This was one of the coldest games I’ve ever covered. I did a game in Cleveland many years ago that was -20 degrees. Maybe that was my coldest game???
Anyway, here are some of the photos from last Saturday night’s game. Let’s start with some photos from the Franco Harris jersey number retirement.
Now some game action photos.
It doesn’t matter how many times I go to downtown Pittsburgh; I’m always impressed. I think Pittsburgh has one of the best downtown areas of all cities in the U.S. Do you agree?
I took this from the North Shore a few months ago.
This photo isn’t from today (Christmas day), but it could have been. It has been overcast with no snow here for most of December. Regardless, it’s a beautiful city and photo. Have a great holiday weekend.
From my family to yours, we hope you have a wonderful holiday season and happy new year.
At this time of year, I always go back to photos I took of this church many years ago with Brad and Dave. I like them because they are rich, and they scream winter holidays. But it’s also because I haven’t taken many holiday photos over the years.
I took this photo last Saturday when I met Brad Truxell downtown for the sunrise. This is the Clemente Bridge.
Here is a view from spring 2019, back when it was safe to be around other people…. We had a nice photo walk that evening and captured some great photos. This specific photo is looking down on the U.S. Steel Building in Pittsburgh.
Here are a few GIFs I created this week from my photos at last Monday’s game. I realize I’m an old man and late to the game. These are the first GIFs I’ve ever made. Enjoy…

I don’t have anything specific to say tonight. I don’t feel very creative or insightful. So I’m falling back on a happy photo of Antonio Brown. I took this photo in Cleveland last fall. The Steelers easily beat the Browns and I got some great photos that day.

Unfortunately, Le’Veon Bell got hurt today and had to be carted off the field. That meant his back up, DeAngelo Williams played a good amount. He was pretty good, but the entire offense didn’t play well. Thus the Bengals remained undefended.
The weather was good. My sideline pass was good. The game was rather boring from my perspective. Anyway, until next weekend when the Steelers are home against the Raiders, have a good week.

Well, my football season is done in more ways than one. The Detroit Lions lost their playoff game….which is typical. They succeed in finding ways to lose. And since the Pittsburgh Steelers lost, my photography season is done as well.
So I thought I’d do a quick recap and share some of my favorite photos from the season. Here are the games I photographed:
Cleveland Browns – Sept. 7th
Houston Texans – Oct. 20th
Indianapolis Colts – Oct. 26th
New Orleans Saints – Nov. 30th
Kansas City Chiefs – Dec. 21st
Cincinnati Bengals – Dec. 28th
Baltimore Ravens – Jan. 3rd
In the previous season, it seemed like we had all kinds of bad weather. So before the 2014-2015 season started, I purchased some good camera rain covers. That must have worked, because we were very lucky this season. The weather was perfect (or better then you could expect) for every game. I put the rain covers on a few times, but that was more for precautions.
Favorite interactions of the season. Without getting into the details, I had some good interactions/conversations with Brett Keisel, Antonio Brown and Adam Vinatieri.
And finally, here is a link (the picture of Mike Tomlin below is the link) to some of my favorite photos from the season…. Now before you click the photo below to see the gallery, here are a few things to remember:
1. I like too many of them, so reducing the list down to something reasonable didn’t happen. My goal was to select 5 or fewer photos from each game…. I totally failed and couldn’t narrow them down to my goal.
2. I picked pictures that included more then just live action game shots. For example, I picked some photos of the crowd, reporters, and other non-football players…. Sometimes because there was a story behind the photo. Sometimes because I think the activities going on around the game are as interesting as the game.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the photos. Until next season…..when I hope the Lions learn how to win games against good teams……
