Pittsburgh 8 albums

We knew by late October that we’d be leaving Pittsburgh, and I had less time and headspace to make art as we planned the departure. My parents visited at the start of October and we visited the Frank Lloyd Wright house on Kentuck Knob. Our friends Abhi and Jenna visited at after Thanksgiving and we took them to Pittsbirdh’s (thanks, Darien) National Aviary. I carried my camera on me everywhere in-between, but inspiration rarely struck.

This is a mix of photos from Summer 2023. The first few are from a park near Darien’s family reunion, and then a market in Pittsburgh. There’s a splattering of Niagara Falls photos from a long-weekend roadtrip, and then a brief flight to Austin, and finally a return to PGH.

Spring through Summer 2023 was delightful. The city warmed to a pleasant mid-eighties, and I could enjoy all the outdoor tennis that in Texas would’ve been a Winter sport. The longer days meant longer photo walks.

I’m no concert photographer, but it’s fun.

Growing up hearing my father idolize Frank Lloyd Wright, I had to visit Fallingwater (and later Kentuck Knob) while livingi n PA.

We had a brief window to get out of town in December. The day before visiting Fallingwater, we hiked through the snow in Ohiopyle. Milo loved it.

Pittsburgh’s 2022 Winter was the coldest I’d had since Belgium. This meant lots of time spent indoors, and when that wasn’t at home, it was at Phipps Conservatory.

Before moving to Pittsburgh, I took three weeks here during my sabbatical before moving on to Iceland. It was a crash course in the city—I went from Brookline to Lawrenceville, Highland Park to North Shore and South Side Flats. Finally, two days before flying to Reykjavik, I found the house I’d move into at the end of October.
