After Republicans swept much of the midterm elections, there were many new faces in public office. A total of 157 new representatives in New Hampshire, 18 in Merrimack County. I recently completed a portrait series to introduce readers to their new representatives in the county. It was an interesting experience trying to coordinate with all 18 representatives, some who I never heard back from while others returned calls and emails within the hour. In the end, I was able to meet up with all who I made contact with, unfortunately it was only 12 out of the 18. Nonetheless, I think it's still successful in showing the majority of the majority.
Tully, we want to see the series! I've been considering a series for a while now, I think in part because as newspaper photographers, we're asked to make portraits all the time and wish for something more cohesive . . .
I am a staff photojournalist at the Concord Monitor. I am a graduate of the University of Missouri School of Journalism and was a student at the Danish School of Journalism. Upon graduation, I worked at the Midland Daily News for nearly two years from 2008-2010.
