Stephen Crowley: The States Project: District of Columbia | LENSCRATCH

Stephen Crowley grew up in Jupiter, Florida, the last stop on millionaire Henry Flagler’s Celestial Railroad. We met when I was a young newspaper photographer on Capitol Hill, and he had recently been hired at The New York Times. He had already begun to distinguish himself for his adroitness in capturing political nuance in layered visuals. When Aline suggested we feature a political photographer during the DC States Project, I knew of none better to provide a longer view of our current situation, nor of one with whom in work and life I was more intimately acquainted, as we have spent the better part of the last 20 years together.
