After three 12-hour days in a row of photographing sports outside in roasting heat and 70% humidity, this is how I feel. My lips are sunburned. My eyes are bloodshot. My leg had a run-in with a stinging flying insect that left a mark. I loved it. #usgaa #gaa #sports #photography #sportsphotography

I had the best time in Philly this weekend, shooting the 2025 USGAA Finals. I'm a retired camogie player and love staying involved in the sport here in the U.S. I am thrilled to be the USGAA official photographer for many years now. #sports #photography #sportsphotography #usgaa #gaa #camogie

Tuned into the Red Sox game, as is my wont, to discover it’s an all woman broadcast crew for the first time ever on NESN. Emma Tiedemann and Alanna Rizzo are killing it. (Or, as I’m watching on delay, have killed it.) Plus: all woman field reporters, photographers, producers.

I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, that’s all about finding out what works for specific sensory needs and how to customize food for them. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience necessary.

Hurling: like soccer but uses big wooden bats and a baseball-like ball while only wearing head protection. #hurling #allireland #sportsphotography

Have you ever thought to yourself: soccer would be more interesting if they could use their hands... and all the players were given wooden axes they could use to score football-style field goals with a baseball from anywhere on the field? Me, too! Welcome to hurling! www.gaa.ie/videos/tippe...

As it's the #AllIrelandHurlingFinal today here's a sporting warrior from another age. The gravestone of Magnus Mac Orristin in Clonca Church on Donegal's Inishowen Peninsula. The depiction of a sword alongside a stick & ball illustrates how sport was deeply ingrained with medieval warrior culture

Folks, look who I'm with

Hello, today is my Birthday! ✨And the best gift for an artist is a retweet of his artworks 🍃🌿

My little friend. Nature is the best artist.

Science is an economic driver in Hamilton, Mont., thanks to Rocky Mountain Laboratories, a federal research lab. Now, layoffs and funding cuts are having an impact in this town far from Washington.

Photographing huge sunflower fields on the Colorado eastern plains is utopia for any photographer. In this scene I was fortunate enough to encounter an incoming thunderstorm at sunset to add some really heavy drama & atmosphere to the image. #landscape #landscapephotography #photography #Colorado

I watched as a couple of birds fought for this twig. The victor doesn't seem to pleased. #birds #wildlife #nature #photography #protectnature #conservation #birdphotography

Yes!!! Nice to see Rory get the win!

I love my job. Check out these shots from the NCGAA "Knees that Craic" over-40 tournament raising funds for college Irish sports programs in the U.S. More photos available at www.wickedshamrockphotography.com #photos #photography #sportsphotography #hurling #gaelicfootball #NCGAA

Have you ever taken a photo that you were so excited to see if it turned out that you just left? This is, unquestionably, unequivocally the best unedited image I have ever taken. 100% unmanipulated. No filters, no edits—just pure, incredible timing. #birds #photography #photo #EastCoastKin #heron

The neverending spiral of being an artist on social media: *Have a cool idea* *See someone else execute cool idea better than you think you can* *Never attempt cool idea* Take this as a sign to try the cool idea anyway. Do it out of spite if you must. No one makes art quite like you. 💚 #Art

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Stunning Las Vegas sunset on Feb 1, 2025. #sunset #lasvegas

Wow! Look at those feathers!

Love this! 🤣

Malcolm Gladwell’s Revenge of the Tipping Point covers very similar themes! Sports photography is a male-dominated field - but I’ve observed more women fighting for a shot.

We're featuring an episode from NPR's science podcast Short Wave about what happens in our brains during conflict: Why it tempts us to shut down, and how we can navigate difficult conversations—political or otherwise—without losing control.

The Icelandic pop star Björk's new installation at Centre Pompidou in Paris uses animal sounds to help people understand what's lost and what we stand to lose as a result of human-caused climate change.

I love mixing it up - making photography into something less focused (pun intended).

Autumn camping is the best, especially with my best pal! This was from a few weeks ago.

This is an incredible photo of my spirit animal.

The Guesthouse - Rumi

One of the giants in the fire service is gone. His voice advocating for mental health support for emergency responders is quiet now, but his message isn’t lost. His love for his fellow men and women endures in our memories. John McMahon has left the room, but his message remains. Thank you, friend.
