Assignment: Rolling Stone- Tom Morello
Probably the coolest assignment during all this mayhem in Madison has been for Rolling Stone Magazine.

Morello was a blast to shoot and the day was full of frozen fists raised high in [...]

This campaign season I was sent to follow mainly one race, the Senate race between Senator Russ Feingold and Ron Johnson. After the election, [...]
