The Beavers at Southpointe
I haven’t really been able to play hockey for a few months now, which I’m not too thrilled about. But I have had more time to watch the boys play. They’re starting up a new league sometime after Easter, which will be some of the Max Damage boys’ first time on skates. For now, I shot some photos at the Iceoplex at Southpointe at a recent Beavers game.
What is their goalie doing out there?

PTC at Hotshots
Along with the music stuff, any sports shoots will go up here as well. Since the husband’s on about a billion hockey teams, this means you’ll be seeing a lot of hockey photos. The guys have been playing on a deck league up at Hotshots in Canonsburg for awhile now, but this is the first time I’ve been able to make it up to a game.
I camped out right behind the goal for more or less the whole game.
Shirt has mad ups.
Goal!
In general, I liked the look of these better in black and white. But it does no justice to Zack’s helmet, which I believe he got from the future.
I’m posting this as a lesson to photographers everywhere. If you notice that EVERYONE you are photographing is looking up, maybe you should see just what’s so damn interesting up there. Otherwise, you might get hit with a hockey ball. Just sayin’
Not enough hockey for you? There’s more on the Facebook.
Best of Pittsburgh: Morning Glory Coffeehouse
The winner for “Best Place to See Unusual Folk Music” went to Morning Glory Coffeehouse.

The yarn art made using the flash a bit difficult.
David Bergman workshop | NYC
Finally, the reason I actually went up to New York in the first place, David Bergman’s workshop.
The workshop was a lot of fun, and extremely useful. Of course, my “gear to buy” list just got a whole lot longer. If you’re looking for a lighting workshop, I’d definitely recommend this one.
I didn’t spend much time taking photos, but I did get a few sort of behind the scenes shots.
David, doing his thing on the roof at Adorama (oh, they let us on the roof!)
The basic premise here was to overpower the existing light (which is, uh, the sun). If you look at how bright that sky is, you can see the problem with trying to do this with a softbox.
Edible Red was nice enough to come out and pose for us for the day. Here they are demonstrating “The Band Stagger”.
It was really interesting to watch David set up shots, and also talk through his thought process. So glad that I went, and I really can’t wait to try out some new lighting techniques.
Street Shots | NYC
The last of my photos from Saturday, these are all the street shots that I got while I was walking around.
Poutine and Cakeshop | NYC
After the show, I walked around looking for dinner somewhere, and ended up at Poutine. Apparently, poutine is some kind of Canadian cheese fries.
They also had fantastic creamsicle floats.
Then, off to Cake Shop. It’s a record store, a bar, and a live music venue. Oh, and they have cake. I was so excited when I went downstairs to see that the ceiling of the stage was lit all over with white Christmas lights, but they turned them off before the bands started. Don’t they care about my lighting needs?
I did get a shot of the bathroom walls. Every inch of the place looked just like this:
And snapped this one from the bottom of the stairs
