Dense tropical foliage at night abstracted in very soft focus and illuminated in blended red and magenta light. The end of a small delicate branch comes into sharp focus in the center of the image.

My earliest released piece! I’ll be renewing this series next year.

A panoramic image of dense tropical foliage at night. Hard contrasting light brightens the plants in the immediate foreground as they create a border around its edges. Deeper into the dark central areas of the photo further flora can be seen against the dark night sky and dimly lit stars.

As studies these are a way to practice using darkness and softness maximally while leaving enough edges of shapes to anchor the image.

A single flower stands out in focus among dense tropical foliage. The background of the image is very much softened and blurred and illuminated in magenta, violet, and lavender light, the separate colors blending at their edges.

More sports. More food. More happy couples. More puppies. More travel. More sh*tposting. More deeply unpopular, meaningless-but-absolutely-correct opinions. The bastards are not going to win, & we're not going to sacrifice our everyday shared humanity on the altar of fascism.

👇🎯 Also, folks should just go ahead & do more sh*tposting of their deeply unpopular but entirely correct opinions 🧐😂

Honestly, what is this neighborhood bar for if we're not gonna yell at each other about beer, sports, music, & our professions?

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.
The words "FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE" placed over David Lynch's face (a still from TWIN PEAKS THE RETURN).

Incredible scene at the grand opening of the Hollywood Theater tonight! Packed house on hand for a special showing of “Metropolis.”

Congratulations and thank you to Brian and Row House Cinemas for bringing the crown jewel of Dormont back to life! 🎥 🍿

A rare monochromatic one, spent effort almost entirely on shading and composition

Very high contrast image of a cloud head, monochromatic in deep red, vaguely figural in shape.

Three years on this one. "No Sorrow" — 40"x48". Named after pitcher plants: "without grief." Explosive chaos, then surgical black lines. Had to live it to finish it. DM for purchase 🌺

The wonderful old-Twitter experience of a global group chat during a live event or breaking news is a thing you can't do on Threads bc of its trash algorithms and you can't do on X bc it's a Nazi propaganda weapon, but it's really happening on Bsky now and I hope more holdouts start to discover that

Fwiw, it’s nice to have a place to chat during a live event. That was one of the things that Twitter was great for. Before the dark times. Before the empire.

For #BlueskyArtShow a shot of one of my favorite stretches of road in #autumn, my favorite time of year

#art #flashes #kunst #contemporaryart #patreon #artonbluesky #photography #mobilephotography #trees #nightphotography #EastCoastKin #Pittsburgh #UpperLawrenceville #pghartist #pittsburghartist
A cobblestone street in Pittsburgh’s Upper Lawrenceville neighborhood late at night, softly illuminated by a single streetlight. It is entirely surrounded by dense trees just about to lose their leaves at the changing of the season.

More blended and more abstract. I like where these are going

Dene tropical foliage at night. Only a single stem and flower bud are in sharp focus in the center of the image. Surrounding that are the soft focus forms of other leaves illuminated in magenta and deep blue light. The colors blend, blurring the boundaries between forms.
