Schuljak Portraits

December 21, 2010

The Schuljak family called me a week ago looking for some last minute Christmas portraits taken on Mt. Washington overlooking the Pittsburgh skyline. Flying in from Texas, the family was only going to be in Pittsburgh for a few days so there weren’t many options when it came to opportunities to shoot. We picked a day and prayed the weather would cooperate. Well, as you will see, the whether didn’t exactly cooperate, but I think it made the portraits that much more eye catching. What do you think?

Veterans’ Day Service, National Cemetery of the Alleghenies, 11 November 2010

November 17, 2010

I had the pleasure of shooting the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies’ Veterans’ Day Service last week. This sacred space, located just south of Pittsburgh, is especially important to me not only because of the patriots who rest here, but because my own grandfather was buried in this cemetery. It was an absolutely beautiful day and a fantastic service. Congratulations to my friend and colleague Jon Meier for putting together such a reverent and special service honoring all who have sacrificially served our nation.

mmmm…cookies!

October 20, 2010

A friend asked me to photograph some of his mom’s famous cookies for a book of recipes he’s putting together. Never in my photographic journey have I been tempted to eat the subjects of my photography. I’m sure you can see why.

Improve the Vue

October 15, 2010

I enjoy photographing pretty much anything, but there’s nothing like photographing people voluntarily working to improve their community. Hundreds came out to Bellevue’s “Improve the Vue.” Sadly I was only able to stick around for a few hours, but here’s a sample of the shots I was able to capture in the little bit of time I was able to be there.
