90% of these are 2012, a few 2011 snuck in though.

This is the best thing I've seen all year. Whatever your job is, I want to apply.

Is there anywhere you didn't go over the last year?! Your technical skills are matched only by your artistic creativity. Are you a professional photographer? If not... you definitely could be!

I just had to comment again. Seems only fair since I've returned to this thread 100 times.

Is it possible to buy a print of any of your photos? And do they cost less than a new car?

I would LOVE to buy a print of the first bridge shot, with the Empire State Building (I assume) in the arch. The details of the bridge are so sharp and beautiful... and the buildings framing the shot and... yeah, it's just... perfection. I want it.

Stunning compilation of wonderful shots, like you use to show us, flash!

Although I prefer your colour shots, these old-fashion black and white pictures are superb too. It´s a matter of styles.

Thanks for sharing and greetings from Madrid, Spain!

Ordered. $116.24 (INCLUDING shipping to Canada and taxes) for an AWESOME print. I encourage everyone to go. His prices are worth it.

Thanks for your support, Newfoundlander!

BTW, I'd love to take my wife to St. John's. It was one of the places my parents took me and my sister as high schoolers. We drove all the way from Washington, PA.

And please do take your wife. And let me know when you're coming. I'll make sure it's your favourite vacation ever - or die trying to make your Top 3. I've only even lost one. An ex said Bermuda was his favourite, St. John's second. And I was still effing thrilled.

Also, just want to add... I see you love Pittsburgh, your pictures convey that easily enough. I find it reminds me of Oz... this tight, dense spire of tall buildings - almost as if it's a single entity.

Pittsburgh is spectacular. And I WILL visit it, and photograph it about 60% as well as you do, before I die. I promise.

It is a fairytale American city. People should look at Pittsburgh and feel the same as they do looking at a little Czech village. It is simply beautiful. It's skyline is just enough, and that makes it very unique.

Assistant bad motherfucker maybe? Assistant to the bad motherfucker? Maybe I could be Flash's photo caddy, carrying all that gear around while making strange gut feeling calls about shots (of course, that would probably only drag down the quality of his otherworldly photography all the way down to my humble level).
