Will you give Elliot Ness credit for keeping you on task in your book? I feel like your faithful raccoon guardian deserves a mention. 😂

Doesn’t get better than that.

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.

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

Photo of young woman in white shorts and blue athletic top swinging a hurl, a long wooden flat bat that is wider at the end to hit a ball called a slitter, while wearing a helmet and face guard.

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.

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.

Bird sounds.

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

Tipperary v Cork Highlights

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!

The gravestone depicting a sword and an early version of a hurley or shinty type stick with a ball.

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

Anyone here remember diagramming sentences?

Folks, look who I'm with

Hello, today is my Birthday! ✨And the best gift for an artist is a retweet of his artworks 🍃🌿

My little friend. Nature is the best artist.

I’m here for the photography.

A photograph of a large sunflower field in Colorado awaits the coming rains as a thunderstorm begins to roll in.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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. 💚
