A couple weeks ago I had the opportunity to photograph U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez during a visit to Indianapolis for the U.S. Department of Labor. The trip included visits to three separate locations in the city, which made for an extremely fast-paced day for me. It really kept me on my toes for the day, but it was a fun experience.

Dyngus Day politicking in South Bend

I spent most of Monday covering Dyngus Day politicking in South Bend. I’m not Polish or from South Bend so this was my first Dyngus Day experience. The day marks the unofficial start to the campaign season and drew several statewide candidates to the city. It was a long day, but a fun day as I got to shoot quite a bit of politicking amid smells of cooking Polish sausages.
