Gregory Bovino, commander-at-large of the U.S. #BorderPatrol, claims a @wbez.org/@chicago.suntimes.com report about his comments Sunday in downtown #Chicago was "grossly inaccurate" and taken out of context. So we've posted the interview's unedited AUDIO and TRANSCRIPT: www.wbez.org/immigration/...

Today Chicago Public Media is launching a pledge drive asking for donations to protect public media from threats to independent journalism. With more buyouts this week and potential layoffs as soon as next week, we want CPM to do its part by finding non-labor cuts and creative revenue solutions.

On Tuesday, I interviewed the warm and hilarious Keke Palmer at the DuSable Black History Museum. The Illinois native is the new chief brand officer for Creme of Nature. Here's my story for @chicago.suntimes.com. 📷 Zubaer Khan chicago.suntimes.com/celebrities/...

So incredibly proud to be a part of the @chicago.suntimes.com photo team. I’m always learning from my talented colleagues and it’s surreal to have my photos included with theirs in this beautiful collection. chicago.suntimes.com/chicago/year... #photography #bestof2024

Today marks one year for me at the @chicago.suntimes.com! I’m excited to celebrate it with the release of this article, about our small-but-mighty photo team and our favorite images of the year! chicago.suntimes.com/photography/... #photojournalism #photography

Just started playing this Indiana Jones game and even though I knew everything that would happen in the first mission, it was still exciting to play!

One of the things I love most about my job is that I get to see all sides of the city, and there are unexpected sights around every corner.

Had a really fun assignment today, covering a Syrian Americans in Chicago celebrating the fall of Assad. Such a positive, joyful gathering. chicago.suntimes.com/metro-state/... #photojournalism

At a press conference announcing the city’s new Director of Re-entry and it is the best press conference I’ve ever been to. Everyone is cracking jokes, the mayor got emotional, and everyone is here to support a good cause. Such a great way to start the work day.

Awww sleet sleet sleet sleet sleet #weather #Chicago

Recently acquired a 3d printer and omg these things are magical.

I went to a really beautiful event at the Bridgeport Boys and Girls Club today. It was their 57th annual Thanksgiving dinner. This is my favorite image, but there’s more in the story: chicago.suntimes.com/news/2024/11... #photography #photojournalism

For those going home to visit family this weekend: • Samsung calls it Auto Motion Plus • LG calls it TruMotion • Sony calls it Motionflow • Roku calls it Action Smoothing • Google TV calls it Motion Enhancement • Vizio calls it Smooth Motion Effect.

I was not aware that this was a thing but now I must capture this!

It has snowed in Chicago and YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS! Time to remind everyone that we light our train tracks on fire to prevent the switches from freezing.

I was sent out to cover a fire that spread to 3 residential buildings last night in the North Center neighborhood of Chicago. Thankfully, nobody was injured. #photography #photojournalism chicago.suntimes.com/news/2024/11...

Ok Balatro, I’m gonna need my two hours back. 😩

When the @chicago.suntimes.com sent me on assignment to Sushi-san, I decided to challenge myself and try to make my shots look more like product photography. I looked up some references and, overall, I feel like I did a pretty ok job. See the story for more! chicago.suntimes.com/the-sip/2024...

Ask “Why Does This Story Need to be Told?” Sarahbeth Maney is @propublica.org's first visual fellow. I'm hugely lucky for getting to collaborate with her and see firsthand her generous, intentional and persistent approach. Now, you can get a peek at it too. www.propublica.org/article/tips...

I got the chance to visit one of my long-time favorite restaurants in Chicago and see what happens behind the scenes for this story with @dorothylynn.bsky.social for the @chicago.suntimes.com chicago.suntimes.com/dishin-on-th...

Fellow Chicagoans, if you haven’t been to Steelworkers park yet, it’s worth a visit. A former steel mill with walls partially intact, it’s a beautiful place to be as the sun goes down.

Bluesky is appealing in a “keeps a reasonable bedtime” kind of way.

Wholesome skeet.

“You came across my skyline” sound like some romantic shit lmao

Dilla got screwed over by ComEd. Choose Chicago should hire Dilla so he can continue to make great content & promote the city. You can support Shermann by grabbing a ticket to one of his Chicago tours! chicagomahogany.com (This is fan art I made of the dude)

I spent a week in Turkey in 2014 by myself, wandering around and taking photos. One of my favorites from that trip was of these fishermen returning after a day’s work, which I took exactly 10 years ago today! #streetphotography

I bought the Songs in the Key of Life cassette at a very hard time in my life and wore it out on my Walkman over the course of a year. That album saved me from a very dark place. He deserves this and so much more! 🎶

Put in about 2 hours on Goat Simulator with my 8 year old tonight, and this feels like GTA for kids. I like!

How long are we willing to go trying to untie a plastic bag before just tearing it open? I just maxed out at 45 seconds. Feels worth mentioning.
