#FlashbackFriday Duquesne's campus has grown a lot since 1935 when this photo was taken at the corner of Forbes Ave. and Boyd St. @DuqBiz is now on the right.

Exactly a year ago today I captured my favorite unexpected image I've ever shot in #Pittsburgh. I was on Duquesne's campus to capture the full moon setting over St. Mary of the Mount, when the moon just so happened to move directly behind the gate featuring the Duquesne logo.

Could you imagine a second CoP?

A silhouetted #Pittsburgh skyline stands out against a colorful sunrise from the banks of the Allegheny River on a quiet morning on the North Shore. The slightly choppy water almost makes the reflection look like a watercolor painting, with the ripples mimicking brush strokes.

@LCSDFVPGH Thought this might be a good retweet!

Can a dog improve your mental health? According to a new study from Purdue University service dogs increase veterans' mental health, resilience and the ability to participate in social activities. #MentalHealthMonday #EaglesCare
