Looking for Riverfront Photos - help!

A client of mine, Riverlife (riverlifepgh.org), is looking for images of activities on the riverfronts. The images could be used in an upcoming brochure that shows off Pittsburgh's beautiful scenery and what else, river life! We're especially interested in activities with people engaged in fun activities. Biking is the obvious, but the images could include any activity - from frisbee and pet walking to fishing and boating. Anything goes. Diversification among people in the images is a plus. Riverlife is one of our major advocates for beautification of the riverfronts. Projects include the soon-to-be-opened Mon Warf Switchback, the Grant Street Bike Crossing and so many more. If you have images that you would like to share, please contact me. For those who don't know me, I'm the Creative Director of Direct Axis. We're a design firm, creating print and web media for nonprofits and other commercial clients. direct-axis.net We would love your input. Thanks so much!

Fantastic! Thanks so much! I'll send a Private Message with my email address. Let me know if that works for you. Looking forward to your shots!

I have a ton (several hundred) I shot of the last two years MS walk.  I shot these as a volunteer & forwarded them on to the society.  I was actively trying to get diversity in my shots, and they actually ended up using a few in their promotional material. I know the participants sign a waiver for MS Society to use them, but I'm not sure of the appropriateness of others using them though (I'm not a professional).  What do you think?

Hey Marko82! Hmmm, my first impression is one of uncertainty, given the reasons you shot the images. Let me check with my client, see what he thinks. Possibly he has a contact at the MS Society. Would you be okay to send me some of your favorites in advance? I would guarantee we won't use them, pending a more formal decision on the privacy issue. I'd like to see them just to evaluate how or whether we could make use of them. I'll Private Message my email to you. And many, many thanks!
