Pittsburgh. The Steel City. Home. And I’m just trying to capture it the best that I can.

More images from last night’s helicopter flight over #Pittsburgh this time of Kennywood Park. The display is one of the best in the city and you can really see how they go all out on the decorations. Amazing to see it from this angle.

I know that I've been a bit quiet on here lately, but I've still been capturing #pittsburgh everyday, and tonight I had the opportunity to capture some amazing images for Light Up NIght. These were shot from a helicopter over the city, and are some of my favorite holiday images I've ever captured.

This morning in #Pittsburgh the SpaceX Falcon 9 launch was visible from the West End Overlook and it was incredible to see. The rocket and exhaust were illuminated by the rising sun just as it was centered over the city. My favorite rocket launch image to date.

Meant to post these last week! On Friday I had the opportunity to tour the new terminal at @pitairport.bsky.social and it was such an amazing experience. It’s so close to being complete, and I loved seeing how open it was. The ceiling is a work of art, and I can’t wait to travel when it’s all done.

The farthest away I was to #Pittsburgh to capture the moon was 12.4 miles, and last night I was just shy of that at 9 miles but it worked out perfectly. The moon rose right beside the Steel Building, making for an unbelievable composition.

Downtown #Pittsburgh looked incredible tonight at moonrise, and I was even able to capture it behind the Gulf Tower. Even though the river wasn’t smooth, I kinda dig those shimmering reflections.

A view from yesterday morning and what might be one of my favorite images of the Iron City clock in #Pittsburgh. I actually captured this one from a few blocks away, and I think it's kinda cool how the clock just looks like it's floating above the South Side.

A foggy start to the day in #Pittsburgh this morning, and the view from the West End was the perfect spot to capture it. The fog was actually rolling in from the east (it normally comes up the Ohio from the West), so it was cool to see a wall of fog behind town.

Flying home from Iceland last week I had the incredible opportunity to pass over Greenland. It was something that I never even thought of doing, but when I looked out the window it was like looking at an alien landscape. Just incredible to experience.

A few recent film scans that I got back, all captured in the Strip District in #Pittsburgh. My favorite one is that first image of the pigeon walking in the crosswalk...it's just the type of image that film is made for.

Spent the week in Dublin and man was it fun. Bit of a whirlwind trip but I packed a lot into it, from Trinity College to pubs to churches and the bridges. So many images to share, but we’ll start with a view of the Temple Bar. It was a bit packed for my taste but still fun.

A few images of Edgar Thomson Steel outside of #Pittsburgh yesterday morning. I biked from downtown to McKeesport (about 34 miles round trip) and captured a bunch of images along the way. The light yesterday was perfect.

Never really thought the focus of one of my #Pittsburgh timelapses would ever be a clock, but that was the case last night. This is a little over an hour of the Iron City Clock before it was turned on yesterday evening and it came out way cooler than I thought it would.

The Iron City Beer clock is officially lit in #Pittsburgh and it’s the perfect addition to the South Side. So many images and a timelapse to share but these are some of my favorites from tonight.

Trying to nail down just four images to share for World Photography Today is nearly impossible, but I'll try. From #Pittsburgh to Italy, and Death Valley to upstate New York, photography brings me a lot of joy and I'm so happy that I get to share it with so many people everyday.

A few days ago I headed into #Pittsburgh to capture some views of the old Duquesne Brewery clock, which is now a fiery red now that Iron City Beer has taken it over. It won't be turned on until later this week, but last week in the morning sunlight it looked so cool.

Some incredible scenes in #pittsburgh this morning as the Perseid Meteor Shower was visible over the Steel City. The first image is a 470 shot composite of stars creating steaks over the city, and the second one is just the meteors. Also pictured: Saturn and its rings and Jupiter with its moons.

The moon looked amazing last night as it rose behind PPG Place in #Pittsburgh from the West End Overlook. It’s been a while since the moon lined up with the city from here and I tried to take full advantage. Lots more images to come!

Both of these images of the moon and PPG Place in #Pittsburgh were captured this evening, as the moonrise in the city was incredible. I have so many images to share, but these are definitely some earlier favorites.

Recently got some film back that I shot at Kennywood Park and I think I may exclusively shoot film there. The vibe just could not be more perfect, and these images just make me feel like I'm back there as a kid.

Last week I launched my 2026 #Pittsburgh calendars and completely forgot to share them here! This is my 14th year doing a calendar, and I have a special anniversary edition, where I took 13 images from each of the prior year.
Thank you so much for the support over the years!

Took a little break from social media as we were in Virginia Beach for a week, but I made sure to catch the Schwirian Farm sunflower festival last night. I was shooting some portraits in the fields but spent some time capturing the actual fields before and after the sessions as well.

Finally checked out the drone show at Kennywood earlier this week and it was so cool to see the history of the park presented over the Racer. These are some favorites, but I have a ton more that I captured, including a timelapse of the entire show.

Really enjoyed #Picklesburgh in #Pittsburgh yesterday. Spent over 10 hours downtown capturing scenes from the Clemente Bridge to downtown, and the layout made a huge difference. The food and drink were delicious, the music and activities were fun, and it seemed like everyone had a great time.

I’d say #picklesburgh is a success on day one. Downtown #pittsburgh is packed with people enjoying every pickle, and it’s awesome to see.
