“The Future of Entertainment Is Online,” School Assembly Performers Fight for Footing

It is 8 o’clock on a Monday morning, and David Jack is preparing for a school performance in his home outside of Philadelphia. Nothing new. He has done thousands of these since he first started performing music in elementary school assemblies in 2000. Except this educational show is 600 miles…

“It’s a gift,” Indy Racers Bring Back Rural Racetrack

It’s 11:30 P.M. on Friday, July 2, 2021, and 69-year-old Matt Floyd lies alone in an empty field changing the tires on his race-car as a deer looks on from a field in darkness about a hundred yards away. The sole light will turn off, and the deer will take…

Dancing to Forget

I wrote this essay shortly after returning home to Mississippi from Yale in March of 2020 due to the coronavirus’s impending entry into our American way of life. It is a piece of fiction based off real events — a portrait of landscape that might never change even if it…

Rain Delays, Injuries, Allegations

Double Fault. Advantage Team Russia. Double Fault. Set Team Russia. Third set. Jan-Lennard Struff looks lost. I tuned in late, spending the evening finishing my assignments and absolutely destroying a heated-up cinnamon blondie, but I came just in time to see the camera pan to Struff’s gaze during the rain…

Gas Tanks and Church Steeples

A Riot, a Visual Journalist, a Photograph, and a Discussion

“It’s coming through a hole in the air From those nights in Tiananmen Square It’s coming from the feel That this ain’t exactly real Or it’s real, but it ain’t exactly there From the wars against disorder From the sirens night and day From the fires of the homeless From the ashes of the gay Democracy is coming to…

Pandemic Diary #2 — March 2020

We looked at each other from a distance, silence filling the great divide between us. I looked up towards the intercom speaker, halfway expecting the callous intercom voice above to countdown. ”3…2…1,” and we would both whip out our guns for a duel. But, alas, we were not on the…
