Sorry, won't have time to meet, but will be watching suggestions in this thread with interest as I'm going to be moving to Pittsburgh in the next few months. Good luck with the wedding photos.

Our last DPC GTG was...the Aviary and Mt Washington.
My Aviary shots. Alan's
are still on line as well.
If you can find the West End Overlook you can get a less icy shot of this:

.

I don't get my work schedule till tomorrow, but i am probably working 6/17 and 18 in the evening. I am usually off on sundays, but this being fathers day i fear i will be working. If i can assist at the wedding I'll be happy to call off and take you out photo shooting for fun!

I live over in Beaver PA (directly west from New Ken, easy via turnpike). I'll gladly try and meet up with ya.

I work in Chippewa. There are one or two more DPC folks around Beaver County, but i have yet to get them out and about taking pics, except for alansfreed
. The other DPC Pittsburghers are from teh South Hills and oakland areas.

If you look at my entries and porfolio you may recognize some local places. I'd loce to go to Beaverun and shoot a race - but i have no cle when they run or anything like that. I was going to go to the Happy days Car Cruise but had to work. This week there is a carnival in downtown Beaver but i doubt i can make it - depends on work. Night shots there wold be cool i think.

Oh, and congrats on your winnings on Jeopardy, too!

(Sorry for making so many jokes at your expense without even knowing you...!)

I'd go, I live about 30 minutes from New Kensington, but I'm currently on the east side of the state = (
The west side is way cooler.

She's a little young for you yet... she's only 6 :)

Do you know Kelsey Wilson from Riverside?

awesome, did you take the photos of her too? :)

Yep... I did those in my "Ghetto Basement Studio" a couple months ago. It was a lot of fun because she seemed to be very natural with the whole modeling thing. She'd just strike a pose, I'd shoot, and she'd instantly do something completely different. Made things easy from my standpoint! Great girl -- hope she goes far!

Editing to add that I only took the main shots that appear in each navigation area of the site... the shots on the "Pix" page are her own personal ones.

i talk to her pretty often and she offered to be my model (I mentioned i was getting a new camera --- 20d) so maybe I'll take her up on that if you say shes a good model :)

dont plan on taking the 20d into downtown EC anytime soon, I've seen some shady people down there on many occasions :p

but yeah, nice camera to you as well.
