Today's Past

I like to create photos that can be viewed today I am keeping an eye on things that might be going away. I've always been fascinated the little things in old pictures that just aren't there any more.

The building with the all the windows painted yellow and green is The Skinny Building. At 5′2″ wide it is in competition for the skinniest building in the world.

Pittsburgh - Smithfield & Sixth Ave. - November 6, 2012 12:30 PM

Probably my last view of a parking meter in downtown Pittsburgh. The lady on the left is removing money from the meter. Behind her are guys removing the meters and replacing them with a single machine that accepts credit cards and give you a receipt to stick in your car window.

Pittsburgh - Fort Duquesne Bridge - October 18, 2012

The sun was coming up in a special way this morning when I was coming in on the 012. It was magic throughout the city as the sun came throught the buildings and the lights were still on from the night before.

Pittsburgh: Coffee Way & Strawberry Way - October 4, 2012

This is in my estimation the filthiest alley in Pittsburgh. Classically filthy.

The left hand wall is the Duquesne Club. Perhaps the nicest club in the United States.
