June 21, 200618 yr I too might be able to attend......we'll see how finances hold up. This silly thing called money is what prevented me from attending the All Ohio Meet in Cbus. :cry: I'll see what I can do to make it.....never been to Pitt, but I definately what to see it for myself!
June 26, 200618 yr I just made my hotel reservation (Comfort Inn & Suites, Dormont). Looks like it's on a bus route and within walking distance of the T.
June 27, 200618 yr I recall that in the past, at least one forumer had an encounter with transit cops for taking photos at a T station. Does anyone know what PAT official policy is on photography?
June 27, 200618 yr don't know why i haven't posted this here before: http://www.krages.com/ThePhotographersRight.pdf
July 2, 200618 yr I recall that in the past, at least one forumer had an encounter with transit cops for taking photos at a T station. Does anyone know what PAT official policy is on photography? Yes, I think that was Volguus when he was taking pics in the T. And the rent-a-cops at PPG Place were unpleasant to us. Whatever, together we can squash them like little bugs!
July 6, 200618 yr I got a new summer job and I have to work Saturday so I will not be able to make it to the meet unfortunately. :-(
July 7, 200618 yr No prob re: those who can't attend. For those coming, it's supposed to be sunny and 82! :) Click on that SSP link above if you need a map of where we're meeting. See yinz tomorrow!
July 8, 200618 yr Not a problem - you snooze, you looze. Look out for rob_1412's and Evergrey's photos... we hit over 20 neighborhoods.

July 10, 200618 yr Tsk tsk, on all of you. J/K, it was only the 4 of us - me, step2me, rob_1412, and evergrey. Which was just fine, we covered more area than we ever could with a large group, and saw and photographed views and hidden-away hoods most have never, ever seen (God bless step2me). From what I can remember .... Golden Triangle, McKees Rocks, Troy Hill, West End, Chateau, Lawrenceville, Bloomfield, Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, Point Breeze, Oakland, South Side, South Side Slopes, Allegheny West, Mexican War Streets, North Shore, Greenfield, Hill District, and a few more in between. Rob & Bob's photos will appear soon I'm sure; I'm saving mine to include with a couple other shots I want to get this summer.
