In these waning days of summer, I’m playing catch up with events photographed for PCC. If we get to next Friday and you’re event doesn’t pop up I apologize as the Fall 2014 Social Season begins and I must start anew with social party photos. Sorry I don’t send photos out, as we are a one man shop. Thanks. HughE
Thanks to Mike Toub for photographing this for PCC as I was on assignment. (I even got him a lanyard with his name now.)

Hope you aren’t burned out after National Dog Day yesterday, here’s #woofwoofwendnesday PCC favorite pets as seen on Social Media
It’s the dog days of August, except it’s really not as the weather has been perfect. I headed to the Zoo this week to shoot a country western concert put on by WXTU starring Country singer Brett Eldredge. We’re back with people and event shots tomorrow.
I had a little time to explore the zoo in between the feeding of the giraffe’s and concert, so I took a few pixs.
You’ve got to see the tiger walkway.
Earlier in the week I headed to Lancaster, Pa to shoot a few photos of one of my favorite places.
This was a sign for an auto body shop.

The Budweiser Clydesdales are coming to Fairmount on August 28, 2014. They usually arrive a little after 6PM and begin to hitch the team in front of Eastern State Penitentiary (across from Urban Saloon.)
They then visit each of the bars and restaurants on the avenue from 20th to 25th Streets. It’s quite spectacular to see.

Thanks to Diner en Blanc co-hosts Natanya DiBona and Kayli Moran flank Diner en Blanc’s PR rep Kory Aversa for another magical Diner en Blanc. Diner en Blanc was brought to Philadelphia after friends Natanya and Kayli had attended one in Montreal a few years back, and thought how awesome it would be to bring it to Philadelphia. Neither women are in public pr or event planning (they both have full time jobs too), they just thought it would be fun to share this experience in Philadelphia.
