Pittsburgh Vicinity, Part Four [Yeah, I know...]

Sometimes a little separation is a good thing. It's been a few weeks now since the Pittsburgh trip, and that time has allowed me to take a fresh look at the images shot during the weekend. This trip was one of the few times where I was really excited about what I shot immediately. Normally I wait a few days (weeks, months...) before reviewing what I photographed during a trip. This allows me to look at the images with fresh eyes. It allows me to look at the image for the image itself, not the memory of the circumstances. I didn't allowed myself that separation for this series of images, mainly because I was too excited about them to wait. I have since gone back over the images from the trip, and found a few images that I missed during my initial review. Below are a few of those images.

Pittsburgh Vicinity, Part Three [McKeesport]

I found myself with a few extra hours on Sunday to find one more location to shoot. I didn't really have anything in mind, so Andy and I opted for a drive south, and to see what we happened upon. As we headed down 148, I saw several fading brick buildings ahead. We meandered through the town of McKeesport and its virtually vacant business area. With rain on the horizon, I moved quickly as I found a few interesting spaces. I started to feel like I overstayed my welcome, and was getting some unwanted attention. Rushing my last location (and of which I have nothing decent to show), we continued on. Regaining our anonymity, I discovered a few more locations to shoot before a little fishing, a quick (and tasty) lunch, and a long drive home.
