Not a lot of good opportunities to get a photo of Jay-Z without huge obstructions, but this one was saved.

The purpose of this event was to announce a 2 day music festival in Philly hosted by Jay-Z, Budweiser and other sponsors. Some proceeds of ticket sales will be donated to local charities.

I recently had the pleasure of testing the Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG HSM OS for Canon at a snowboarding competition at Camelback Mountain. This is one of the first photos I made with the lens on my Canon EOS 450D (XSi). Taken from Art Museum steps.

I can’t say enough good things about the experience I had with LensRentals.com for getting this lens to me at a helluva good price. Go there if you ever want to try before you buy.

You may not know this, but on Saturday January 29, 2011 VitaminWater, Buckmans Ski Shop and Radio 104.5 with other sponsors built a ski/snowboard ramp in The Piazza at Schmidt’s in Northern Liberties, Philadelphia PA.

It was a great spectacle, everyone had a great time and there were three bands playing on the Piazza’s stage. I kept my lens trained on the skiers and snowboarders.

Last weekend, September 4, 2010 myself and a couple friends walked across the Benjamin Franklin Bridge from Philadelphia, PA to Camden, NJ to watch the Red Bull Flugtag 2010.

”Red Bull Flugtag challenges teams of everyday people to build homemade, human-powered flying machines and pilot them off a 30-foot high deck in hopes of achieving flight! Flugtag may mean “flying day” in German”

My friends Sandy, April and I visited for Fort Mifflin one Saturday in August. I took a few snapshots, mostly of airplanes landing at Philadelphia International Airport.

Can’t really tell what’s spurring it, but my photo “UART Tat Girl” is getting a lot of hits today. Also, a commenter told me her handle is “Ally Crow”
