My favorite photograph was of the one on the front cover with the sign because it shows how passionate these people are.
My least favorite photograph was the golfer because it didn't really make me feel anything for the golf team.
I would've liked to shoot the March For Our Lives segment because I find that topic interesting.
I think the photography was pretty good in this issue, I would only change some pictures that lacked emotion tied to them, some were boring. But the rest were really nice, I believe.
