The amount of stoked I am to have images I made for @wired back in the fall appear in Wired Japan’s @wired_jp print edition does not match the poor quality of this video. Also, the design is beautiful!? The weight of the paper is choice!
A couple of the other photos shown here by @lnweatherspoon and @skyebattles
Rainy day recollection from an assignment for CNN about Scott Janssen, a Chapel Hill-based hospice social worker who, over the course of his 33 year-long career, has encountered spiritual end-of-life experiences and deathbed visitations. All of this has led the former atheist-existentialist to embrace a new vision of life and what happens after.
Images I made in January for a ProPublica story about the election for a seat on the North Carolina Supreme Court—the only 2024 election in the U.S. yet to be finalized. I thought by the time I got around to posting these that the issue would have been resolved… alas.
There have been many turns, moves, decisions, and appeals along the way, but as it stands today (I think), the democrat and NC Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs still leads Jefferson Griffin, a republican NC Court of Appeals Judge, by 734 votes. Since November, Griffin has been trying to get thrown out thousands of votes, most recently targeting “just” those of military service members and overseas voters (and, before, those of citizens residing in populous counties with a large number of black and brown residents).
These photos depict a community meeting in New Bern where concerned citizens gathered to learn about the situation and organize to fight it, a student-led effort at Duke University to encourage students to check whether their vote was being affected, and portraits of voters whose ballots Griffin was attempting to have disqualified.
