#helloSAL

July 26, 2010

Last night I had the honor of being the photographer at #helloSAL, a “reveal” party for one of Pittsburgh’s most darling icons – Secret Agent L. You can read about Laura and her adventures in Pittsburgh here. The event was a total success and raised over $1,500 for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). Here are a few shots from the party. If you were there, or wish you had been, leave a comment and share something about the evening!

There were lots of neat things to bid on at the silent auction - craft brews, hand bags, stationary, gift certificates, books and more...


The Firehouse Lounge was serving up $5 sangrias that even the most die-hard beer drinkers couldn't resist.



SAL set up a Mini Mission Station for people to take part in.




At 9:00 p.m. SAL revealed what everyone had been waiting for...herself!


#helloSAL quickly evolved into a dance party on the terrace and continued well past the event's scheduled time.

Urban Garden Party 2010

I had the opportunity to photograph a spro’down this weekend at Voluto Coffee in Pittsburgh. Organized by the Pittsburgh Area Coffee Association and Voluto, the event had a great turnout and was attended by many well-to-do members of the coffee industry, including Russ and Bethany Warren of Beaver Falls Coffee & Tea Co. Jake Liefer (of PACA and BFC&T) took orders and did a fabulous job of it while the Voluto/BFC&T crew pulled shots of various guest espressos.

Here are a few of my favorites from the night:
