Okay, I think this is the last of the convention center photos – next up, the closing keynote.
Pretty damn cool, as elevators go.
A nice empty corridor.
Close-up of the tubes and lights in the big hall.
The overpriced concession stand.
Umm… Ceiling thingy? Possibly the underside of the escalator.
Hey, look who beamed in! Uh, twice, apparently.

Yes, I still have more photos of the building…
For those of you new to this blog, I really like shadows.
Mystery Stairway!
I am fascinated by the upper reaches of the main halls.
Some say that NN warps your view of the outside world.
Looking right…
Looking left.

More pictures of the convention center itself:
Skylight in the main hall.
I suppose this could technically be considered a people photo…
I like the exposed structural elements.
A closer look at said elements.
Shadows from the skylight.

Hey look, it’s my new *cough* Democratic senator, Arlen Specter! He actually made a very good case for himself, provided you don’t know anything about his actual legislative record.
Arlen looks out at the audience and wonders what he’s gotten himself into.
Reviewing his index cards.
Behold, he smiles!
If I blow this up all the way, I can almost read his index card, but it’s just a little too blurry. Phooey.
Arlen gestures very sincerely.

The five of you who read my blog regularly know that all these people pictures I’ve been posting from Netroots Nation are totally out of character for me. I’m much more comfortable walking around taking pictures of the building itself. Like so:
Yes, I was taking pictures of the ceiling during the opening keynote ceremony.
The railing on the stage right before Bill Clinton appeared. Although I assume it looked pretty much the same after he appeared, too.
Chairs waiting for Mike Lux, Tanya Tarr, and Howard Dean.
This was on the other side from the main hall where the keynotes were. I guess it’s basically for storage and spare parts.
It looks a little bit like the inside of an alien spacecraft…

I still have some crane photoblogging left to do, but after that it’s going to be all California for a few weeks.

More random photos about town.
One of those overhead latticework sign-holding thingies reflected in a tanker truck. Would have liked to have done more with it, but I only had time to grab a shot or two before the light changed.
More arena construction. Not sure what those strips hanging down are for.
A crane underarm, to the extent that cranes can be said to have underarms.

Well, so much for Arts Festival photoblogging. Back to construction and Random Stuff, of which this is the latter.

A few more shots from the Zany Umbrella Circus. I told you they had doubled in size.

The Zany Umbrella Circus was in town for the Three Rivers Arts Festival, and has doubled in size since I saw them last. (They now have two people!)

What can I say, they’re photogenic. I just wish my autofocus hadn’t decided that the backdrop behind the drummer was more interesting than the drummer himself…

The Pittsburgh Boilermakers were at the Three Rivers Arts Festival. I’ve liked them ever since they played at a friend’s swing dance birthday.

Thanks to the Miracle Of Scheduling, I am posting this from the airport, but I’ll probably be on the plane when you see it…
This barrier is a lovely shade of orange. And yet…
A stack of traffic cones that tipped over.
I must say that I am pleasantly surprised by Pittsburgh’s deep commitment to literacy.

Found another fog picture, plus a couple of shots grabbed out the window on the way to Philly. Trying to shoot from a moving car is a challenge, especially since I usually compose very slowly and deliberately. Hell, it usually takes me several seconds just to decide whether I want to take the shot or not.

Taken in between fog pictures…
The vents on some kind of electrical box.
Rivets on that same box.
Yet another manhole photo.
