The Moment Is Yours

I hope you had a great weekend.  If you’re a dad, I hope you had a great Father’s Day as well.  And I hope you have a great week, since The Moment Is Yours!

 

I captured this photo of this mural in Miami Beach a few years ago. 

George 63

Mercedes Formula 1 team is struggling this season, like they did last year.  George Russell was expecting a better result when he joined the team after driving with Williams Racing.  Hopefully he’ll get a chance to win some races and eventfully challenge for the championship at some point.

 

Here are some photos of Russell at the 2023 FIA Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix.

Budapest Castle

An amazing city!!  I need to go back.

376 Pittsburgh Portal

This is a great route to enter Pittsburgh.  When you shoot out of the tunnel onto the Fort Pitt Bridge, the immediate and wonderful view of the city is amazing. 

Hamilton The GOAT

The Sunday Series this week is of Lewis Hamilton. These photos were taken by me at the 2023 FIA Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix. In the modern era, there is no doubt he is the Greatest Of All Time.

Fort Pitt Bridge

Sorry for my absence.  I’ll explain when we see each other next.  Until then, here are a couple photos I took this morning while out on a photo walk with Brad and Dave.

Westminster Abbey

In a few days, the cornonation of King Charles will take place at Westminster Abbey in London, England.  MJ and I spent a little time in London recently, scoping out the facility on behalf of the monarch…..or not.  Either way, we toured the Abbey.

 

I’ll admit it, Westinster Abbey was a highlight of the trip for me.  Here are some photos from this wonderful architectural site. As you’ll see, I loved the ceilings and that helped keep people out of the photos.

Tulum

Tulum has exploded in popularity over the last five years.  It’s amazing how Instagram can do good things, although there are negative items that come from social media as well.  IG’s influence has driven a increase in tourism to Tulum that’s improved the local economy.  Of course, it has driven up the price going to there as well.      

Burgh’s Smithfield Bridge

It’s been a while since I did a photo walk in downtown Pittsburgh.  This photo is from just before the pandemic.  It is weird how time seems to have changed speed during COVID.  Some things appear to be going faster and some slower.  The pandemic has negatively impacted my photography opportunities. 

 

Regardless, I always liked this photo with the city bus passing by as I took the exposure.

Cuba Compagnie

We’ve eaten at this restaurant a couple of times during trips to Bonaire.  We’d highly recommend it.

Miami Beach Lifeguard Shacks

A combination of drone and land-based photos from our last Miami trip.  I tried to photograph the lifeguard shacks at different times of the day.

South Haven Lighthouse

Small series of photos from a past trip to Michigan.  I love this little break wall and lighthouse.  The sunsets from this spot are usually amazing.

African Safari

I’m ready for another trip to Africa.  It’s hard to believe the trip was five years ago ready.  At times, it seems like yesterday and at other times it seems like it was decades ago.  Regardless, here are some photos from our safari.

FIA Formula 1 series

I’ve enjoyed the start of the 2023 FIA Formula 1 season so far.  I can’t wait until the next race that I can attend.  Until then, here is a small series of photos I took at the United States Grand Prix last October.

Cresson Prison

Enjoy this series of photos from the abandoned Cresson Prison.  These are some of the hundreds of photos I captured on this photo walk.
