95 degree heat isn't ideal for an afternoon on the roof, but the end result was worth it. The group photos all looked great, even the funny jazz hands shot was nice.

CEO of Alibaba Jack Ma speaks at The Economic Club of New York. It was an absolute honor to be asked to cover Jack Ma's visit to New York today. He's an incredible speaker and appears to be a genuinely nice guy. It's been nearly a year since I last photographed him, and he somehow remembered me and was very pleasant.

Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it's no exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions – Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith). The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley’s mind, where they help advise her through everyday life.

Although Joy, Riley's main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive, the emotions conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house and school.
