Back Home | Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

In just a few short days, I’ll be headed back ‘home’ to Western Pennsylvania. Living so far away now, I’ve grown to really cherish the few short weeks I get to spend in the Pittsburgh area each year. Being around family and friends that I miss so dearly is wonderful and spending time in downtown Pittsburgh is almost magical. I say it all the time, but it’s amazing how much I took the area for granted when I lived there. Rarely would I venture into the city, when I did, it was simply to go to a Pirates or Steelers game and then immediately go back home. When I visit now, I have to drink it in. I grab my camera and a friend or two and we spend hours shooting around town. One of the best parts about being as present in social media as I try to be is that I’ve met a few great folks who shoot a similar style of photography as I do and who live in the Pittsburgh area. Each time I return home it seems like I have ‘new old’ friends to hang out with. With the plans to shoot, visit friends and hang out with family during this trip, I might have to extend my visit for a few days :-)
The shot: Nikon D90, 18-105mm VR lens. 3 exposures, handheld. Merged in Photomatix and finished in Photoshop CS4.
