I'm back from a trip to Beijing covering the city's preparation for the 2008 Summer Olympics (my impression: they have a long way to go). A gallery of images from the story can be seen here and are available for immediate licensing.

In April, I've shot assignments for some great new clients including Thicket Magazine, the Fader, and Guideposts. I worked for a number of repeat clients including National Public Radio, Veja (a Brazilian news magazine), and POZ Magazine. Also, I wrote about my experiences covering the McCain campaign in South Carolina for the Digital Journalist.

Last newsletter, I mentioned a project I've been working on for the Guardian Weekend Magazine and I'm happy to announce it has finally been published. From December through March, I made a series of trips around the country photographing failed presidential candidates for Guardian's Weekend Magazine. The story took me from the frigid -25°F tundra of Mitchell, South Dakota in January, to a slightly more balmy portrait session with Bob Dole here in DC that lasted all of three minutes.

Ed Pilkington, the reporter on the story, did a wonderful job interviewing each candidate and his article can be read here.

You can see more photographs and a write-up of the experience on my blog.
