I guess it’s time for one of my semi-annual posts to this platform, featuring some of the shenanigans I have been up to of late. A year ago today I was debating going to try and go get a “real job”, and boy am I glad I didn’t! It’s been an amazing year of accomplishment for me/DEROPP Inc., featuring comedy specials, riots, music festivals, natural disasters, rappers, TV shows, commercials, Elon Musk, and even a brief private jet ride ;). Big thanks to everyone giving me all these amazing opportunities and putting food on my table!!

Here are some of my photos from exactly a year ago in Washington DC. It was a crazy adventure that involved somehow getting let into Trump Tower, front row seats to the inauguration, and then of course documenting the many protests. Highlight of the trip: women’s march! (Also hanging with folks from my college newspaper and meeting Vermin Supreme was cool too!). #deropp #womensmarch #dc #washington #inauguration #trump #whitehouse #photojournalism #cityonahill #stephenderopp

I’ve been looking through my pix as we approach 1 year into Trump’s America. Just came across this one, which is one of my favorites from an anti-Trump protest in #Oakland, CA. #trump #cheeto #oakland #california #photojournalism #deropp #chp #protest #bayarea #trumpsamerica #pressphoto

I went a bit against the grain for this shot of the sunset at #NaturalBridges State Beach, pointing my camera the opposite direction of all the other photographers. #santacruz #california #earthporn #sunset #beach #statepark #deropp #nature #canon

A Clark Nutcracker seized the opportunity to get in this shot of #morrainelake and the #valleyofthetenpeaks in #banff #nationalpark in #alberta #canada. Fun fact: this exact scene was for a long time showcased on the back of the canadien $20 bill. #earthporn #wildlife #clarksnutcracker #deropp
