Today’s post is another photo from the Wynwood Walls area of Miami. I love this area of the city. The artwork is amazing and the creative use of old abandoned facilities is cool. This space is an art exhibit using old fans and color.

Art Exhibit in the Wynwood Walls area of Miami
Washington County Chamber of Commerce is going to feature my photography in an upcoming fundraiser for the Washington Health System. The event (called “Beer, Brats and Brook”) will be held at Noble Energy in Southpointe just south of Pittsburgh. Noble Energy recently moved into their brand new world headquarters, so it will be cool to combine this event with their new beautiful location.
The event will feature 20 photos from my collections, which will all either be framed or printed on metal. The photos just arrived at my place yesterday and they look great. I can’t wait to see them displayed in Noble Energy’s large lobby. Since the event is being held in October, it will be catered with local beers, brats and hors d’oeuvres. If you’re interested in having a beer, socializing, wandering around some great art, and helping to raise money for the Washington Health System, click the link below to register for the event.
I look forward to seeing you there!!
Couple of items tonight:
1. - I am sorry I missed my routine every other day posting. I had family in from Michigan and North Carolina, so we were busy visiting with them. Fun times were had by all. I appreciate your loyal visit to my blog and didn’t mean to disappoint you.
2. - Happy Veteran’s Day. In the United States this is a holiday to salute all current and past individuals who are serving or have served in the military. My thanks go out to all of my fellow veterans.
3. - David L. Lawrence Convention Center in downtown Pittsburgh. I met Dave and Brad Truxell at this site back in early September to photograph this under ground path that travels below the convention center between this funky river/waterfall on each side of it. In this picture the scene is a deep blood red, but the lights changed colors about every 30 seconds or so. If you wait, it changes to purple, red, blue, while, yellow, green, etc….. Sometimes numerous colors at once. While we were there the water wasn’t turned on. When the water is running, it runs down the walls to create this waterfall effect. Maybe some day I’ll go back to see it with the waterfalls running.
Regardless, even without the water running, I thought the area looked cool. I bet when MJ looks at it, she’ll call it a “brook picture”…… meaning something weird that only I would like and want to photograph. Lol Part of what I like about this picture is the reflection of the walls, ceiling and lights in the water. In some areas the reflection is so sharp that you can’t even tell it is water.
The convention center itself is a 1,500,000 square foot convention, conference and exhibition building. It is the first LEED-certified convention center in North America and one of the first in the world. I haven’t attended an event here, but the building looks cool.

This cool looking structure was built for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in the marina area of San Francisco. It was one of several structures built for this exhibit and the only one to not be destroyed afterward. Some local citizens formed a group to save it. It has been renovated a few times over the years and has a city park with a pond around it making it a very cool location. It’s popular for weddings and I can see why. As a “temporary” structure only meant for displaying art during the 1915 exposition, it is a timeless classic for the city of San Francisco.
