In 2023, I captured a close-up frontal view of a snow leopard. That fellow has since passed. This year I photographed a close-up of his lovely companion, & while she wasn't looking directly at me, she is still so very lovely. 💖 📸 Nikon D850 #photography #snowleopard #wildlife #nature #animals #nikon

A close-up photograph of a snow leopard's face, turned partially away from the viewer. There is a lot of fur texture and the eyes are sharp and highlighted. The background is blurred, and the leopard's face takes up most of the frame.

✨liminal spaces✨ Stumbled upon this spooky little scene in the basement of an abandoned hospital. We were there on a paranormal investigation! 📸 Nikon D850 #photography #photosky #photographers #digitalphotography #nikon #spooky #creepy #horror #art #ghosts #liminalspace #urbandecay #urbex #ghost

A photo of a weathered rocking horse in the basement of an abandoned hospital. A flashlight is shining on the rocking horse, illuminating it sitting on some dirty maroon-colored carpet. Behind it in the shadows is hospital equipment. The light barely shows the decaying, decrepit walls, with water damage and peeling wallpaper. There is what appears to be a sink in the far back corner.

Wishing Astaroth a very happy 10th Gotcha Day over the Rainbow Bridge today. 10 years ago today, we welcomed a little demon potato floof home - 10 years later, he may not be on Earth anymore, but he's still my baby boy. He'll always be my baby. #photography #dogs #dogsofbluesky #australianshepherd

A photograph of a red merle Australian Shepherd named Astaroth standing in a creek bed, surrounded by rocks and water and fallen logs. He is approaching the viewer and has one paw lifted into the air, his eyes are glittery and he looks excited but a little apprehensive. The backdrop is moss-covered logs and vivid green foliage blurred into a bokeh background.

I never would have anticipated this would be the last photography session I'd get to do with him, but I'm glad I have some images of him in his double-digits, even if he barely got to live them. #photography #dogphoto #australianshepherd #aussie #dogphotography #nikon #dogs #dogsky #dogsofbluesky

A photograph of a red merle Australian Shepherd named Astaroth standing on a dirt path in the woods of Kentucky. He is surrounded on either side by vivid green foliage and a few light purple wild flowers. There are sticks and logs on the ground both at his feet and behind him, and he is framed by vine-covered trees. He is standing in the center with his ears perked up looking off to the side of the frame.

Rest in Peace, Astaroth. 💔 April 10 2016 - May 21 2026 Lost my baby dog yesterday. We tried really hard but things were just too severe, we let him go to save him the pain. We’re heartbroken. He had just turned 10 last month. 😞 #dogs #dogloss #grief #photography #australianshepherd #petloss

This fellow is a Ruppell’s Griffon Vulture, I believe, and he was one of my favorite subjects to photograph. Vultures are rad as hell! 📸 Nikon D850 #photography #birds #vulture #birdphotography #ruppellsvulture #wildlife #nature #photographer #photosky #birdsky #zoo #nikon #animals

Moody vibe for your Monday melancholies. Mexican gray wolf at the Cincinnati Zoo, a similar shot to one I'd posted before but a more dramatic edit. #photography #wolf #mexicanwolf #wolves #photographer #nikon #wildlife #photosky #nature #cincinnati #zoo #canine #digitalphotography #animals

A photograph of a young female Mexican wolf standing behind some foliage partially obscuring her. The leaves in the foreground are out of focus and blurred - the focus is on her face peeking through the breaks in the leaves, her eyes sharp and in focus. She is turned partially away from the viewer and her eye is framed by the bush she is standing behind. The background behind her and the leaves surrounding her are both a smoky blueish gray hue.

Posting these very quickly, portraits I took in 2023 of one of the snow leopards from Cincinnati Zoo. Unfortunately, I believe this handsome fellow has since passed away, but he gave me a magnificent moment that I'm glad to have documented. #photography #snowleopard #bigcats #photosky #leopard

I started taking photos to preserve memories of my pets. Sometimes the less-than-perfect candid shots make me feel more than the perfect, posed ones. Moxie wanting to play with her big brother Astaroth, but not willing to put down her ball. 💖 #dogs #photography #dogphotography #dogsofbluesky #photo

A photo of a brown and white brindle bully puppy with an orange ball fully in her mouth, leaning heavily into a red merle Australian Shepherd dog who is turned away from her, burying her face in his fluff but keeping the ball in her mouth.
