My First NFL Shoot: Seahawks Trounce 49ers

On Sunday night, I got the opportunity to shoot my first NFL game. And man it was a fun one! It was a battle between numbers 1 and 2 in the NFC West. San Francisco was looking to clinch the Division title with a win while Seattle was seeking a …

Random Italy Photo: I Tetti Fiorentini

My latest Random Italy Photo goes back to when my love affair with Italy really got started – April, 2002. I’ll leave the story of that journey for another day. But this was the view from my sister-in-law and her boyfriend’s small apartment, overlooking the rooftops of Florence. Follow @mikerussellfoto …

Miracle Finish Eludes Sounders, LA Advance to MLS Cup Final

On Sunday night, the Sounders fell just short of pulling off a miracle. Though for a while there, it looked like they might actually do it. They had a two goal lead with more than 30 minutes left to play. Then, after a somewhat questionable penalty call, Robbie Keane dashed …

Project 365: Days 350-368?

I’ve discovered another one of the problems about not posting my Project 365 photos on a more regular basis – I seem to be missing some days. I started on November 14, 2011, so in theory November 13 should have been day 366 (given it’s a leap year). Now, true …

Random Italy Photo: Biciclette Reggiane

The province of Emilia-Romagna — land of Prosciutto di Parma, Parmigiano-Reggiano, aged balsamico. And bicycles? The town of Reggio Emilia is situated right between Parma and Modena. You won’t find any hilltowns in this part of Italy. In fact, there aren’t any hills at all. Because it’s so flat, people …

Project 365: Days 336-349

Here’s another round of Project 365 photos. And now I’m almost caught up on posting them. This takes me through October 31, which means after today I only have 11 more days before I reach 365! I think it may be time to start thinking about how I’m going to …

Sounders, RSL Scoreless After 1st Semifinal Leg

This could easily have been called the Nick Rimando show. He was simply amazing. The Sounders had several good shots on frame, but none of them made it past the Real Salt Lake keeper. Though he was kept slightly less busy, Seattle Sounders keeper, Michael Gspurning, also put on quite …

Project 365: Days 322-335

Here are another two weeks of Project 365 photos. I really need to get on top of catching up. I only have another two weeks of shooting before I’m done, and I still have quite the backlog! So, without anything further, here are days 322-335… Follow @mikerussellfoto Day 322: Whispy …

MOCA Cleveland – Hometown Pride

On October 14th, only a few days after its opening, I visited the Museum of Contemporary Art in my hometown of Cleveland, OH. Designed by architect Farshid Moussavi, the building is quite stunning. The polished steel and glass, with oddly angled walls, make it a piece of art on its …

Random Italy Photo: Castello Scaligero di Sirmione

Castello Scaligero

This week’s Random Italy Photo is from a trip to the Veneto in 2005. More specifically, at Castello Scaligero in Sirmione on Lake Garda. I was definitely into “framing” my shots back then (like in my Palazzo Pubblico shot from Siena). It would be interesting to shoot this again today. …
