Spinning Plate

I cannot believe I'm even thinking about doing this, again, moving that is. My last apartment I lived in for 10 years. I've been in my current apartment for 2 years. If my old landlord hadn't shoe horned me into an 18 month lease every year I'd most likely still be there. So why do I want to move again? Heat. My new apartment is beautiful, but the place won't heat up in the winter and winter is approaching rapidly (you didn't hear that from me). So today I went and looked at a new space at Spinning Plate Artist Lofts. And a beautiful space it is, it's just a bit on the small side, so tomorrow I need to decide what I am going to do, but am leaning towards taking it. It's a better location than where I am now across the street from Whole Foods and the Liquor store ( you didn't hear that from me either).

Penn Ave

Bloomfield, Liberty Ave more specifically, is always backed up with traffic. There is a lot of construction going on right now, as with every other road and neighborhood this summer, so today I walked to the post office rather than drove. I took a few photos along the way, this one I shot on Penn Ave on my way home. I know it's been shot to death but no one ever seems to include the tile mural of the girl that my friend Laura (of Clay Penn) did.

David Lawrence Convention Center

This weekend I shot the first wedding ever at the Pittsburgh Convention Center. What a challenge and and a treat. The above shot was taken the day before the ceremony as I like to scope out sites before a shoot. I need to either get some more external hard drives or burn some data off my main drive as I'm once again out of disk space. Well I have enough to run Photoshop but that's about it. Good thing the new camera I'm looking to buy only uses 15 MB per shot. :-) And the vapor wear camera I want most likely will shoot 21 MB images. Back when I first started shooting (for fun) with a digital I got 22 images on a 1 MB floppy Disk, the Sony Mavica for those of you who remember that model. I still own it, bit don't own any floppy drives.
