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.
Here is a throwback photo for you. I took this photo during a Shutter Rush weekend at the very beginning of 2020. Jason, Jake and I spent the weekend photographing parts of Baltimore, creating digital content and capped the weekend off by covering the Ravens-Steelers game. When it was all done, we put the photos and videos together to create the “Shutter Rush – Baltimore Edition” documentary which is still available on Amazon Prime. This photo is from our time in West Baltimore. We found this graffiti alley and played with steel wool.
Here are a few photos from the Sonoma Raceway. I was there with @baggermayhem racing team working as part of their digital/media team. These photos are of their Bagger GP bike.
Big thanks to them for allowing me to be a part of the team. I also want to thank all the great folks at their sponsors @harddriveparts @flomotorsports @vosshelmets @michelinmotorcycle @pennohiocycles
Here are more photos from the Bagger Racing League. This time I’m posting photos of @baggermayhem racing (BMR) team’s Lite Weight bike

I didn’t go to the Steelers vs. Titans game today. I’ve been dealing with a cold for two weeks, so I skipped it. It didn’t seem like a smart idea to sit outside for 6 hours in the near freezing temperature while I’m fighting this small illness. I’ve made good use of the extra time and have been editing NFL photos much of the day.
Here is an unusual edit from a photo I took of Joe Haden during the Steelers-Bears game about a month ago.
Enjoy this sunset from Marco Island Florida. I took this photo from the hotel balcony last spring.
Last week I had a very busy couple of days. I traveled to Minnesota to photograph the Steelers/Vikings game on Thursday Night Football. Then very early Friday morning, I traveled from there to California to photograph the Bagger Racing League event at the Sonoma Raceway. The Bagger Mayhem Racing team invited me to be a part of their race team for the weekend. Along with Jake, I photographed the practice sessions, the races, behind the scenes (garage, pits, etc..) and ran their social media for the weekend. I’ll have a bunch of these photos for you later. Then I traveled back on Sunday…. Needless to say, I was tired when I got home.
Tonight, I have a bunch of Steelers/Vikings photos for you.
It has been a crazy busy month. I haven’t been posting routinely…frankly, I haven’t even thought about positing. Sorry about that, I’ve just been running hard with work activities.
Anyway, a week ago I went to Minnesota to cover the Steelers at Vikings game on Thursday Night Football. That was my first time at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. I must say it is an amazing facility. I was very impressed.
I’ll post more photos from this game later, but for now here is the very last play of the game. With time running out, the Steelers threw the pass into the End Zone to Tight End Pat Freiermuth. If he had made the catch; the Steelers would have tied the game and they would have gone into Overtime. But he was hit by three defenders at the same time and the football popped out of his hands. This is the conclusion of that play, and you can see the ball slipping away from him. I’m sure that was heartbreaking for him.
On a trip to visit Blair, he took us to this beautiful spot to watch the sunset. I think this is English Harbor in the foreground. Regardless, it’s a great spot!!
I’ve been working my way through all the photos I took during the FIA Formula 1 US Grand Prix. Of the 27k photos, I selected a little over a 100 to edit. Here are a few I edited yesterday.
For Thanksgiving this year, I’m grateful for my family (by blood, marriage and great friends who I consider family…you know who you are) and this year’s experiences.
Here is an aerial photo from our Iceland trip last summer. This is the famous Iceland Blue Lagoon from a perspective that most people never see.
I hope everyone in the United States has a great Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow.
Today’s photo is an image I took a few months ago in downtown Pittsburgh. This building sits on the North Shore next to the 7th Street Bridge. I took this photo at sunrise to get the sun reflecting off the glass.
Today I have a drone photo for you from the Point Betsie Lighthouse on the Lake Michigan coast in northern Michigan. This spot, among many in Michigan, is beautiful. It sits near the village of Frankfort and Crystal Lake.
During our last cruise on the Carnival Mardi Gras, I had an opportunity to get some drone footage and photos of the Carnival Dream while it was coming into port. I don’t know if the ship knew I was flying around it with the drone, but I got some great content. Here is a photo I took when I was done and the ship was sailing away from me.
Below are a few photos I captured of the Scuderia Alpha Tauri Formula 1 Team at the 2021 FIA Formula 1 US Grand Prix. The Alpha Tauri drivers are Pierre Gasly (#10) and Yuki Tsunoda (#22). They are the sister team to Red Bull Racing. Yuki is a rookie F1 driver and is just trying to figure it all out. Gasly is an extremely talented driver who gets the most out of his car. He often challenges the major teams (Mercedes and Red Bull) even though he has a substandard car and technology.
Today’s post is of Carlos Sainz at the 2021 FIA Formula 1 US Grand Prix which took place at the Circuit Of The Americas (Austin Texas). Carlos drives for Scuderia Ferrari along with Charles LeClerc. They are currently 6th (LeClerc) and 7th (Sainz) in the standings for the 2021 Driver’s Championship.
I hope you don’t mind I got a little arty with this photo edit.
Here is another photo from the Carnival Mardi Gras. Many of the common spaces had these color changing light panels. So, the environment changed colors all the time. I’d often take multiple photos of the same spot as the color would change over and over. I decided to share this purple version with you since MJ’s favorite color is purple. I also really liked this space and we had cocktails in this location a few times.
MJ and I had a chance to experience the relatively new Carnival Mardi Gras cruise ship. As you can imagine, it’s been a while since we’ve been on a cruise boat. Like my past practice, I got up very early one morning to photograph the ship while everyone else slept. This is one of many bars on the ship.
One day after the terrible game between the Steelers and Lions, I have some more photos for you. These are focused on my Detroit Lions.
Here are a few photos from today’s game. (Heinz Field – November 14, 2021). It was a cold, wet, and ugly game. Neither team desired to win and neither one of them did.
