Scott KissingerFlamingo at the National Aviary in Pittsburgh. Walked right up. No zoom needed — just pure confidence and zero personal space.
Nature always has another story waiting.
Portal Bridge at Point State Park in Pittsburgh. Repeating arches and curves — pure geometry. Had to shoot it in black and white.
A quick pause can reveal a lot.
Bull moose bedded down in the willows below the Alpine Visitor Center in RMNP. Those antlers are hard to miss, even from the road.
Wild moments like this are why I keep the camera ready.
F/A-18 Super Hornet banking overhead at the Great Colorado Air Show. The wear and exhaust staining on the underside tell their own story.
If you know an aviation nerd, send this their way.
Fence post near La Veta — picked an angle to isolate one of the Spanish Peaks in the background. Sharp up close, soft in the distance.
The quiet details are always worth noticing.
Burrowing owl at the National Aviary in Pittsburgh. Tiny bird, full-sized attitude.
Encounters like this never get old.
Milky Way between the pines at Bandelier National Monument. Skies dark enough to see it with your eyes — the camera just pulls out more.
There’s always another view waiting somewhere.
Thunderbirds F-16 pulling into a climbing turn at the Great Colorado Air Show. Over 40 years on this airframe and it still owns the sky.
Precision and motion always make a compelling scene.
BP Pedestrian Bridge in Chicago, curving through fresh snow toward the Pritzker Pavilion. In town for my son’s theater auditions.
Scenes like this stay with you long after the trip ends.
Fence line near La Veta — two posts leading the eye into rangeland that just keeps going. Grass and sky all the way to the horizon.
Landscapes like this make the journey memorable.
