Bernie Sanders of Vermont is shaking up the Democratic primary with a grassroots campaign that is taking on the special interests and billionaire donor class. Among other things, he is also pressing for: breaking up the big banks, free education, lessening income inequality, and undoing the Citizens United decision with a Constitutional amendment. These photos were taken at an home gathering in Hanover, NH before he was an official candidate and one in Manchester, NH just after his formal announcement. In Hanover, Bernie arrived to speak with about 20 of us with his driver and campaign director, Nick Carter at the home that was marked by signs left over from his last senate campaign. In Manchester, just a few weeks later, there were 10x as many people and the signs were homemade. If you want to help, go to https://berniesanders.com

I had the privilege of going to Cuba in March to photograph the Cuban Olympic Diving Team. While the Cubans only have two divers who have had Olympic experience (José Guerra has been to 4 Olympics) I was able to work with the Olympic development program and got a chance to photograph future Cuban stars. Here are photos of Yenkler Aguirre and José. These guys and the others on the team are truly amazing in that their practice venue, equipment, and travel are all very make shift. Their coaches, who are paid little are committed to these athletes and themselves sacrifice considerably to make the team happen.
