Feel like it’s been forever since I’ve caught the rivers this smooth in #pittsburgh and though the rocket launch got blocked by the clouds here this morning, this was a nice consolation. Just incredible views along the Allegheny.

It's back! The Ferris Wheel is back in #Pittsburgh and set up on the Clemente Bridge for Oktoberfest, and I couldn't pass up the chance to ride it on opening night. Such a fun and festive activity and a great use of the bridge!

So many film images to go through as of late, but I love how this one came out. The way the clouds are reflecting off of PPG Place in #pittsburgh almost look connected with the clouds in front, making for such an interesting view.

Last night was the 13th anniversary of the day that the Giant Rubber Duck arrived in #Pittsburgh, and honestly it was one of my favorite nights of photography. This was the only night that it wasn't parked by the fountain at the Point, creating some unique and fun images.

A scene from a few days ago in #Pittsburgh as the moon rose behind PPG Place. Luckily the clouds didn't venture too far into the sky and that allowed the moon to come out, just as the sunset reflected in the glass castle. I never tire of these views.

Been a little MIA lately, but the month of June was jam packed with the end of school/soccer season, vacation, and my day job (which is not photography). But I was out for last night's fireworks display in #Pittsburgh, and before the smoke took over the scenes were incredible!

Happy Star Wars Day! This is one of my favorite days of the years, and I love creating mashups of #Pittsburgh and Star Wars images. I'll have more to share throughout the day, but these are some early favorites. #MayTheFourthBeWithYou

It's a beautiful day for the #Pittsburgh marathon and I spent this morning capturing some scenes from Mt. Washington and the West End Bridge of the start of the race. Good luck to all the runners...no better feeling than crossing that finish line!

Downtown #Pittsburgh looks INCREDIBLE tonight as the Wyndham is lit up for the NFL Draft. I saw that they were going to be doing this on the news this week, but it looks so much cooler than I thought it would. I stopped by the West End and Mt. Washington this evening, and these are some favorites.

It was the first Pirates fireworks night of the year, and I decided on the Duquesne Incline to capture them from. The view was amazing with the fountain back on after being off for all of last year...just classic #Pittsburgh scenes.

Happy #412Day everyone. It's not like we NEED a reason to celebrate #Pittsburgh, but I'll take every opportunity that I get. It's been amazing capturing the city for all of these years, and I look forward to many more!

What an absolutely ridiculous rainbow in #Pittsburgh this evening. One of the brightest that I have EVER seen, and it perfectly framed the city from the West End Overlook. I have a bunch to share, including one with mammatus clouds too. Talk about an amazing night.

So much fun at the Pirate game in #Pittsburgh today, where the Buccos won and Konnor Griffin got his first big league hit in his first big league at bat. I shot three rolls of film as well, but for now, these are some favorites from my Sony camera.

The cherry blossoms on the North Shore of #Pittsburgh are in full bloom and looked amazing today when the sun rose above the bridges. I spent a couple hours capturing them, and can't wait to share more, including some film images. These are some early favorites.

Talk about a lightning strike. Tonight I caught what might be one of the tallest bolts I've ever shot in #Pittsburgh, where you can see the entire thing, even where it exited the cloud from. Absolutely amazing to see in person, and one of my new favorite storm images.

Completely forgot to share this here! Tonight from 6-9 Wigle Whiskey is hosting a gallery night for my photography of #Pittsburgh, and these are some of the images that will be on display and for sale. They even paired 4 different cocktails with various images! No ticket required. Hope to see yinz!

Yesterday morning some of the buildings in #Pittsburgh were lit up green for the St. Patrick’s Day parade and I captured some images of the moon rising along with the spring blossoms. The pink and green looked so cool together.

Absolutely ridiculous sunrise in #pittsburgh today. The color was so vibrant and seemed to last forever, and the view from the West End Bridge was the perfect spot. Made for a helluva Friday morning!

Something special about being able to capture one of the first storms of the year in #Pittsburgh, and this morning’s was a good one. Caught a bunch of lightning strikes behind the city, but this one is definitely my favorite.

A little behind on posting, so here are some foggy views of #Pittsburgh from a few weeks ago. The fog was amazing how it just sat on the river, giving the city this eerie yet beautiful vibe. Eventually it engulfed the city, but not before I captured these.

What a day today. Took a helicopter flight over the frozen rivers of #pittsburgh and the views were insane. I've taken winter flights before, but this one was definitely one of the coldest and most snow covered. Can't wait to go through the rest of the images but these are some early favorites.

What a beautiful sunrise in #Pittbsurgh this morning. The last three days have been some of my favorite in regards to photography over the last six months, from the heavy snow, to the cleanup yesterday, and then the beautiful sky this morning.

What a day in #Pittsburgh today, as the city is in the middle of a storm getting more snow than we've had in over 15 years. I was out around 5:00 before the roads got really bad, and it was amazing to see the snow falling on the city. I'll have so many to share, but these are some early favorites.

The calm before the storm? We had a beautiful sunrise over #Pittsburgh this morning, with the vibrant pink clouds reflecting in the frozen Allegheny River. Should be really interesting to see what this view looks like tomorrow...

Struck out on the Northern Lights in #pittsburgh last night but just after sunset today they sure put on a show. Absolutely amazing to see these over the city…they were so bright and visible to the naked eye. Can’t wait to share more.

Yesterdays's sunrise in #Pittsburgh was one of those two for the price of one type deals. At first there were high clouds over the city that caught some early morning color, but then more clouds moved in and the bottom edge of them looked like it was on fire.

The fireworks before the Steelers game in #Pittsburgh tonight looked amazing, and the Duquesne Incline was an incredible vantage point. Let’s hope the show inside the stadium tonight is just as good!

It’s a Steelers Playoff game day and #pittsburgh was lit up black and gold in preparation for the game tonight. It’s gonna be a cold, tough game but I’m calling Steelers 20-14. They just don’t lose at home on Monday Night Football.

Ice on the river. Freezing temperatures in #Pittsburgh. Amazing fireworks before the Steeler game. And a battle on the North Shore to decide the AFC North. Couldn’t ask for anything more. Here we go.

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year! Thank you all so much for for the support this year, truly so lucky to have to get to share #pittsburgh with so many of you. These are some of my favorite images from last year and can’t wait to see what 2026 will bring.

The whitecaps on the Allegheny River today in #pittsburgh right now are insane. The wind is actually making the river look like it’s flowing the opposite direction. Just wild.

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!

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.

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.
