Photograph of the Week

Up River in Early Spring

(Watercolor Filter)

Things in Line

     I enjoy photographing the Allegheny River every season at the James Sharp Landing at 13th and Main Streets in Sharpsburg, PA.  Even though it has been a late spring here, I always find a trip there uplifting.  People were there over the last few weekends fishing, feeding the ducks and geese and walking the paths.  Soon kayakers, boaters and day camp attendees will be flocking there!

Picklesburgh, July, 2015

Last weekend the City of Pittsburgh celebrated Picklesburgh on the Rachel Carson Bridge.  The weather was hot, but perfect for an outing and a happening downtown.  Booths sold foods from pickles to pierogies and ice cream and beer.  Musicians were great - especially enjoyed a singer from the Boulevard of the Allies band.  Hope you enjoy my photographs from the event.

Always looking for events and spots to photograph.  Keep in touch!

 

 

Aspinwall Railway

Every day when I go to work at my part time job at First Street and Brilliant Avenue in Aspinwall, PA, I pass under and over the Aspinwall Railway.  Some of you who are Facebook friends may be familiar with my train photos - I have photographed graffiti art on trains and train cars carrying fluids as I wait (mostly patiently) for trains to pass.

As a photographer who loves distressed items, I have been intrigued by the train bridge above the ground level rails and the walls that support it.  I also love the nature that grows on these walls, not allowing anything to get in its way.

I am always open for new opportunities to photograph what you would like to see on this blog or on your walls.  Thanks for looking and enjoy the late spring weather!

Pink Falls

River Walk

Waves

Yes, the Duck was big stuff this fall in Pittsburgh, no argument there.  I posted photos of it in one of my latest blog posts.  But, Pittsburgh and its rivers are always a big part of my photography story.

Pink Falls is an example of Pittsburgh's Breast Cancer Awareness when pink-dyed water runs under the Convention Center.  Walking down the river walk is always grand, but on a bright fall day with the Duck in the distance, it was truly a special treat.  The stiff breeze off the Allegheny even caused waves in the Convention Center pink pools.
