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!

Erin and I were blessed to be a part of Adam and Lindsey’s incredible wedding weekend extravaganza in Cook Forest, PA.  It’s one thing to photograph a wedding, it’s a completely different experience to photograph an entire weekend destination wedding in one of the most beautiful corners of Pennsylvania.  It was an honor and a privilege to be a part of it.  Adam and Lindsey are an amazing couple and if you’re in the Pittsburgh area I encourage you to get to know them by stopping by the Acoustic Moose Cafe in Bellevue (their cafe and my second office!).

Beautiful setting + Beautiful people = one of the most beautiful weddings we’ve ever been a part of.

Here’s a sampling of the gallery.

Went for a ride around the city the other day.  Here are a few of my favorite images from the day.  A few are from Lawrenceville and one’s from just down the road from my home in Bellevue.  I love the eclectic feel of Pittsburgh.  Every where you look there’s different style of architecture and design.  It never gets boring wandering around the ‘Burgh!

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!
