The day before the election, President Barack Obama and Chelsea Clinton campaigned for Hillary Clinton in Ann Arbor. Seats were essentially first-come-first-serve, so my friends and I ditched class and got in line at 7am -- 5 hours before the rally were to begin

11,000 person rally at the University of Michigan Diag
While in Chicago for a weekend photographing a concert at Navy Pier, I came across a small band of protestors outside Trump Tower - remnants of what had been a larger protest. Bummed I missed a great opportunity for photojournalism, I asked if they knew of any other protests. Turned out, a huge anti - Trump rally was scheduled for the next day. Instead of catching up on work that I promised myself I'd get done that weekend, I spent the entire day phtogoraphing and editing the protest. This was a reoccuring theme after the 2016 presidential election.

Hundreds of University of Michigan students supported the Muslim student community on campus by forming a protective circle around their night-time Ishaa prayer on the diag.
I was studying in the Ugli (one of the libraries at the University of Michigan) when hundreds of protestors burst through the doors. Realizing I was missing out on something really interesting, I biked back to my apartment at record speed, sprinted up the stairs, grabbed my camera, nearly ran someone over on the bike back to main campus, and caught the rally right in time. For 2 weeks afterwards, I carried my camera bag to my classes instead of my backpack.
