Pittsburgh. The Steel City. Home. And I’m just trying to capture it the best that I can.

A beautiful sunrise in #Pittsburgh this morning, as the sky caught fire directly behind the city for nearly 45 minutes. It was amazing to watch the scene develop from the West End Bridge, and this is one of my favorites.

Hope that everyone celebrating today had a very Merry Christmas. Thanks for the support over the year...Pittsburgh is truly a special city and I'm so blessed to be able to share it with so many of you!

A beautiful Christmas Eve morning in #pittsburgh today with buildings downtown lit up red and green for the holidays. Sunrise was incredible as well from the West End Overlook, capping off what was a great start to the day.

Another insanely beautiful snowfall in #Pittsburgh last night, and these are two of my favorite images. A ew composition of the Horne's Tree framed by the bushes, and a reflection of the tree where you can actually see the reflection of the snowflakes as well. First time I've ever shot that!

Have gotten a ton of requests about print purchases since the train image, so I thought I'd make a quick post about it (though I'd rather just be sharing images!). See below:

A few snowglobes from the Strip District in #Pittsburgh during last week’s snowfall. I find myself capturing the Strip more and more and these all came out really cool. I’ll have more to share as well but these are my favorites.

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

Just an absolutely amazing morning in #Pittsburgh today. The snow looked incredible as it fell over the city, and I spent nearly six hours capturing so many different areas of the city. We'll start with a couple snowglobe images of the Horne's Tree and Duquesne Incline though. What a day.

More images from last night’s helicopter flight over #Pittsburgh this time of Kennywood Park. The display is one of the best in the city and you can really see how they go all out on the decorations. Amazing to see it from this angle.

I know that I've been a bit quiet on here lately, but I've still been capturing #pittsburgh everyday, and tonight I had the opportunity to capture some amazing images for Light Up NIght. These were shot from a helicopter over the city, and are some of my favorite holiday images I've ever captured.

This morning in #Pittsburgh the SpaceX Falcon 9 launch was visible from the West End Overlook and it was incredible to see. The rocket and exhaust were illuminated by the rising sun just as it was centered over the city. My favorite rocket launch image to date.

Meant to post these last week! On Friday I had the opportunity to tour the new terminal at @pitairport.bsky.social and it was such an amazing experience. It’s so close to being complete, and I loved seeing how open it was. The ceiling is a work of art, and I can’t wait to travel when it’s all done.

The farthest away I was to #Pittsburgh to capture the moon was 12.4 miles, and last night I was just shy of that at 9 miles but it worked out perfectly. The moon rose right beside the Steel Building, making for an unbelievable composition.

Downtown #Pittsburgh looked incredible tonight at moonrise, and I was even able to capture it behind the Gulf Tower. Even though the river wasn’t smooth, I kinda dig those shimmering reflections.

A view from yesterday morning and what might be one of my favorite images of the Iron City clock in #Pittsburgh. I actually captured this one from a few blocks away, and I think it's kinda cool how the clock just looks like it's floating above the South Side.

A foggy start to the day in #Pittsburgh this morning, and the view from the West End was the perfect spot to capture it. The fog was actually rolling in from the east (it normally comes up the Ohio from the West), so it was cool to see a wall of fog behind town.

Flying home from Iceland last week I had the incredible opportunity to pass over Greenland. It was something that I never even thought of doing, but when I looked out the window it was like looking at an alien landscape. Just incredible to experience.

A few recent film scans that I got back, all captured in the Strip District in #Pittsburgh. My favorite one is that first image of the pigeon walking in the crosswalk...it's just the type of image that film is made for.

Spent the week in Dublin and man was it fun. Bit of a whirlwind trip but I packed a lot into it, from Trinity College to pubs to churches and the bridges. So many images to share, but we’ll start with a view of the Temple Bar. It was a bit packed for my taste but still fun.

A few images of Edgar Thomson Steel outside of #Pittsburgh yesterday morning. I biked from downtown to McKeesport (about 34 miles round trip) and captured a bunch of images along the way. The light yesterday was perfect.

Never really thought the focus of one of my #Pittsburgh timelapses would ever be a clock, but that was the case last night. This is a little over an hour of the Iron City Clock before it was turned on yesterday evening and it came out way cooler than I thought it would.

The Iron City Beer clock is officially lit in #Pittsburgh and it’s the perfect addition to the South Side. So many images and a timelapse to share but these are some of my favorites from tonight.

Trying to nail down just four images to share for World Photography Today is nearly impossible, but I'll try. From #Pittsburgh to Italy, and Death Valley to upstate New York, photography brings me a lot of joy and I'm so happy that I get to share it with so many people everyday.

A few days ago I headed into #Pittsburgh to capture some views of the old Duquesne Brewery clock, which is now a fiery red now that Iron City Beer has taken it over. It won't be turned on until later this week, but last week in the morning sunlight it looked so cool.

Some incredible scenes in #pittsburgh this morning as the Perseid Meteor Shower was visible over the Steel City. The first image is a 470 shot composite of stars creating steaks over the city, and the second one is just the meteors. Also pictured: Saturn and its rings and Jupiter with its moons.
