Dang, Steve, I’d almost given up (as you probably can tell by how long it took me to find this), and then you come back with this. So, so good.

I am the only independent media person here. @davekallmann.bsky.social is shooting for us 📷 Good reason to subscribe to the Journal Sentinel if you're a #Bucks fan subscribe.jsonline.com/offers?gps-s...

A little music after hockey is always fun. Parmalee following @mkeadmirals.bsky.social vs. Henderson Silver Knights 3/28/26

Just a couple of redheads enjoying an early dinner.

Making up for lost time on Bluesky buy sharing some semi-recent few photos. Here's one that's not to everyone's taste, and that's OK. One-fifth second exposure of a ski jumper reaching the point of takeoff during training for the Continental Cup meet in Iron Mountain, Michigan.

Making up for lost time on Bluesky with what seems like a photo dump but really is just meant to be some of my favorites from the past couple of months. Here's an Anna's hummingbird in Fountain Hills, Arizona, from February.

I got into a stretch of a social media saturation and neglected Bluesky, so now I'll probably overshare for a bit. Here's a favorite from a recent Dropkick Murphy's concert in Milwaukee.

Latest episode of our Badgers podcast, Terrace View, features a great conversation with @nicolehaase.bsky.social looking at the ins and outs of the Wisconsin women's hockey team and UW's massive Olympics presence. audioboom.com/posts/885431...

Hung with about 60 like-minded photographers and one really accommodating short-eared owl for an hour before dusk 12/17/25 in rural Calumet County, Wisconsin. #birds

Peaceful autumn evening in the Horicon National Wildlife Refuge near Waupun, Wisconsin.

Hard rocks, raging waterfall and one little tree.

The Beam at the Bean. This morning in Millennium Park

I've been waiting for years for moonrise to line up like this over downtown Milwaukee from this spot, eight miles away, so long that I pretty much forgot about it. Not sure why I thought to look for the time and location today, but I'm glad I did.

Sailing at Sunset. Blazing setting sun made a magical moment on this day in 2021 over Chicago's Lake Michigan.

In Crandon, Wisconsin, there’s a country band playing in the middle of the afternoon on a side street after a Labor Day parade. Who joins in but @nascar.com truck champ Mike Skinner. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Messing around with the Milky Way in northern Wisconsin. I predict I'll have something better by the end of the weekend.

sports photographers are magic

Aurora borealis with star trails in northern Wisconsin (coincidentally not far from a town named Aurora).

Some scenes just don't make sense, like a Scottish Highland cow peeking out of the spruce trees along the edge of a farm field in northern Wisconsin.

A couple of looks at the same sunset. Keyes Lake, Florence, Wisconsin.

60-mile sunset. Day's end this weekend in Chicago in 2016.

Went to a sprint car race, came home with an inspirational story. www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Haven’t posted in too long, but the newest grandpup is too adorable to not share.

Some quick phone edits of an evening visit. Ruby-throated hummingbirds, 6/8/25, Florence, Wisconsin.

Hey, as long as we're building that motorsports community, let's have a couple of photos from High Limit Racing sprint cars at Wisconsin's 141 Speedway, a track I hadn't visited until my 36th season of covering racing in the state.

Not sure there's much of an auto racing presence here so I rarely share that here (self-fulfilling prophecy, right?) but this is one of those stories that transcends a particular sport. It's a win for the little guy and could be one of the feel-good stories of the year in racing.

The setting sun reflects off buildings across midtown Manhattan in New York City, Sunday evening #newyorkcity #nyc #newyork @empirestatebldg.bsky.social #sunset

My Indy tradition is to go birding the day before the 500. #Birds

Milwaukee isn’t the sort of place American avocets normally hang out, but this year like last a small flock has made a brief stop during spring migration. #birds

My once-a-year opportunity to photograph international ski jumping in Iron Mountain, Michigan. Always looking for at least one different shot from the year before. #PhotographersUnited
