It is hard to walk into the same scene over and over and try to come up with something different. And something different, at least for someone competing with Getty Images or the Associated Press, is [...]
And You Thought It Was Glamorous
Yep. This is how it usually works when covering political photo-ops. We show up early. We get set. We wait. They are usually late. We usually have a pretty good amount of freedom on Capitol Hill. But then there are the quick photo sprays that are pretty much shooting them as they stand there. What [...]

“Presidential” Visit
Covering Capitol Hill means always trying to find something “different” to make a photo. The repetitiveness of chasing politicians, shooting hearings and press conferences can get to be a bit dry.
