Kind of a heavy edit, but one of my favorite family portraits I’ve taken. A too-hot fall day at Bauman Orchard.

I’ve had a few dogs over my 45 years on the planet, but Abbie might be my biggest challenge. Good thing she’s so pretty :) First picture on an iPhone 17 Pro.

Working on #ICM shots two weeks ago at Sharon Speedway. Definitely a work in progress.

This is the safety fence at Sharon Speedway in #Ohio.

Being at a dirt track watching sprint cars roar around a track takes me back to one of the few memories I have of early childhood- a rare joy of youth that I can share with my kids.

This is one of the things I love most about #Akron- this is the view from the #towpath ten minutes' walk from downtown.

Saw this beauty in #Hudson, #Ohio a couple weeks back. It got me thinking about how we're essentially making these, but as golf carts.

If not for regulatory capture, we could have a ton of cheap, very easy-to-drive small EVs for city use that would be exceptionally fun.

Met this fine doggo when my kids were at the park a few days ago. His human was nice enough to let the kids pet “Bluey” for a few minutes, and I got a couple great shots. #photography #dogs #sonya7iii #bluey #blueheeler

It's Thursday, so I'm posting the only photo trend I routinely keep up with: #UrbanGaze. Today, we have the near-ubiquitous cell tower, but I gave it a pop art color treatment, because it's damn close to #monocolor. This one is on top of the #CuyahogaFalls water tower.

Do we want to call it #WingWednesday? I took this a few days ago, and it’s been a nice #lockscreen / #wallpaper on the iPad.

If anyone wants a high-res download, let me know!

This is kind of rough- working on getting used to the handling of a new 150MM-500MM lens. It's a bit of a beast- almost 4 pounds- but I'll get used to it.

I got a few of my favorite recent pictures with a #DJI Osmo Pocket 3. It’s not the best for stills- the iPhone I have is likely better, but I love these shots, and they’re 100% straight out of the camera with no edits.

It’s late, but happy #MacroMonday! I have 2 shots of #dandelion, #reddeadnettle [with a little ant peaking out!], and some #concrete.

Everything today was shot on an #iPhone14Pro with a Moment #macro lens.

Mine certainly aren’t framed as elegantly, but I shot these in downtown Kent, Ohio:

It’s Thursday, so time for an #UrbanGaze image. This is a real #iykyk for #Akron / #CuyahogaFalls. Construction of Cathedral Tower began in 1971, and essentially ended incomplete in 1972, with the tower being sold in 1989 for $30K.
