My favorite NFL photo of 2024

The 2024-2025 season isn’t over yet and so far I covered 11 games this season (home and away).  That’s on top of training camp and OTAs.  As you can imagine, I capture thousounds of images at every game, so over the course of the season the photo count adds up. 

Hard to explain why I selected this image as my favorite for 2024.  I tend to like sports images that are tight, almost head and shoulders type photos where it allows the viewer to get intimate with the player. 

I selected this imagine of Travis Kelce catching a pass for those reasons.  It’s clean, simple and allows you in.  I hope you like it as well.    

My favorite Formula 1 photo of 2024

After literially taking thousands of F1 photos this year, I selected this one as “the 2024 photo” for a few reasons.  One, it captured a quiet moment as Sergio Perez climbed into the Red Bull car right before he gets strapped into the seat and has to deal with extreme stress driving the car while he puts his life at risk.  Two, these moments in the garage are unique and something most people never get a chance to see with their own eyes.  And three, it seemed appropriate to feature Sergio since he won’t be racing in Formula One next season or maybe ever again…..and he deserves some recognition.  With so many big stories at the end of the season, his departure from Formula One didn’t get as much attention as you’d expect. 

Steelers at Commanders 2024

Steelers vs Chargers 2024

Some of my favorites from the Steelers vs. Chargers game.

Backyard Brawl 2024

Lions vs Steelers (2024 preseason)

I had a great time at Ford Field yesterday, even if it was only a preseason game.

Steelers vs Bills – Preseason

Both teams must be hiding their offensive playbook, because we didn’t see much from either team.  Regardless, we’re one step closer to the regular season. 

Steelers vs Texans 2024 Preseason

It was great to be back on the sideline again this fall. Let’s hope the 2024 NFL season is entertaining and that the Lions win the Super Bowl. Of course, the Steelers can do well, just not beat my Lions.

I got a chance to catch up with lots of peers and friends on the sideline. Hard to believe this is my 13th season covering the Steelers as part of the media.

2024 F1 Miami Grand Prix

I’m still trying to recover from the 4 action packed days, sun up to sun down, covering this event. Here are a few track side photos from the Grand Prix on Sunday.

Pittsburgh Pre-Flood

Here are a couple of photos of beautiful Pittsburgh this spring, prior to the floods hitting the city this week.  Thankfully, the flood caused material damage and I don’t think anyone was hurt. 

More Clemente Bridge Done Up For St. Patrick’s Day

Here are the photos I held back.  Brad identified this composition and I copied him….

Pittsburgh St. Patrick’s Day

Pittsburgh has a number of the bridges and buildings lit up green for St. Patrick’s day weekend. I met Brad out for sunrise this morning and captured a few photos. I got a few I really liked, but Brad identified the composition, so I’ll save posting those photos for later to let him post them first. I assume he’ll do that so. In the mean time, here is a more tradition photo composition of the 6th Street Bridge.

Kirk Cousins

More big quarterback news today with the announcement that Kirk Cousins is joining the Atlanta Falcons.  I took these photos of Kirk in 2021 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.

Wilson and Tomlin

We all learned in the last 24 hours that Russell Wilson will become a Pittsburgh Steelers player for the 2024-2025 season.  Time will tell whether this is a good fit for the team, but it is certainly a cheap option. 

 

I took this photo at the end Seahawks-Steelers game back in 2019.  It’ll be interesting seeing these two working together. 

Carnival Dream

On one of our cruises, I captured these photos of the fairly new Carnival Dream (new at that time) via my drone.  They’ve been sitting here on my computer waiting for their time to shine….  Well, shine away…..

Elements

This little condo complex in the Mexican Riviera is a nice little spot for a vacation.

Cincinnati Architecture

After covering a Steelers road game in Cincinnati a while back, the following morning before driving back to Pittsburgh, @jakemysliwczykphoto and I captured some Cincinnati cityscape photographs.  Now you get to enjoy some of them.

Golden Gate Bridge

It seems like forever since I’ve been to the west coast.  I enjoy San Francisco, but I’m not sure how safe it is anymore.  I guess like anywhere else, you have to be careful and watch your surroundings. 

 

Regardless, I’d like to visit SF again at somepoint soon.

Breisacher Telescope

This beautiful little telescope was sitting outside the Breisacher Munster St. Stephan cathedral.  The cathedral sits up on a cliff looking down on the town of Breisach Germany and the Rhine River with France on the other side.
