My friend Joel Meares and I interviewed former Mayor Ed Koch in his Manhattan office for a story on eating on the campaign trail for nyfoodchain.com. The Huffington Post picked it up as did the Columbia Journalist. It’s got another portrait.

While reporting for a story, I got to shoot anti-Ahmajinedad protests.  The Neturei Karta had a demonstration that really brought out a lot of anger in people.  This guy had a creative way of expressing it.

J.D. “Duke” Schecter had an unsuccessful run for the state legislature.
Joseph Sweeney didn’t make it to the U.S. House.


On election night, I covered the Republican viewing party. I hadn’t seen so many gloomy faces since riding The T in Boston after a Red Sox loss.
Even when the Republicans won something, very few people actually showed joy.

After the Republican viewing party had wound down, I wanted to see the Democrats jubilating and get some shots for myself, since my photo editor had covered their viewing party.  I went around town to see what I could find.
I was hoping to find people running around town and driving with flags out the window, but the streets were bare.  Only a few skaters yelling “Obamaaaaa!!!  Obamaaaa!!!” passed me.
