Democrat Katie Hobbs Defeats Kari Lake in High-Profile Arizona Governor Race

Hobbs’ team reached out to me 10 minutes before she announced her victory, but I threw my breakfast on the floor and sped to the venue (a brisk 3 minute walk from where I was eating) and made it there before the governor-elect did.

I was out for the Journal all of Election Day, before dawn until the last person left the Republican election party sometime after midnight. Filed early and often, with dozens of my photos flitting across the WSJ homepages throughout the day. As I expected a winner in the Governors race wasn’t announced that night, which was something of a let down, energy-wise, but there was still plenty to see.

These images, due mostly to lawsuits and election denialism, continued to be used for almost a month after Election Day.

Thousands of Students Seek $7,000 Payments Under Arizona Voucher Law

Spent a day each with a couple families that planned to use the new vouchers to supplement their children’s educations. A fun assignment, my parents were educators and I love seeing how other folks educate their kids.

Fortune later re-used this image to head an account of Damola’s daily routine. It was challenging to make the bright and sunny images requested in a restaurant (open and busy) that’s known for it’s dark and cool ambiance.

When a full-time job isn’t enough

Tricky story to get done, couldn’t make photos of José actually at work; had to settle for before and after his dawn to well past dusk shifts. That definitely lent a certain mood to the images.
