the uniform of our nation to protect each other’s right to an opinion. That’s theirs, and I have mine — that Tim Sheehy lied about

When I was first starting out in my photojournalism career, features at The Baltimore Sun was all I photographed. I covered all the concerts, festivals, and weird little Baltimore stories that were only found in the features department. What a sad, sad, sad direction this paper

I know many of you will roll your eyes at this, but that's OK; I wouldn't be in this field if I was afraid of being dunked on every now and then. When I first came to The Washington Post in 2017, I was extremely wary it would be too establishment for me. Too corporate. Too

I’ve seen a number of professional wire and newspaper photos of this event but one I see all over social media. It’s a really important thing to remember that context is huge. Showing the scale of this event with a tiny bit is enough & backlit is lovely, it removes distraction.

The The New York Times covered Trump’s "gig" at McDonald's in at least seven articles but missed this photo by Bucks County Herald freelance photographer Sara Pinkus. Pinkus, a retired bank manager who describes herself as a “photo enthusiast,” made the most telling image of the day.

Harvard did a 80-year study on what makes people happy. The conclusion: not money, fame or a splendid career. People are happiest when they have good relationships. Surrounded by people they love. Here is a 20 min talk that I recommend warmly: m.youtube.com/watch?v=8KkKuT…

Months ago Emily Green came to ProPublica with a tip that kidnappings in Mexico were happening at massive scale, right as the US pressured that country to stop migrants heading north. Read one family's account of being held in a chicken coop. propublica.org/article/immigr…

This iconic photo is now part of Iranian history, capturing the deep frustration of women with the regime—a powerful statement against repression.

I have been online too much this past week but I have to say that the Peanut development in our nations election for the highest office in the land is just mesmerizing and 2014 me would NOT have believed the course of events leading to it being a “thing.”

I took this picture in 2017 and I was up there the next day for the Women’s March. Had they gotten a permit to be on the mall it would have DWARFED Trump’s crowd. Trump hasn’t gotten more popular or led his party to a national win since then. This is his ceiling. He can’t win.
