Last month I had the opportunity to photograph Richard Welch, a retired U.S. Army colonel, for a story in The Wall Street Journal about the U.S. government’s delay in processing visas for Iraqis who assisted Welch and other American troops during the war. With the rise of the Islamic State and other factions hostile to the United States, these Iraqis and their families now find themselves as targets as they wait years for visas to enter the U.S.
Retired U.S. Army Col. Richard Welch speaks to a colleague as they eat at an off-campus Turkish restaurant near campus on Thursday, Feb. 26, 2015, in Bloomington, Ind. Welch is a doctoral student in Law and Democracy at the Center for Constitutional Democracy at the IU Maurer School of Law. The only thing on the wall in his shared office is a tourist map of Iraq from 2008. During his time serving in Iraq, Welch relied on several Iraqis to build local support for the U.S. mission. Now the lives of those Iraqis remain in danger as they wait years for visas to enter the U.S. Welch has filed letters of support and says he is ashamed the administration has failed to resettle thousands of those who helped save American and Iraqi lives.

This past weekend was the Indiana News Photographers Association annual contest here in Bloomington. For the second year in a row, I organized the contest. It was a crazy busy weekend, but I had the chance to snap a few photos along the way.
