Photos from the RNC Convention in St. Paul

I got to attend the RNC convention in St. Paul to take photographs for an upcoming documentary called 'Papers' - A film about immigrant youth and the challenges they face when they become adults without legal status in the United States.

We interviewed over 40 people inside and out at the Xcel Center in St. Paul and it was an amazing experience.  I was surprised how you build a relationship with folks you interview for something like this - and it made all of us think hard about being respectful and straight-forward about how we represent these interviews in the documentary.

It was especially cool to talk with people from all walks of life, and across the political spectrum, and from protesters to delegates.  We even got several interviews with locals not attending the convention for either side. 

Here are some more photos from Thursday outside the convention.

Hi Jeff. Hey I'm digging your RNC photos. Good photo of my friend Jeff G. gettin' the UFC smackdown from the cops, while wanna-be congressman Ed Mathhews goes untouched.
