I don’t know why I didn’t post this photo already. I took this in 2018 during our trip to South Africa and I really like it.
Magic Path
This is the path underneath the Lawrence Convention Center in downtown Pittsburgh. The lights change colors randomly, so as you stand there it will be blue, red, purple, etc…. In warm weather, it also has water running down the walls and on each side of the path, which also make for a unique photo op…. Just a cool spot.
Oculus World Trade Center Station
I enjoyed my last trip to NYC back in 2019. MJ and I explored Manhattan, per our normal process. This was the first time we explored the Oculus building. This unique building is a terminal station on the PATH subway system. It also has an underground mall within it. I loved the architecture of this building.
City Methodist Church
I’m going to do my best to relax this weekend and reduce my stress level. I hope you do as well. I’m starting my long weekend by posting this photo from Gary Indiana. I took this photo during the filming of “Shutter Rush – City of Abandonment” which will be released later this spring/early summer.

Blue Path
Short and sweet post tonight. This is the lower level path at the Pittsburgh Convention Center (David L. Lawrence Convention Center). I took this photo when Theatherwiz and Robert Lussier where in town. We hit a number of cool spots and took a ton of photos.

Kids Camp
I love the shadows in this photo. We were walking around this abandoned children’s camp outside of Chernobyl. It had all these little cabins (maybe 20 of them) with cute murals painted on them. As we were walking back along the path towards our bus, this scene unfolded in front of me…… I had my camera all packed up and had to get it back out to capture this moment. I’m glad I did!!!
Btw….Happy Thanksgiving.

Valhalla Ranch
Here is another photo from my time at Valhalla Ranch near Grayling Michigan. This 650-acre hunting resort is a wonderful place. If you’re a deer hunter, you won’t be disappointed with the number and size of the white tail deer. I took this photo behind the lodge which sits next to the West Branch Big Creek. I loved the composition of the river, the forest and the ranch road.

My Current Project
My Current Project
One of the local country clubs has used me over the last few years for capturing photos of their amazing course. They called me again recently to have me photograph a few of their greens before they take them off line as they remodel their course. Here is a seek peek at one photo from this assignment.

Old San Juan
Old San Juan is my favorite city in the Caribbean. There are a number of great cities and towns in that area of the world. But there isn’t anything like the original part of San Juan. The Spanish architecture, cobble stone streets, history, etc… The old world charm is palpable.

Funky Tunnel
I didn’t know what to call this photo. I like it of course. It’s a little artsy, a little different and maybe a little weird. How would you describe it?
I took this inside the Carrie Furnace during our photo walk there with a group of friends. Click HERE to read more information on this site from one of my prior post.

Schenley Park
The photo came from a past photo walk with Brad and Dave to Schenley Park in the Oakland area of Pittsburgh. We went during a rather ugly time of year. It was cold with no snow and of course the trees had no leaves. So I made the best of the situation and tried to capture an unusual perspective…the underside of the bridge.

Red Hole #3
Tonight I got the opportunity to photography the brand new Red Hole #3 at Valley Brook Country Club. It’s so new that it won’t even be open until spring of 2017. As you can see, it is a beautiful setting. What a great opportunity, wonderful location and beautiful photo!!

Pretty Path
I captured this photo behind the Basilica of National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington DC at the end of April. I missed the apple blossoms in the DC area, but I found this pretty little spot.

Sedona Hiking Path
Not much to say about this photo. It is what it is! What I can tell you is that I took this on our first day as we drove into Sedona Arizona. Even before we got to the town of Sedona, we pulled off the road so I could capture this photo.
Have a great week.

Funky Path 2
Last November I posted a picture I took from the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in downtown Pittsburgh. You can see that picture here: http://brook-ward.com/blog/2013/11/11/funky-path
Tonight I am posting another picture from that location. I love this spot because of the funky path, waterfalls, lighting, etc….

Funky Path
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.
