Pittsburgh Drive By
Last night while driving home from Columbus I decided to take a 30 mile detour and visit Pittsburgh for the first time. I’m a sucker for city skylines so it was natural that I would seek out the Mt Washington overlooks. A quick call to fellow photog and Pittsburgh native Shawn Duffy confirmed my plans (BTW, Shawn has a great guide to Pittsburgh photo spots on his site).
The extra 2 hours to the trip were well worth it. The view was fantastic, the people extremely friendly and open to conversation, and I enjoyed one of the best pizzas ever eaten (Cestone’s Pizza on Virginia Avenue). Not only that but last night was the opening game in the 2009 NFL season that continued the new rivalry between the Steelers and the Tennessee Titans.
Below are a few of my shots: 1) Two 5 shot panos of Pittsburgh at dusk and at night; 2) will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas on the Jumbotron during their performance at the NFL Kickoff Celebration; and 3) Pregame fireworks at Heinz Field.
