I took this photo last spring before they changed the name to Acrisure Stadium. I’m not sure why I didn’t share the photo until now. Oh well, here you go.
Terrell Edmund
I want back on the sideline of an NFL field….. Darn you COVID!!! Here is a photo I took of Terrell during the 2018 season.

PPG Skyview
Pittsburgh is a very pretty city. Frankly, it’s underrated and should be a travel destination for those who’ve never been here before. I took this photo looking down on the PPG building with Heinz Field and the three rivers in the background.

Rubber Bowl Stairs
I think this site was demolished shortly after my visit. It was a great explore and I’m glad I got to see it before it disappeared. This was the former home football field for the University of Akron.

Trouble
I took this photo in 2018 at Heinz Field. I loved that season, since I got to see all the NFC North teams play the Steelers. On this play, Big Ben didn’t stand a chance of surviving.

Stafford to Abdullah
Another NFL throwback for you. Here is a photo I took at Ford Field in 2018 of Matthew Stafford handing the ball to Ameer Abdullah. I don’t remember for sure, but I think my Lions lost this game. Not that the Lions losing is an unusual event.

Aaron Donald
Local Pittsburgh native does good in the NFL with the LA Rams. It was fun photographing him last year when the Rams were in Pittsburgh.

Flying Bell
Tonight, I have a 2017 flashback for you. As a Detroit Lions fan, I loved photographing the Steelers at Ford Field. I got to the game about 7 hours early, just to explore the stadium, and photograph it without any people around. I captured more Lions photos then I did Steelers photos….but that was to be expected. Of all the photos from that day, I’ve always liked this one of Le’Veon Bell flying through the air.
UA
Today’s photo post is from our “Shutter Rush – Baltimore Edition” road trip. If you watched the film, you know we went to Under Armour’s headquarters since they helped sponsor our film/road trip. Here is a photo I took that night from their campus.

Intensity
For Sunday night, I have a flashback football photo that I took last season. I captured this when the Ravens were in Pittsburgh. This shot of Robert Griffin III (RG3) demonstrates his intensity. You have to wonder what his career would have been like if the Redskins had managed him and his injury correctly. Potentially Hall of Famer but that was then, now he’ll never be viewed in that light. If you think about it, he was the Patrick Mahomes before Patrick Mahomes. Ruined potential.

Anthony Harris
Flashback to 2018…. Here is a photo I took of Anthony Harris at Heinz Field during a Vikings vs. Steelers game. Harris is a defensive back who has played for the Vikings since 2015 after leaving the University of Virginia.

Simply Ben
This is a throw back to last season when Ben Roethlisberger was injured all season. His beard got longer as the season progressed. If we have a 2020 season, it’ll be interesting to see if he has healed completely or not.

1933
Something different for you tonight. I’ve been on a roll of posting dark photos lately. Anyway, here is a Mike Tomlin photo for you from last season. It was the NFL’s 150th anniversary last year, therefore they had all teams wear gear with the year they were created….. For the Pittsburgh Steelers it’s 1933.

Under Armour HQ
Now that our film (Shutter Rush – Baltimore Edition) has been released on Amazon Prime (in Canada and the United States), I can share this photo. If you watched the film, you know we did some steel wool photos in front of Under Armour’s headquarters…. thankfully we didn’t burn up their property. We planned to do something special at their facility because they helped sponsor us that weekend and for the film. So, we wanted to add an Under Armour photo shoot to the video to show them some love.
As part of that photo shoot, I took a ton of images and video with my camera, iPhone and my drone. This photo looking down at Under Armour’s property on the waterfront, is of course a drone shot. Side note, MJ’s white SUV made it in this image and it was in the film a number of times.

Colts Reflection
Here is something a little different for you. I captured this photo at the Colts vs. Steelers game last season. I was walking behind the Colts bench area and noticed they had their shoe case split open. So, I squatted down to grab a quick photo and captured my reflection in the glass. That was also about the moment I got in trouble. Security came over and ran me off. We’re not allowed to take any still photos from behind the team bench area for some reason.
Tomlin
I’ll keep the football theme going for the 3rd straight day. Here is a photo of the Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin from November. I captured this during pregame from the field as Mike walked around talking to his players.

Playoffs - Vikings
NFL Playoff games today….Vikings vs 49ers and Titans vs Ravens. Here is a photo I captured in 2017 of Terence Newman. He played in the NFL for 15 years before taking his current position as nickel/defensive backs coach for the Vikings.

Ford Field
I love my Detroit Lions, but I can honestly say we’ll never see anything called the “NFL Super Bowl Detroit Lions” in this building or any other. We won’t see any banners hanging from this ceiling more recent then the 1957 Championship banner for many, many years. Probably long after I’m gone from this world. So the question is why does anyone, including me, continue to cheer for this franchise? I don’t have an answer to that question….. They’re just my team… It is, what is it!!
