Going a little outside my comfort zone, here's a few photos I snagged of buddies performing at a local bar 🔥🎶🎛️📸 big fan of their song Splatter. An Esperluette 🤘🏻

During the June, First Fridays in the Kansas City Crossroads, I got this shot I really liked of a man looking out the open doors of a street car. Why does it feel like he's seeing dinosaurs?! 🦕 #streetphotography #mophotographer #kcmo #pride #streetcar

A lady on her phone with an umbrella, by a small lake, during a light rain. I had to get my camera out real quick as this was during a big meetup for a POGO event and I was wrapping up a quick raid when I saw this opportunity. ☔ #rainy #umbrella #streetphotography #ksphotographer #mophotographer

Stopped at a coffee shop I hadn't tried yet & had some tasty bean water. ☕ While hanging out, I saw an interesting exchange between two duos, seeming like some college students having interviews/discussions. I ain't been droppin' no eaves sir, honest. #fillingstationcoffeeshop #peoplewatching

Testin my black mist filter through a restaurant window. I often enjoy glancing through bar and restaurant windows where I love to see people engaged in their moments together; though this man seems to be looking away. Lol #kansascitymo #streetphotography #mophotographer #nightphotography

Two people talking over drinks, on the other side of the window. Lights are bright and hazy in the background.

Found some velvet shank (I think) growing on a tree during a birding hike with a buddy of mine. 🍄 #mushrooms #velvetshank #velvetfoot #velvetstem #wildenoki #FlammulinaVelutipes

Caught this cyclist while walking around after getting a coffee. Not sure if I like it in color or black and white more 🤔 #KansasCity #kcmo #riding #bicycle #cycling #nomoreairbnb #streetphotography #bwphoto

A man and his dog in a cold morning walk. Took this near one of my favorite KC coffee shops, while heading back to my car. #KansasCity #kcmo #dog #dogwalking #streetphotography

Another alley view in downtown KCMO, during a light rain that happened this last weekend. #streetphotography #rainy #reflections #Sonycamera #a6700 #sigma1850f28 #sonyalpha

Dark covered alley, still wet from the intermittent rains, with lights that reflect well. Pipes, rails, bins, and grates can be seen down this path.

Walking around downtown KCMO during a light rain and stumbled into a couple security guards flagging down a cop car for some reason... #streetphotography #rainy #reflections #Sonycamera #a6700 #sigma1850f28 #sonyalpha

While on the trails at the Garden of the Gods, we ran into a couple horseback riding tour groups. They were very friendly and so fun to photograph!

The scenery at this park was amazing at so many spots and times. This was definitely one of my favorites.

Had some fun photographing this Magpie that also seemed to take an interest in me and my camera. They were initially walking the nearby parking lot, looking for tourist/visitor dropped snacks. LOVED so many of the photos I caught of them, but BlueSky posts are limited to 4 😅 🐦‍⬛

Closest encounter I've had with coyotes before. Photos taken at the Garden of the Gods. Which god is associated with these hunters?

Not certain if they think they're well hidden here ...

Bighorn sheep standing on bigred rock. Honestly didn't expect to have such a cool opportunity to see one of these bois, as well as have the absolute pleasure to capture some really awesome posing. From Garden of the Gods Park, in Colorado Springs, CO.

When the beast is not exhausted enough to be a backpack yet. We tried to contain her a little better on some more difficult trails; as well as keep her from trying to throw hands with other (well mannered) doggos.

Recently brought our Pomeranian, Mocha, on a little hike through the Garden of the Gods. Colorado Springs was gorgeous! Will be going again!

Managed to play with some puddles by the KC ferris wheel. One day, I might try riding it.

Pet spotting is one of the best parts of practicing street photography. Sometimes I get the pets name, but this was unfortunately not one of those instances.

Took a walk around KCMO River Market area with my Sigma 56 & a6700, looking for moody shots on a very cold night. Just the streetcar related shots from this night.

Rails, lights, and some flowing water hitting the street.
