Monongahela, Pennsylvania resident 📍Capturing the beauty and uniqueness of cities, towns and landmarks up and down the Mon Valley, a little bit of Pittsburgh, and sometimes other cool places I visit and vacation to! 📸

10/29/2026

This evening, I went down to Downtown Mon City to watch the Halloween parade with my wife and our daughter along West Main Street, but before the parade, I walked up 3rd Street and took some shots of the Halloween display that Angelo's II Monongahela puts up every year, but for some compositions to create some angles I don't think I've ever captured this display from! I got these shots just in time, just as the golden hour evening light was setting on the valleys-side, allowing the beautiful fall foliage to glow in the background of the restaurant, which is exactly what I was going for! I'll have to get some morning shots of this display as well, but I had been wanting to get these shots, so here they are! This is one of the best public Halloween displays in all of the Mon Valley, and I look forward to seeing this display every year! I captured some images during the Halloween parade as well, so stay tuned for those a bit later. Enjoy!

Good evening, everyone! Wanted to hopefully get back to posting regularly again, but kick it off with something a little different, before I get back to my Mon Valley images. Taking it back to a few weeks ago, when my wife and I went up to Vermont to visit my sister and brother-in-law, and our nieces. when northeast Vermont was at it's peak in what was some of the most gorgeous fall foliage I've ever seen! This shot was taken one late morning, as we drove up to near the top of Burke Mountain, near the town of Burke, Vermont. There was a ski lift up over this mountain, with an observation tower at the very top, and I was able to capture this four-image panorama from there! the observation tower was originally an old fire tower, where people once had the job of looking for wildfires across the landscape. The elevation at the top of this mountain from the ground is 3,267 feet, with a base elevation of about 1,267 feet.

What I love about this shot is how full the fall foliage is, and the vastness of the mountain landscape, with the vibrant colors with various shades of yellows, oranges, reds, browns, and with scattered evergreens mixed in. The shadows of the clouds across the landscape were pretty interesting and added a unique element to this composition. It was truly an incredible scene, and I have quite a few more images to share with you all from our long weekend trip a few weeks ago, so stay tuned for those. Enjoy!

NOW BOOKING SENIOR PHOTO SESSIONS!!! 🎓

Hello everyone! I am excited to announce that I will now be booking senior photo sessions! I am very excited to launch this service, and I hope to give you great quality images that you can cherish forever! I got creative with my package names, as I wanted to maintain my brand being in the Mon Valley, so each shoot is relating to steel, and the components that make up steel!

Also, for those wondering, I will still be sharing lots of landscape images in my regular posts, but this service is an addition to those posts, which I have used to build my brand of photography capturing scenes up and down the Mon Valley over the last few years.

Here is some info on how my shoots will operate, and what you can expect for a senior shoot:

1. Service Area: Serving the Mon Valley, Pittsburgh, and surrounding areas!

2. Primary Booking Days: Fridays and Saturdays, but if you need a different day, I'm willing to work something out with you!

3. There will be a $25 fee if I am required to travel 20+ miles to do your shoot.

4. Each shoot will have a few, to several duplicate digital edits in black and white of some of my favorite images from your shoot, that you will receive with the other colored digital edits.

5. You get to choose a location of your choice for your shoot (i.e. hometown/backyard, school, park, etc.)

6. Payment Method Preferred: Cash, checks, or Venmo. Payment is due at time of shoot, allowing up to one week for me to edit your photos, and you will receive your digital edits via email, in a zipped file.

7. Please Leave me a positive review on Facebook if you enjoyed your shoot, and were satisfied with your images!

8. NO REFUNDS! If you are not satisfied with your images, you can leave me a Facebook review saying as such, as that is within your rights.

9. Rain Date Policy: I will be more than willing to reschedule a shoot in a timely fashion should rain require a shoot to be postponed, and we can come up with a makeup date for the shoot that works for the both of us!

10. Pets are welcome, both large and small for ALL photo shoot packages!

11. Primary ways of contacting me:

Cell # : 724-531-9733 (text or calls are acceptable)

While this isn't Big Boy passing through, I thought I'd switch it up and share an image I took of a Norfolk Southern locomotive rolling through West Homestead, about 20 minutes before Big Boy 4014 traveled through. I also had one of my followers reach out to me asking if I had captured the train right before Big Boy came through, because his brother was the conductor of this one, so for that follower that asked, this one is for you!

It's always fun when I'm out capturing various subjects up and down the Mon Valley, and some of my followers reach out to me with fun stories of how the photos I share relate to them personally, and sometimes I end up capturing conductors or towboat captains that follow my page, so I always use those opportunities for fun conversations with my fellow followers. I still really like this shot as well, as this freight train travels through as the crowds of people anxiously await for Big Boy's arrival through West Homestead, they greeted this Norfolk Southern locomotive with some friendly waves. Enjoy!

Good evening, everyone, I hope you've all enjoyed my images of Big Boy 4014 the last couple of days! Here is a slightly different image from a slightly different distance than what I've shared in the previous two images (one was closer and one was farther away), and a sort of different rendition on this composition, in black and white! I've seen a few other photographers put their images of Big Boy in black and white so I wanted to see how mine would look if I made one of my own images like that, and I think it turned out great! I think it really adds a more nostalgic look and an almost accurate scene from the time period that steam engines like this would have been used in everyday life (minus the modern vehicles and modern utility poles).

Hopefully most of you aren't bored of seeing this beautiful piece of history yet, because myself, and probably quite a few other photographers out there probably still have quite a few more images to share with their respective followers, so here is another shot of Big Boy 4014 rolling through West Homestead from this past Saturday. I'll post the colored version of this one in the comments. Enjoy!

Big Boy 4014 Rounding the Bend towards the Homestead Pennsylvania Railroad Station in West Homestead, PA! I was busy photographing it, but here’s a video my dad took on his phone, that I thought you all would enjoy!

07/12/2026

Thank you all for all of the likes, shares, comments, and even some of your own images that you shared in the comments on my image from last night of Big Boy 4014! I have several more images to share with you from yesterday evening, so here is one from about the same angle as the image I shared with you all yesterday, this time, just from a tad bit farther away, which I think shows it's massive size in comparison to the people surrounding it even more so than the image I already shared with you all yesterday!

It was just such a cool experience to witness, and I am excited to share another image of it with you all! I try to imagine back decades ago, when large steam locomotives like this one would have been traveling up and down the Mon Valley and in and out of Pittsburgh on a regular basis. What a time that must have been to have seen! I still have lots more to share with you all from yesterday evening of Big Boy 4014, so stay tuned for those. Enjoy!
