After three 12-hour days in a row of photographing sports outside in roasting heat and 70% humidity, this is how I feel. My lips are sunburned. My eyes are bloodshot. My leg had a run-in with a stinging flying insect that left a mark. I loved it. #usgaa #gaa #sports #photography #sportsphotography
A male athlete laying on his back on the ground, with the backs of his hands touching his his eyes. He's wearing a San Diego Setanta top and black Adidas shorts with his knees up. The camera angle is from the ground looking across the ground at the top of the individual's head which is laying on the grass.

I had the best time in Philly this weekend, shooting the 2025 USGAA Finals. I'm a retired camogie player and love staying involved in the sport here in the U.S. I am thrilled to be the USGAA official photographer for many years now. #sports #photography #sportsphotography #usgaa #gaa #camogie

Tuned into the Red Sox game, as is my wont, to discover it’s an all woman broadcast crew for the first time ever on NESN. Emma Tiedemann and Alanna Rizzo are killing it. (Or, as I’m watching on delay, have killed it.) Plus: all woman field reporters, photographers, producers.

I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, that’s all about finding out what works for specific sensory needs and how to customize food for them. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience necessary.
Color Taste Texture by Matthew Broberg-Moffitt: 9780593538593 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books
An accessible family cookbook that offers solutions rather than tricks to empower the food-averse, autistic, and picky eater, with 46 recipes. This much-needed cookbook combines tips and techniques.....

Bird sounds.
A four panel comic titled Bird Sounds. In panel 1, labeled thrush, a wood thrush sings its beautiful eeohlay song against a forest background. In panel 2, labeled wren, a winter wren delicately sings tweedly tweedly tweedly. In panel 3, labeled warbler, a yellow warbler delicately sings sweet sweet. In panel 4, labeled heron in a death metal font, a heron screams KRAAGH against a background of fire.

Hurling: like soccer but uses big wooden bats and a baseball-like ball while only wearing head protection. #hurling #allireland #sportsphotography

Have you ever thought to yourself: soccer would be more interesting if they could use their hands... and all the players were given wooden axes they could use to score football-style field goals with a baseball from anywhere on the field?

Me, too!

Welcome to hurling!

As it's the #AllIrelandHurlingFinal today here's a sporting warrior from another age.

The gravestone of Magnus Mac Orristin in Clonca Church on Donegal's Inishowen Peninsula.

The depiction of a sword alongside a stick & ball illustrates how sport was deeply ingrained with medieval warrior culture
The gravestone depicting a sword and an early version of a hurley or shinty type stick with a ball.

Photographing huge sunflower fields on the Colorado eastern plains is utopia for any photographer. In this scene I was fortunate enough to encounter an incoming thunderstorm at sunset to add some really heavy drama & atmosphere to the image.

I watched as a couple of birds fought for this twig. The victor doesn't seem to pleased.

A small bird with a brown body and blue head sits on a branch next to a bud. In its beak is a small twig. Looking straight toward the camera gives the bird an angry appearance

Have you ever taken a photo that you were so excited to see if it turned out that you just left?

This is, unquestionably, unequivocally the best unedited image I have ever taken. 100% unmanipulated. No filters, no edits—just pure, incredible timing.

A striking close-up of a Great Blue Heron, its sharp yellow eye gazing intently to the right. The heron's long, vibrant orange beak extends gracefully, contrasting with the soft, intricate layers of gray and white feathers covering its body. Delicate black plumes extend from the back of its head, adding to its regal appearance. The background is a mesmerizing blur of circular bokeh, created by light filtering through branches and reflecting off the water, giving the scene a dreamy, almost magical atmosphere. The heron stands still, exuding an air of quiet confidence and elegance. This is an unedited, raw capture, showcasing the bird’s natural beauty in stunning detail.

The neverending spiral of being an artist on social media:

*Have a cool idea*
*See someone else execute cool idea better than you think you can*
*Never attempt cool idea*

Take this as a sign to try the cool idea anyway. Do it out of spite if you must. No one makes art quite like you. 💚
