During the 2016 US Presidential Election Campaign, I had the opportunity to photograph several large events. During a campaign rally in Manheim, Lancaster County, while I was in the Press section, I noticed an Amish man holding a Make America Great Again sign.

In what sounds like a juicy story, the Daily Dot published a story using a George Sheldon Photo. The article is called, “‘I’m out to eat with my momma and my daddy out to eat with his girlfriend’: Woman catches dad with ‘side chick’ at Logan’s Roadhouse.” I had nothing to do with the story,…
