Is this my picture of the year?
Depends who you ask.
Life as a wire photog can be surprising. Sometimes it feels like the most downloaded pic is one you did on the fly. I have an affinity for business stories especially after 2020. This photo has been almost everywhere. An incredible Value - especially in Canada! (Can confirm, I’ve had one in Canada too)

Vice President Harris made a closely watched trip to the southern border, where she met with border agents and young migrants and doubled down on the need to focus on the reason people are making the journey to the U.S. from Mexico and Central America. Harris traveled to El Paso, Texas, her first trip to the U.S.-Mexico border as vice president and her first since President Biden announced she would lead the administration’s efforts to stem the flow of migrants to the border from Northern Triangle nations. While Harris did not make any policy announcements or urge migrants not to make the trip to the U.S. as she did during a recent trip to Guatemala, she declared her border appearance productive while keeping the focus on the administration's broader goals.
