For the third year, I will be photographing the Bipartisan Policy Convention. It’s a lot of work and makes for long days, but it’s an opportunity to listen to (and speak with) people involved in making public policy. Hosted by James Carville and Mary Matalin, it’s guaranteed to be another event grounded in gripping and engaging dialogue.
This year, I will have a little work station set up at one of the tables, so come by and say hi – and listen and learn on how top politicians and leading strategists give their thoughts on how to “take the poison out of partisanship.”
