PDN also recognized one of his Washington, D.C., panoramas for digital excellence that year. Kittner's panoramic work led to a feature article in the April 2008 Washingtonian magazine.

Kittner also produces documentary and fine arts prints, which have been displayed widely at venues including Brooklyn University Law School, Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Environmental Protection Agency, and Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.
