I like to be a beginner. Current project: running
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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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!
