Contrary to some of what you may have seen or heard on TV, the G2o Summit in Pittsburgh was quite uneventful!!! Lots, and lots of police and Secret Service - and lots of folks carrying cameras (some with 3-4 hanging over their neck with extra zoom lenses and what not), but very little to photograph.
The few demonstrations that took place and went awry were on the outskirts of town, surrounding neighborhoods like Oakland (Pitt and CMU Universities) and Bloomfield. I was truly disappointed as I would have like to have seen some "PEACEFUL" protesting - as the groups tend to be colorful and interesting and just fun to photograph. BUT no such luck. My husband works in the heart of town and he "got nothing".
Here are few of the police presence and one of our beautiful city (classic point shot) if you've never seen it and one of Phipps Conservatory (where dignitaries met to dine). If you would like to see more shots of Pittsburgh, you can find some on my husband's website, www.daygraphics.net. He's primarily a retoucher (Pittsburgh's Best Retoucher), but he does his fair share of photography.
P.S. Thank you Cinder for the exceptional, wonderful descriptions of previously posted pics.
