June 27, 2024 – I’m soft-launching a new endeavor that I’ve been researching and building for several months: The JHoch Journal. This Substack site & newsletter will allow me to have more options over how I share my work than has been possible through the various social media platforms we all use. I’m hoping it will help me find more sustainability and a better connection with an audience, and I’m excited to expand my output, including more writing. If you happen to see this, consider subscribing. Everything is free to view right now, but there are options for financially supporting the publication. Eventually I will introduce a paywall for certain content, but that’s down the road. I’ve been working on fleshing it out and will be updating it regularly as we head into the Paris Olympics. Please let me know if you have any critiques or suggestions.
June 17, 2024 – Just found out I’ve been selected to be on the Black Team at the Eddie Adams Workshop XXXVII. Since I was part of the virtual workshop in 2020, this will be my first time attending in person. I’m very excited to help out on the farm!
March 30, 2023 – I’ve been accredited with one of the two credentials given to United States photojournalists to cover wrestling at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Should be a fun time!
