From 2006-2011, I took photos and handled web outreach for the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy, which is the City's nonprofit partner in parks restoration. I've since moved back to my hometown of Memphis, but whenever I visit Pittsburgh I steal some time in my favorite places, so I try to keep the park photos coming!
