I’m still worried about and tracking progress in Ukraine, but I’m posting about something else today. That doesn’t mean I stopped caring…...
Anyway, here is a video put together from our time at the U.S. Grand Prix in Austin Texas.
I’m very excited about the upcoming F1 season kickoff. Anyone else?
Here is a throwback photo for you. I took this photo during a Shutter Rush weekend at the very beginning of 2020. Jason, Jake and I spent the weekend photographing parts of Baltimore, creating digital content and capped the weekend off by covering the Ravens-Steelers game. When it was all done, we put the photos and videos together to create the “Shutter Rush – Baltimore Edition” documentary which is still available on Amazon Prime. This photo is from our time in West Baltimore. We found this graffiti alley and played with steel wool.
Here is a photo from a year ago, right before the world got locked down. A small group of us (the Shutter Rush Team) went to Gary Indiana to photograph some of their many abandoned buildings. This is an indoor elevated school track around the gym floor below. I liked the leading lines, textures, and mood of the photo.
I’m posting this photo today, because it reflects how I feel right now…. I think I’m just getting tired and it’s been a long year for all of us. I’ll be better tomorrow.
By the way, I captured this photo in August when the Shutter Rush Team (Jason, Blair and I) explored an abandoned performing arts theater in Pittsburgh. The footage from that weekend explore will be in the next Shutter Rush film (currently in production). The first two documentary films are currently streaming on Amazon Prime.
Last weekend, @teamshutterrush (minus one of our members, who will remain unnamed…..Jake!!!!) was in Pittsburgh filming the third episode for our Shutter Rush series on Amazon Prime. If you haven’t watched the first two episodes, please do and while you’re at it, please rate it a “5”.
Anyway, we conducted an urban vehicle shoot with this G Wagon and a bright red Ford 150. I thought the red Ford was ugly, but I know some people will love it and I have to admit, it really popped in the photos. In addition, we completed some cityscape photography, urban exploration and a special photo shoot that is a top-secret surprise we’ll save for the film. Good stuff!!!! It was great to get out with the team and capture some photos since our last Shutter Rush location was photographed/filmed in early March right before the COVID lock downs.
This was my first professional vehicle photo shoot, which was good fun. I’m not super happy with my edits on the photo below, but it was nice learning how to setup the vehicle, lighting and other vehicle photo tips from @jasonpohuski and I look forward to trying this again….

Today’s post is from an abandoned hospital in Gary Indiana. I captured this during the filming of “Shutter Rush – City of Abandonment”. This abandoned hospital is in very rough shape. Interestingly, the other half was converted into a City of Gary Police department. So, we were careful not to draw attention to ourselves. I think this was supply storeroom for their surgical rooms.

No, this isn’t a fireworks photo from this holiday weekend. This photo was created with steel wool inside the boiler room of an abandoned school in Gary Indiana. Jason was spinning while Blair, Jake and I captured photos. This is one of my photos from that moment, which was part of the great Shutter Rush weekend. You can see the documentary of that weekend on Amazon Prime.
