We loved working on this one! It’s not every assignment that you get to drive across a 22-mile ice road to reach your destination and spend time at a one-room schoolhouse. Thanks for making this all happen Donna!

Thanks Elena! We have loved documenting Suni and her drive to compete while making it look so graceful.

It’s still hard to believe that international news is happening blocks from our home. In a matter of days this corner and the killing of George Floyd has sparked a passion we have never seen in our city before.

Not even sure what to say beyond we are on the brink of tears. The camera is a wonderful shield from the emotions of what you’re experiencing. Only when you take the camera from your eye does the severity of what you’re seeing creep into every crevice of your aching soul. 😢

Loved photographing Ben for this story on the struggles of small businesses. Anyone that is game for poking their head through the roof of a car makes our job easy! Thanks again Sarina!

Funerals in the time of COVID-19. Steve and his wife Lauren say their final goodbyes to Steve’s brother, Ron. The family decided to go ahead with the small burial and hope to have a proper burial once the coronavirus has passed.

These open spaces look so inviting right now. We had a blast exploring the Sandhills region of Nebraska for this travel story. We can still almost feel the grasshoppers bouncing at our feet as we explored the pasture on this family ranch. Photographed for Midwest Living.

We love when commissions blend seamlessly with our personal projects. There are no better examples of this than a bunch of our recent NY Times assignments that always have an element of exploration to them. Outtakes that also fit seamlessly with our personal project Flyover.

Jordyn, 19, raised as a Jehovah’s Witness, had been told by her parents not to vote. She voted partly out of rebellion to her upbringing but also out of pride as an adult making her own decisions. It wouldn’t have been the same doing it absentee. Photographed for @washingtonpost

We loved this assignment with Amber. Not to mention it was back when life was really simple and we took socializing with the people we photographed for granted. It was a dreary January day so it was fun to play in the studio to replicate some warm sun wh… ift.tt/2UfZUYr
