I captured my favorite image of the week on April 3. 

This is the lead image for a story that talked about an adderall shortage nationwide and the impact it may have on people with ADHD.

Because of busy schedules, the photo for the story was in limbo, and deadline was looming. Improvisation was needed. In the middle of working on my long list of assignments, I sprang into action and pulled out my camera.

I asked around the newsroom if anyone had any sort of medication — any. One person did. So, I said, “I need you to hold some of it in the palm of your hand for a photo.” They agreed.

This experience goes to show the flexibility newsroom photographers need to have and the last-minute, quick-on-our-feet mentality photographers are trained for.
