Focused On the Desert?

September 27, 2011

Until some time early next year I am deployed to the desert as part of my service as a Chaplain in the U.S. Air Force.  I desperately miss the people, places, and things of Pittsburgh, but as they say “distance makes the heart grow fonder.”  Even though I’m away from my favorite photographic subject, I continue to work on my photography.  If you would like to see just a small glimpse at what I’m shooting until my return to the Steel City click here.  I appreciate all the support and look forward to getting back home to continue the work of Focused on the Point Photography.

We’ve come to look forward to the annual Brighton Heights Chocolate House Tour.  This year’s tour centered around the Shadeland Avenue neighborhood and included eight homes with a wide variety of features, history, and owners.  Below is a handful of images of interesting finds during the tour.  Enjoy!

It’s been far too long since some “Pittsburgh” images have been uploaded.  Well now that I think it’s safe to say that the snow is done and the ice is officially melted I can assure you I’ll be out and about this great city exploring for some new great photographs to share.  Here are a few from my annual attendance at the Pirates Home Opener.  It was a beautiful day for a game.  Just a shame we lost so badly.  I have a feeling this team will do something special, though.  This may be the team that changes the tide for Pirates baseball.  We shall see…  Either way, it’s good to be back at the ballpark.  Let’s Go Bucs!

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?
