A Lobbyist's View
Mar 5, 2012
Jeremiah M. Murphy is a contract lobbyist from Rapid City (and occasional contributor of pictures to South Dakota Magazine). At the end of this 2012 legislative session, when his lobbying projects were complete, Murphy picked up his camera and made pictures of some of the folks who are involved in the legislative process in Pierre. Legislators, lobbyists, even a Sergeant-at-Arms made their way in front of Murphy's lens. View more of Murphy's photos at Tumblr.
