  • Makeup, Metal and Self Portraits

    Makeup, Metal and Self Portraits

    Creativity sure takes us different places doesn’t it? The last venture I had with Self Portraits was this: The Crow Shane Mahoney, a fellow yinzer and Photographer from Pittsburgh helped me with that set. I still use them today for certain profiles. It was so fun walking around Pittsburgh dressed up like that. I sure…

  • Photos of Extortionist, Distinguisher and Rings of Saturn | Blind Tiger, Greensboro, NC

    Photos of Extortionist, Distinguisher and Rings of Saturn | Blind Tiger, Greensboro, NC

    I haven’t had the opportunity of doing live venue photography since 2018 in Pittsburgh at Black Forge Coffee. I brought my camera along to see Extortionist, Distinguisher and Rings of Saturn at The Blind Tiger in Greensboro, North Carolina. They had no issues with the camera and I had front stage view with a really unique angle…

  • It’s Been 20 Years Since I Shot Film | 35mm Scans

    It’s Been 20 Years Since I Shot Film | 35mm Scans

    35mm Film | Looking Back I first started shooting 35mm film back in my sophomore year of High School. I remember my dad finding a floor model of a Canon Rebel k2 SLR from Best Buy where he worked, and it ripped. I loved that camera. Everyone else had vintage Canon AE’s, Minoltas or Pentax…

  • The Old Queen | Rusty Chain

    Summer is never really my ideal time to get outdoors with the Camera. It’s often humid, hot, and you can’t just take the camera out for a bit. You need supplies to survive the heat and those take up more space. Since I’ve gotten my BMX bike, I prefer to take the camera in my…

  • Summer Sun | Texas Edition

    Summer Sun | Texas Edition

    The photos are slowing down, but I’m still taking pictures. This Summer has been so hot, and lots of changes have been happening to keep me busy. Moving, Swapping Cameras, Traveling, Work, and Beekeeping have been more of a priority. I’ve been shooting a lot of Film on my Pentax ME Super with a cheap…

  • Infrared Series | Starting Somewhere

    Since spring started, I had the ambition to try some Infrared Photography. I think it was in part to expand how my black and whites are done, but also because of some of the work Noe Alonzo (Noealz) has done. It led me to create my own Infrared Series. Part of the reason digital photography…

  • The Contrast of Old and New | Time Traveling

    One of the most captivating things about photography is seeing how time can change the soul of a town. I recently visited Galveston, Texas. A town established in 1825, only to be wrecked by one of the most horrific port storms in 1900. It used to serve as the capital of the Republic of Texas,…

  • Fall Photography | Autumn in Pittsburgh

    Traditional Pittsburgh Fall Every year after I painstakingly put myself through summer, I’m 100% ready for fall. The season of autumn is our favorite, so we try to hit up local farms for pumpkins, gain several pounds on pies, bread, and hot chocolate.. We celebrate our Anniversary, and we look forward to getting cold and…

  • I Went To The Poconos | Mistakes Were Made

    Keya started her week with utmost glee when she found out she won a ticket raffle to tour the filming location of Friday the 13th (1980) with Crystal Lake Tours. Being the horror super fan she is, she bought the tickets, booked a place in the Poconos close to Hardwick Township, and awarded herself a…
