Concord City Council

It’s been a minute.

I’ve been in New Hampshire for the past few months. At first it was just to photograph the primary,
spend time with Andrea… and to work on my Masters project. Still a long way to go on that third thing.

Near the end of February the Concord Monitor’s photo intern
landed a job and I happily accepted to fill in for the rest of the internship (late February until early May).

It’s been busy but good. Working and trying to find time to get a lot of work done on the book.

Either way, this is from a recent Concord City Council which a member of the council was reprimanded
for calling the police over a traffic ticket that had been issued to a friend.

Thanks for looking.

More soon,
Brad

And so it ends. Pack up the buses and the SUV’s, New Hampshire’s Primary is over.

As the week trudged on the facade continued to be built up. Faces behind tinted SUV windows. The higher the poll numbers the higher the security. Candidates visit diners and hold speeches. Rally this endorsement that. It seemed that the few who focused on New Hampshire voters didn’t even get a chance to see them through the swarm of media that followed them from SUV door to SUV door. Rooms filled with cameras, tame questions being shouted from behind microphones overshadowed the New Hampshire natives who came to meet the Primary contenders. Other candidates moved their focus to a nationwide campaign and were barely seen unless they were in a perfectly lit room with security sweeps aimed to flush out small handfuls of Occupy protestors that had infiltrated the amber waves of supporters.

The first day when things really got busy here in New Hampshire. With Iowa in the wind the politicians are all ramping things up in The Granite State.

Tagged along with the wonderful Andrea Morales and John Tully of the Concord Monitor to a town hall event that Romney was holding in a VFW in Hudson, NH.

on hold / keeping close

It was really nice to have some time between completing the internship at The Virginian-Pilot and moving to Concord, New Hampshire. A little hectic and a whole lot of driving, but well worth the time and miles to visit family back home (Illinois) and spend time in Ohio / West Virginia.

After knowing Travis for over two years with the usual breaks in the summertime it was tough to say, see you soon, in a more lasting sense. I know I’ll be back in West Virginia in the near future but the distance and uncertainty surrounding when it will be possible makes this move feel much different than leaving for a summer and knowing I’ll be able to visit in a short three months.

My last visit was back in November. Focusing more on enjoying the time and saying goodbye, I didn’t photograph much but it’s tough not to take any pictures during a two day stay. Here are just a few from my time with Travis and his newly formed family.

For now, things are on hold, I’m working on designing / writing (more) / editing the Adrift book and giving my hand at freelancing. Keeping close through phone calls and updates from West Virginia. I’m really excited for my time here and opportunities that may come. But, I’m always looking forward to the next time I can head to West Virginia for a few days to catch up with Travis and his family for longer than phone calls every so often.
Best,
Brad
