Michael Gerson’s Dec. 16, 2019 opinion column in The Washington Post featured one of my photos of President Trump from the most recent Army-Navy Game. I took the image during halftime of the game after Trump had crossed the field to sit among Naval Academy students for the third quarter of Navy’s eventual 31-7 victory in Philadelphia.

Trump’s locker room announcement featured by ESPN
One of the news headlines to come out of this year’s Army-Navy game was President Trump’s announcement that his policy change allowing service academy athletes to pursue professional sports careers was going into effect. I was lucky enough to be in Army’s locker room for the moment and one of the images was featured that afternoon on ESPN.com.
Trump photo featured in Sports Illustrated
It’s been a weird year, so of course Donald Trump’s visit to the LSU-Alabama game in November somehow earned me a surprise photo credit with Sports Illustrated. SI.com ran one of my portraits of the president on Nov. 9 in a piece about the crowd’s reaction to his presence at the game. The photo itself was from last December when …
Waterfalls, rainbows and sun on Kaua’i
Kaua’i, the oldest of the Hawaiian islands, is as close to paradise as you could imagine. Yes, it’s expensive, the weather is a little hit or miss and, of course, it’s pretty far away from everything, but it’s also an island you’ll never want to leave. I had the opportunity to visit last month thanks to Koloa Landing Resort in …
Behind the scenes: Army takes on Ohio State
COLUMBUS, Ohio — I’m again traveling with Army football this season as the Black Knights look to build on the momentum of a huge 2016 season that included a win over Navy and a victory in the Heart of Dallas Bowl. West Point, with two wins in its first two games this year, took off for Ohio State on Sept. …
Big Island magic in Hawaii
The Big Island of Hawaii offers a totally different world from what tourists are used to in O’ahu, and I got to experience the island for two weeks in December. Hawaii Island — more commonly just called the Big Island — is rugged, rural and remote. There are few roads, fewer people and fewer towns, but sometimes that’s exactly what …

Autumn at Taughannock Falls
I made it back to the incredible Taughannock Falls State Park on Oct. 24 and had no shortage of things to photograph. Check out a few from this hike in central New York’s Finger Lakes region:
Army knocks off Rice, off to 2-0 start
Army kicked off the 2016 season with a win on the road at Temple, but the Black Knights did something on Saturday that hadn’t occurred in 20 years. West Point beat Rice, 31-14, to start a season 2-0 for the first since 1996. The victory over the Owls also marked the first time Army had gone consecutive games without a turnover, …
Celebrating Stony Point’s historic battle
This past weekend marked the 236th anniversary of the Battle of Stony Point, an American Revolutionary War clash in which Americans, in an attack planned by Gen. George Washington, retook the fort at Stony Point on New York’s Hudson River. The site is now a state park and hosts an annual reenactment of the day, complete with cannons and musket …
