A recent assignment for @nytmag where I had the privilege of contributing to Elizabeth Barber’s story about how a teenager’s cancer treatment became the center of a MAHA custody battle in Oklahoma. Presten Mooney was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia in 2024. He began the treatment recommended by his doctors, but his mother, Dayna, who had grown increasingly distrustful of conventional medicine over the years, stopped bringing him to his oncology doctors and began pursuing alternative treatments at home. As Presten’s health deteriorated, a concerned family member contacted Child Protective Services. Meanwhile, MAHA supporters rallied around Dayna as part of a broader movement for parental rights and medical freedom. Presten’s case soon became a political flashpoint in the fight over who gets to decide what is best for a child. This story complicated a lot of what I thought I understood about love and consequence. Grateful to Presten, James, Heather, and Dayna for inviting me into their family, to Sen. Shane Jett and Dr. Randy Grellner for their time and trust, and to Elizabeth Barber for the depth and sensitivity of her reporting. Endless thanks to @allison_pasek for her thoughtful support and guidance throughout this assignment. On stands today. 13 Sep 2026

While working on The Camps America Built, many of the families I spoke with shared small wooden carvings their parents or grandparents made while held in America’s concentration camps. Birds were common: carefully shaped from wire, scrap wood, and whatever materials they could find. I encountered these objects again a few weeks ago while visiting my dear friend and collaborator Henry Kaku. Holding the delicate carvings, I was reminded that when people are forced into uncertainty, what carries them forward isn’t rhetoric. It’s the act of making. Carving, drawing, building something with your hands. Creating proof that you are still here. Whenever I question whether a long-form documentary project is urgent enough to meet this moment, I think about these birds, passed down from generation to generation. Families held onto official papers and news headlines, yes—but it was these birds that they passed on to their children and grandchildren. A reminder that while records tell us what happened, art shows us what mattered. 20 Feb 2026

Grateful to Yuvan Kumar (@van_tage_point) of @icp for this thoughtful interview around The Camps America Built and for indulging me in the kind of cerebral conversation that usually makes me a terrible guest at dinner parties 💁‍♀️ Full interview at the link in bio. 20 Apr 2026

Congratulations to @amonte_schroe and @madeleine.londene on their well-deserved nomination for the 2026 German Reporter Award (Deutschen Reporter:innen-Preis) for their @szmagazin story about Andrea Skinner, which I had the privilege of photographing. Grateful to have worked alongside them and @jakob.feigl, who brought so much patience and care to the assignment. And most of all, thank you, Andrea, for welcoming us so warmly and for sharing your story with us. Sitting with you and the horses, I felt an ease in my own body that I hadn’t expected to find. Here’s an outtake from our time together. 02 Nov 2026

Ten years in the making. My mom has been dreaming of visiting Gajoen, a small ryokan tucked away in the mountains of Kagoshima, for the past decade. Last week, we finally made the trip together. Founded by Tateo Tajima, Gajoen was conceived around the idea of 日本人の心の原風景, or the ancestral landscape held in the Japanese imagination. Beginning in the 1970s, Tajima rescued old thatched-roof farmhouses from demolition and relocated them to the banks of the Amori River, spending the next 13 years creating a small village reminiscent of the Japan he remembered from childhood. Today, chickens wander freely between the thatched-roof houses, meals are prepared over open fires, and mineral-rich hot spring water flows through the baths. What a privilege it was to spend a night in a place Tajima devoted over a decade of his life to. Even more special to finally experience it with my mom, who had been holding onto this wish for so long. 01 Nov 2026

In my latest Framework post, I share hard-earned lessons on what photo editors look for in a portfolio website, and how to present your work in a way that (actually) leads to assignments. 22 Oct 2026

Last month, I had the privilege of working on a story for @nytmag about Presten Mooney, a teenager whose cancer treatment became the center of a MAHA custody battle in Oklahoma. One of the main challenges of this assignment was protecting Presten’s identity while still conveying the care around him. Here, he nestles into the arms of his adoptive father, James. One of my favorite frames to date. 13 Oct 2026

In my latest Framework post, I take you behind the scenes of a recent assignment for @natgeo about objects made by Japanese Americans while incarcerated in the camps, and what they taught me about hardship, dignity, and “gaman.” 08 Oct 2026

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘴 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢 𝘉𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘵 is a project facilitated by photographer Haruka Sakaguchi (@hsakag) about the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II. It documents Japanese American families as they make pilgrimages to the 10 concentration camps across the country to reflect on this dark chapter in American history. This project is dedicated to the former incarcerees and their descendants, who teach us that remembrance is an act of resistance.

Friends! The Duke University Archive of Documentary Arts (@dukeuniversity @archivedocarts) is accepting submissions for its 2026 Collection Awards. I received this award in 2021 after my mentor Elizabeth Krist kindly nudged me to apply. It gave I Will Not Stand Silent, a story I worked on with @sangsuk.jpg for @time, a life beyond its run as a magazine story. Having the work preserved in Duke’s Archive of Documentary Arts meant that the photographs would remain accessible to students and researchers long after the headlines had moved on. This year, the Archive is seeking completed photography projects, short films under 40 minutes, and audio projects. Winners will receive a $3,500 honorarium with additional production support available as needed. The deadline is October 1. I know many of you are working on incredible projects that deserve a life beyond publication. I hope you’ll consider applying.

Repost from @nytmag — During the pandemic, Dayna Mooney started to feel she’d been right to suspect that medical professionals didn’t understand things as well as they said they did. She stopped allowing her son Presten to receive vaccines. With his nurse practitioner, she began to wean him off his medications. Family members were alarmed by what seemed like Mooney’s slide towards conspiratorial thinking. In 2024, when Presten was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia, Mooney was devastated by the diagnosis. Doctors told her that Presten could live a long life, but that he would have to be on medication for many years. “Drs aren’t truly healing people, they’re masking peoples problems with endless meds,” Mooney texted her mother. When Presten’s condition began getting worse, Mooney stopped making appointments. She told the hospital the family had moved out of state. She spent several months caring for Presten at home. Relatives say Mooney claimed that Presten was in remission. (Mooney denies this.) People in Presten’s life began to wonder whether they were being lied to. When Mooney’s mother saw a photo of Presten bowling, he looked pale and terrifyingly thin. “All I could think was, She’s going to let him die.” She called Child Protective Services. After a C.P.S. caseworker arrived with an emergency order to take Presten to Oklahoma Children’s OU Health, a conservative coalition of politicians assembled to champion Mooney as a symbol for both parental rights and medical freedom. They described Presten’s case as a “medical kidnapping.” Was choosing alternative remedies over the recommendations of her son’s doctors Mooney’s right as a parent? Or a threat to his care?
