Hello, Pittsburgh There seem to be two distinct impressions of Pittsburgh in conversations I’ve had surrounding my recent, short trip to the city. You either think of Pittsburgh as “that place that won ‘most livable city’ a couple years ago, right?” Or, you think of Pittsburgh as a floundering city six decades on, one that […]
Check out all the images on one page. I love travel by train, and spent the five hour trip between Copenhagen and Stockholm alternating between working on pictures and napping. The trick is to get reserved seats; it might be a little more expensive, but it’s clear what train is yours…and you’re guaranteed a seat. […]
Copenhagen, at least to me, has always seemed like one of those places that’s just far away enough to be on another planet. I know it’s there (and even where “there” is), but rarely do people I know travel to the city, and it’s almost never in the news. So, up until our recent trip, […]

Honoring the veterans of WWII, the Arsenal of Democracy flyover was held on the 70th anniversary of Victory in Europe day. The once-in-a-lifetime event featured dozens of different aircraft flying over Washington DC is a variety of formations. I was fortunate to have a slightly different, but excellent, angle on the planes as they flew […]
The 2015 DC Funk Parade was held on May 2nd and featured a huge variety of performances and activities. It was one of the most fun celebrations of community I’ve been able to attend in DC. I spent time at the incredibly high energy performance by local favorite, The Junkyard Band, and then walked the […]
Triathlons are pretty awesome. It takes a heck of a lot of endurance and coordination to complete three different sports in a row–swimming, biking and running (note that the order is most-to-least-likely to die). [Show slideshow] 1 2 3 ► Doing a tri can take anywhere from about 60 minutes to several hours, depending […]
