A Weekend in Pittsburgh

Jamie & I took a road trip to Pittsburgh this weekend to do a little sight-seeing. For me, sight-seeing involves eating as many different foods at as many different places as possible, but I did manage to put the fork down long enough to get a few pictures. Here are a few of my favorites from the weekend....


The Pittsburgh Skyline from the top of the Incline


The Pittsburgh Skyline from down by the river


The Phipps Conservatory


Inside the Phipps Conservatory


Inside the national Aviary

You can see more pics from the trip here (night shots), here (Phipps Conservatory) and here (National Aviary).

July 18th Worldwide Photo Walk - Cumberland, MD

On July 18th over 30,000 photographers worldwide took to the streets to capture some images. I hosted the group here in Cumberland, Maryland. We had a little over 20 walkers and we explored downtown Cumberland, looking for unique photo ops.

Here are a few of my favorites that I had taken:


Most of our group, at our pre-walk group shot.


Cumberland is full of large brick buildings


I liked how the vines framed the text


Again with the vines


We finished our walk at the Western Maryland Railroad Station

You can see all of my shots here and you can see shots from the rest of our group here.

On the set with NatGeo

Earlier this week the National Geographic Channel was in town to film a WWII spy documentary. Several of the scenes were shot onboard the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad cars and around the station. Here are a few still photos from the shoot...


Somewhere out west??

July 4th fireworks

Here are a few fireworks shots from Cumberland's 2009 fireworks show. These shots were taken from Constitution Park as the fireworks went off directly overhead. All pics are straight out of the camera, Bulb setting was used at f11.
