Once again an excellent job. I’m going home next week and moving back in two months, and these photos really make me excited. Thank you for doing what you’re doing and keep up the good work.

Wow… Awesome photos! I check the site every day for updates and just found these. I am also from Wash PA and now live in Washington DC. Thanks for bringing home to me!

You have such a great eye for photography. I miss the burgh very much, its really nice to see your pictures. It makes you feel like you are walking in the strip, driving accross the bridges, sittin on Mt. Washington, and drivin the boat on the Mon. I live in West Palm Beach Florida where its to hot and dealing with the cone of uncertainty!! The only nice thing here are Steelers Bars and Primantis down in Ft. Lauderdale (30 minutes away). Can you travel to 7 Springs next winter and post some of those photos? Just an idea!! Just like Chuck said “Thanks for brining home to me!”
Thanks again

Once again, a gorgeous gallery capturing the beauty of one of America’s greatest cities! I visit this site frequently and would like to know if your photos are for purchase. i know many people who would love these as gifts, and you truly have a gift for exposing Pittsburgh’s dramatic beauty. I am moving home soon and whenever I am homesick I check this site. It’s like food for soul. Thanks! Pittsburgh’s greatest export is it’s people.

Brilliant Photos…..They really tug the heartstrings of a 27 year displaced ‘burg boy.

I saw your photos on skyscraperpage.com. I send them out to every Yinzer I know (in town and out of town), and they all appreciate them. I moved back to da Burgh and I am so happy! No place in the country comes close to this town with character, unique personality, and great neighborhoods like this town. You really know how to show it. Keep it up. Also, your photos of other towns are great also. Visit Denver one day, and phootgraph it. I love that town.

You truly have a talent for capturing incredible photos of an incredible city. Please keep it up…

Your pictures are great! Do you plan to publish them in book form? If so, I’d buy the book. The color and the sharpness are superb!

WOW!! I love your photos!! I haven’t lived back home is 13 years and I miss it terribily sometimes! I live in Arkansas, and there is nothing like Pittsburgh out here!

Thanks for making home come alive! I have lived in Fort Myers, Florida for 6 years now and try to get back home twice a year, but looking at these pictures makes me feel like I never left. I show these to people in my office and they are amazed how beautiful Pittsburgh is………..and I just smile proudly and say yes it is!!

I love the May pictures, they are really beautiful as well as refreshing. I did not realize that Pittsburgh has so many
beautiful sites. Keep up the good work, I enjoy them emmensely.

You do a great job. All your pictures reflect the best of the da burg. I will be visiting Pittsburgh the week of July 4th from Charlotte, NC and your photos make me want to go today. Have you given any thought to doing detailed photo spreads of the surrounding areas (e.g. Mt Lebo, Squirrel Hill, Shady Side, Southside, an nat)?

Your picture are truly amazing! I live in Wisconsin now but I sure do miss Pittsburgh. Great job and keep up the good work!!

These photos are gorgeous!

Superb job! What beautiful pictures of a beautiful city! Can’t wait to get back there in 2 weeks for my 45th High School Reunion! You can take the girl out of Pittsburgh but you can’t take Pittsburgh out of the girl.

Once again you have shown the great view of the wonderful city of pittsburgh, i would really advise everyone who doesn’t live here to come and visit. We have great hotels, and such. Hope to see you there!

I miss home, but your photos bring me back to Pittsburgh more often than I can make the drive. Excellent work.

Pittsburgh is second in beauty only to Sydney, Australia. I’m a lifelong Pittsburgher, wouldn’t trade it.

What am amazing eye you have. I greatly enjoyed the pics. I cracked up at the Primanti sandwich - only a true Pittsburgher would know that is as much an icon as any landscape! Thanks.

Thank you i was home sick, this helped.

Awesome pictures. Left Pittsburgh 33 years ago due to work but recently returned. Sure wish I had these photos to look at when I was gone. Great job. Please keep posting them.

You should take pictures of the area around Kennywood and the WaterFront with the steel mills and kennywood….that would be GREAT!

I miss this wonderful city. Its been 20 years since I lived here. What a great reminder of the many exciting memories and good times. Would love to see Mt. Washington and the tram.

I love pittsburgh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The people are so friendly… I move to Fort Lauderdale eight years ago and there will never be (NO PLACE LIKE HOME)……AWESOME PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!! : ) : ) : )

Super photos! Been gone since 63 and kicking back in Tucson since 72. I’ll always be a “Pittsburgher” and you wonderful talent bvrings back many memories. Go Stillers!!

Great except there was no picture of the incline.

We were enamored at the clarity,the uniqueness, and beauty of this entire series
Kudos to the photographer —these are award winning photos and are especially apprectated by those of us who have grown up around the area without appreciating the beauty of our “skyline”

WHO TAKES THE PICS? WHAT KIND OF CAMERA- DIGITAL OR NOT? WHAT OTHER CITIES DID YOU TAKE?
REALLY ENJOYED THESE & WILL CHECK OUT THE OTHER MONTHS PICS BELOW. THANKS FOR SHARING. PITTSBURGH SURE IS PRETTY, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHTTIME WITH ALL THE GLASS,LIGHTS,BRIDGES AND WATER!!! MAKES ME WANT TO COME AND VISIT AGAIN. DO YOU HAVE ANY FROM NYC?

Simply . . . .brilliant !!! Makes me homesick

These pictures are of my life. thank you for taking them. I am going to snare them with special people that miss the burgh very much..

Ilove Pittsburgh so much that my architect husband thinks I should work for the Chamber of Commerce and I declare these photos are dynamite and certainly should blow away all the negative impressions of out of towners.

Moved to L.A. in ‘68. Have been back many times to visit family and friends. Now retired and living in Laguna Woods, South Orange County. I miss the smell of the rich soil made by falling leaves, the soft, moist air, the friendly voices all around you, my family.
Great pix! I could cry. I have fond memories of huge family picnics on Saint Anthony’s Day in South Park. The beautiful stone shelters, the huge swimming pool, family softball games. All the ethnic peoples enjoying their favorite foods set upon a groaning table. Grandma’s bouncing babys on their knees and the old men smoking cigars and having a beer, talking Steelers. If these pictures lack anything, it is the wonderful heart of Pittsburgh’s friendly people and their attachment to each other and the church or temple in the neighborhoods. A Pittsburgher must wonder what the immigration fuss is all about. Immigrants are what built this town, we all still speak native languages, eat ethnic foods and share our churchs and temples, but we all bleed Red, White and Blue. This is what makes America great.

Am sending these pictures to all my friends that have moved away from “The Burg.” Now I have proof of braggin’ rights as to what a great place I live near.

I would like to see a series on Forest Hills, Wilkinsburg, Penn Hills , churchhill, & edgewood.

Spectacular! You have created a magnificent collague of a city I have called home for 65 years.

These beautiful pics make me miss the ‘burgh–until my family talks about shoveling the snow! Keep up the great work of making those of us that are gone want to return home. Go Steelers!

Good old Pittsburgh! We do miss you!

These are weird,cool and beautiful pictures. :O

Fantastic pictures, I’m a die-hard burg girl. I miss it so much, your pictures just made my day! You captured the character of the city.

These pictures are so beautiful!!!! I was born in Mt. Oliver. I have been away from Pittsburgh for over 15 yrs. I do visit frequently. I know live in SC. I do miss our beautiful city. Just lovely. You have also made my day with those pictures!! Thank you!!!

Way to go, Matt! You have a talent worthy of “Photographer of the Year.” Many of us who have emigrated from the snow, slush, and proverbial orange PENNDOT cones do, in fact, miss the beauty of summertime Pittsburgh. Your site fills that void during “hurricane season”. We do get back twicw a year to visit family & friends and put posies on graves. We are avid STEELER fans year-round!
Keep those PIX acomin’
Daytona Beach transplants Maureen & Jim

Still a beautiful city!

Thank you for the walk through my old home town which becomes brand new through your camera lens. Proud Pittsburghers know how beautiful, quaint and unique it is and you have allowed us to share this with the world! GREAT job!

Nice pics as usual, I’m a Pitt student and would love to see some more of the night life, Pittsburgh undoubtedly lights up at night! Keep up the amazing work!

Beautiful work! I am not one to get homesick very often, but this did it.

Makes me home sick. The best skyline anywere.

I moved away from PA when I was 19. Family still brings me back to the area. But those pictures are awesome, and can definitely make you home sick. If you ever do a book, I would buy it also.

Make a book! Great idea! I would buy several! Pittsburgh Magazine would eat your photos up!

Great to get these picture’s, I left there doing the Korean War. It sure brings back a lot of memories. Thank you for printing these.
God Bless.

What Marvelous photos of Pittsburgh. I’ve lived in California since 1961 — lots of lovely things, but none to compare with my old ‘burgh. I’m passing them on to other ‘displaced’ friends.

I love your pics. I have them as screensaver shots on my computer at work. People (in Philly) STILL think Pittsburgh is a smokey, dirty, factory-strewn town from the pre-50s era. They are so ignorant sometimes. They are AMAZED at your shots saying things like “…its probably digitally enhanced..” or something of that tone. Yea, the ‘burgh has its problems like ANY city but it also has its charms! You seem to be able to touch that side. I know it probably wouldn’t be received well but do you think you could take a pic on a day and show the same pic from 10, 20 30 years ago?! THAT would be awesome!! Or maybe some snow shots?! Your shots are very good!

P.S. I like the Philly Skyline shots you did too!

WOW. I’m a Pittsburgh native recently transplanted to Fredericksburg, VA. Your incredible photography made me weep. The University of Pittsburgh was my home for many years and my husband and I spent countless Saturday’s at the Strip. You made my day. Thank you and God Bless!

I was not born in Pittsburgh. But these photos show, quite simply, why I will die in Pittsburgh. Thank you for the images that made me fall in love with this city for the rest of my life.

I am a “Pittsburgher” born and raised! These photos are so beautiful. They show why so many Pittsburgher stay here all their lives!

These photos are absolutely stunning! I’m from the burgh, live in Montana and am moving to Melbourne Australia. I just realized that this city is much like Melbourne minus the hills. Great job and to some degree, makes me homesick for family and friends. Pittsburgh is a lot like Melbourne that way too - great people and friendly. Though Big Sky Country offers open skys and great outdoor adventures, it has NOTHING on the people of “the burgh”. Now, where’s the chipped ham and jumbo? LOL

We must have the same eyes, because I took the same shot of the Clemente. We should go out shooting, I’ve been climbing the bridges (which might be slightly illegal) lately and making abstract images out of the shots.

Great stuff, properly exposed.

Just viewed the site pictures and after leaving the area some 37 years ago, many changes have taken place. However, the basic town remains, good hard working blue collar individuals who have made this a GREAT CITY. I have desire to return but only to visit. There are still friends and family in and around the area…our returns are less and less and the years past. Your pictures make it possible to be “almost home!” Thank You for such good work…

Always look forward to your photos…you do an awsome job in capturing the essence of the burgh….as above, would like to see a spread on Kennywood park. Still call the burgh home, make it up for 2-3 Steeler Games and 3-4 Penguin Games every year….Keep up the great work….

these pic. showed me the parts of Pgh that we don’t see. these pic. showed me that Pgh is more beautiful then i thought.

Wonderful to see such great shots of the city I grew up in and went to college in—I live in Philly now [ 38 yrs]— but i still miss the burgh!!
Would love to see pix of East End, Stanton Heights, the Pgh. zoo, and especially Kennywood Park.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful work.

Fab u lis….. Color is superb! Each picture better than the one before. The hill sure looks different than I remember.

I, too am a Pittsburgher and graduate from Mt. Lebanon High, South Side Hosptial School of Nursing and a former PaANG Flight Nurse. Unfortunately I have ended up in the Albany, NY area and it is NO PGH !!! I have no family left in the area and have lost track of friends from the old days This brought tears to my eyes. I see my nursing school is still standing even if the hospital isn’t. I used to bring my kids to a now lost Mt Lebo friend in order to visit my parents in their nursing homes each spring-they still remain pure PGH fans even now with spouses from Boston and Buffalo!
Someday I hope to come back home.

I left Pgh almost 40 years ago and these pictures make me cry. Would move back tomorrow if I could. No wonder we’re all such nut cases about the place!

MISS IT MISS IT, MISS IT. BORN IN PGH. WENT TO PITT. LEFT PGH,32 YEARS AGO. BUT I NEVER LEFT IN MIND. IT’S STILL HOME. GREAT SHOTS. DID A PITTSBURGH TRIANGLES TENNIS EXOBITION RIGHT THERE AT THE POINT IN THAT BEAUTIFOL SHOT

I too left 11 years ago July 28th.. I live in Orlando and your pictures are the best ever. Would also like to see Kennywood, Letrobe, Allison Park, North Park - (it hasn’t changed). Wonderful memories of raising my children there. I sure miss it.. Just about any picture you take will be wonderful.. Please do more!

Janette I love the pictures they are awesome!!!! I will let you have bragging rights now! Your right the BURGH IS HOT……Love & Miss You All In Pittsburgh

Loved them all!

You gotta love this city!!!!

My parents took me to Colorado from Pittsburgh before I was a year old. I don’t know why I get homesick when I look at these pictures, but I do. Great city…great pictures!

Great pictures! I moved to Florida from Pittsburgh 6 years ago & miss it so much
I hope to move our family back up there sometime soon. These pictures are truly beautiful
There really is no place like home.

I have always argued that Pittsburgh had prettier sunsets than they have here in Florida. And you just proved me right

PROUD TO BE FROM THE BURGH!

Hi, wonderful pictures. Living in Mexico now and only get back to Pittsburgh once a year. Used to be for a month, but even that time is getting shorter. You certainly did bring back memories.

It is truly a beautiful city, happy to say I have lived here all my life. Thanks for sharing your fantastic photos.

Was there ever doubt, Pittsburgh truly is a beautiful city, and a great place to live. Fantastic photos. Makes me just love the Burgh more. Glad I never left.

Outstanding photographs, I’m a 37 year old Pittsburgh boy in the Army. I haven’t been home in over 6 years. I can’t wait to get back. All of these pictures are pushing me back to the City of Champions, My Home. I live in Hawaii, but my Heart is in my home. Go Steelers!

Your photos were incredible. I myself enjoy photography, and you have a great eye to be able to take something that may not be beautiful to the naked eye and make it something special. After growing up in Oakmont, and attending CCHS, I have since been transplanted and now live in Altoona. Someday I vow that I will be back to the Burgh.(I hope sooner then later) I have traveled to many places, and lived in many others, and there is no city as great as the mighty Pittsburgh. Thanks for the memories, and keep up the great work

I’ve lived here in Pgh all of my life and never realized how beautiful it really is…you have not only shown Pgh’s outer beauty, you have also captured it’s inner beauty…great job!

I was born there and lived there when I was a kid, and have many relatives there that I miss very much. When I see pictures from there it does make me want to go back home and visit more. The pictures are very nice and bring memorys back as a kid when I lived there. Hey any pictures from Castleshannon? Thanks again|

Born and raised in the Pgh. area and left for husband’s job w/government in D.C 30 years ago. But I go back “home” to visit family every chance I get and will ALWAYS consider Pittsburgh HOME. I loooove this beautiful city. And everything about it. It’s hard to explain to people who think I’m nuts when I brag about it so much. They just dont know any better. But we natives know, dont we????

I grew up in the area of Beaver Falls. I remember going to Pittsburgh to visit and shop. I really has changed since I was growing up. And this is a good thing

I have been gone 15 yearsand you brought me right back such great shots.I grew up in the South Hills McMurray I went back 3 years ago . I live in Seattle Wa now but I love the pictures. Do you have a book I would love to buy it!!!!!!!

These are truly stunning! I just left the burgh this week to go back to school in Missouri, and it is so hard to explain to friends out here how breathtaking and unique our city is. Now I can just show them these pictures and they will be able to understand a little bit more. The only problem is that school is just beginning and now I’m already homesick!

wow…I truly forgot how beautiful Pittsburgh is….I’m in NJ now, but will be back hopefully this year….but you really made me homesick….

We retired to FL a couple years ago….and these pictures made me homesick for the Burgh. You have done an outstanding job, not only in photography, but also in capturing the essence of this wonderful city.

I have been gone since 76. I was brought up in the East Liberty section of the city. There’s not a day that goes by without thinking of the burgh. Thanks for the memories

Great pictures! Really a treat. I have been away from home since 1957. I still miss Pittsburgh and your pictures bring back all of the old memories. I really enjoy them. Keep it up. Go Steelers!

Wow - I just got back from Pittsburgh from visiting family. My family typically is in the burgh during the winter months (live in Atlanta) and we don’t get to see the people and the city during the summer. It was a real joy to see all the people downtown and all over… Amazing pictures.

Its funny… I was traveling downtown last Friday Afternoon and saw a gentleman taking pictures of the city… I thought it was odd however in retrospect… Maybe it was you! Keep up the good work!

Ahhh…the memories! Really neat pictures.

Fantastic! I am sending these to anyone that ever lived here and left!

Home; always!

Pittsburgh has grown up over the years I have been gone. Still Home though!!

Here we go Steelers, here we go!

I moved to Florida about a year and a half ago… Thanks for reminding me of a beautiful city that I left behind!!! Almost makes me want to move back… ALMOST!!

Pittsburgh is not a perfect City…but it’s sure nicer than most. These pictures are absolutely beautiful! Home Sweet Home.

I’ve been away from Pittsburgh for about 4 years. But now I am back and it is great to be back home. I grew up in the Bellevue/Avalon area and now living in Ross Twp. I’ve missed this beautiful city very, very much. It is really one beautiful city and getting more and more beautiful year after year. Thanks for all the great memories.

Absolutely amazing. Keep up the good work

These pictures are truly beautiful. I have lived here all of my life. I had the opportunity to leave a couple of times and my husband and I chose to stay and raise our two children here. I am convinced now more than ever that we made the right decision !!

Born here, raised here and still here. There may be lots wrong with this city, but I’m a lifer here. I love it! We are on the rise again!

I am in the Air Force and on my way into Iraq and nothing is better then being able to see such wonderful pictures of home when i am so far away. Go Steelers!

Fantastic!!!

It has been a long time since I have been home but these pictures were wonderful reminders of a terrific city to grow up in.

Living now outside of Richmond it’s great to see the city portrayed in Photos. Great place but too many taxes and Dems.

Great pictures of a beautiful city! Left in 1977 for LA and still miss the place!

We lived there forever and fell in love and were married there.
We loved it out but struck out to Ann Arbor, Michigan for adventure and
found it. But we will always love Pittsburgh. There is no place like home
…….there is no place like home…….. Dorthy was right.

Also moved to FL about 2 years ago. So glad my friend sent us these wonderful pictures. We miss it more than ever now! It was like a visit home. Thanks.

What get memories ….. the best place to live……..

Wow, great stuff!! After 18 years in the flatlands of SW Illinois, I still miss the ‘Burgh. St. Louis may think they’re the “River City”, but it’s a pale imitation.
Thanks to my sister-in-law (who lives in the North Hills) forwarded me this link.

Wonderful, but I can’t believe you left out Heinz Hall!!!!

Good Ol Pittsburgh! Thanks for the memories.

Thanks Gerri! How much I miss Civic Arena, Three Rivers Stadium (now Heinz Field), and Point State Park. Living in Philadelphia is NOTHING like Pittsburgh. GO STEELERS!!!

JUST LOVED THESE. HAVING LEFT PGH IN 1970 FOR BALTIMORE & THEN TO CALIFORNIA, I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THE CITY LINE & CULTURE. TRY TO VISIT FAMILY AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE & MAKE SURE TO RETURN TO MY FAVORITES, IF THEY ARE STILL THERE. HOW YOU HAVE CAPTURED THE ESSENCE OF A WONDERFUL CITY. SOME OF MY FAVORITE HAUNTS… BUT WHERE IS KENNYWOOD?
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR A STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE. ALWAYS WILL THINK OF IT AS HOME.

Thanks so much. I have been telling my friends from everywhere but Pittsburgh, how special it really is. You have captured many of the special sights and that describe the feelings that define Pittsburgh for me.

The pictures were awesome and made me homesick. I live in Virginia and bring friend to Pittsburgh when I visit. I was born in Pittsburgh, and married a Marine, so we are in Quantico Virginia for the last 30 years. Thank you so much!

Beautiful - Hill District sure looks different.

I love Pittsburgh. We moved to Manassas VA 31 years ago but as soon as we retire we’re moving back. There’s no people like Pittsburgh People. We get back a couple times a year to see family, the Steelers, training camp. It will be good to have all of that around us all of the time. Your pictures are fantastic! A book would be wonderful. It would definately be in our home!

THese photos of my home town Pittsburgh are GREAT! I moved from PITT 27 years ago to Kansas City, Missouri.
I just made two recent trips to Pittsburgh, so my friends have been sending things like this to me.
As much as I love living in the midwest, “there’s no place like home”, which in my case is Pittsburgh.
Can’t compliment you enough on your talent for capturing that city so well. Pittsburgh is great, isn’t it? So much character!

Awesome shots! Living in Ohio now, and sure do miss the beauty!!!! Go Steelers!!!!

I really enjoyed these photos. Haven’t lived in the burg for 46 years but still love that place. Go STEELERS

These picture are just great to look at. I think Pittsburgh is a great city and these really show it off. My wife and I go to Pittsburgh to the Strip District just about every Sat. Morning. We hit just about everyone of the places that are pictured at the Strip. DeLuca’s (where you get the best breakfast in town) is a must. Thank you to whoever took these and then put them out there for us to enjoy. Oh, and of course as stated in other comments, “GO STEELERS”..!!

Great pictures Pgh will always be home
Georgia

Driving into Pittsburgh through the Fort Pitt Tunnel with a bus! Always good for the ooooo’s and aaaaah’s from the passengers! No other city like it! No matter which way you enter . . . great views! I always enjoyed hearing what the people behind me would say about OUR skyline! Especially with the fountain at the Point, the Stadiums and the Clipper Fleet below! Where better to enjoy the scenery than Pittsburgh!

THESE PICTURES MADE ME CRY. THEY BROUGHT ME BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD. I NOW LIVE IN TEXAS AND THE BEAUTIFUL PICTURES SHOWED ME WHY I STILL TODAY AND WILL ALWAYS BE SO PROUD TO SAY I WAS BORN IN PITTSBURGH. WITH A SMILE FROM EAR TO EAR I WILL CONTINUE TO STAND OUT IN DALLAS COWBOY COUNTRY WITH MY STEELER JERESY AND BLACK AND GOLD REPRESENTING MY HOMETOWN WITH PRIDE. I LOVE YOU STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I go to the Burg every chance I get, these photos make me want to be there right
now. Probably will be there in October 2007.

Looking at all the photos makes me very home sick you do not know how much you miss home untill you are gone once a Pittsburger always a Pittsburgher forever thank you to all that wrote and took pics.

Had to leave Pgh in Dec. of l979…left with the Houston Oilers on a plane. Sad day.
lived in Houston and Dallas, Tx. til late l980’s…moved to Columbus, Ohio to Greenville, SC and let me tell you…I have been around and travelled and there truly
is “NO PLACE LIKE HOME”…it is still where my heart is, where most of my family still lives…it is more beautiful than any city and it’s people are fantastic!! It is the best kept secret in the world… If I had one wish…it would be to return..
Still working on that…relocating again to North Carolina… WE ARE FAMILY !!!!
Keep spreading that Chicken on the Hill ….. Willy… Loved the downtown area..was
a bartender in Market Square a long time ago…. Anybody familiar with Troy Hill?
Take a tour of that HJ Heinz Pickle Factory??

I’ve been living away from the ‘Burgh for 15 years…but it will always be home. Not only is it the first city with a front door, but one of only a few left with a heart. Never met a ‘burgher that everyone didn’t love. It’s the story we all need to tell..that Pittsburgh is not a city covered in smog and filth, an eternal cloud. It’s heart is in steel, and that blue collar is on every one of us. But the smog has cleared, and everyone can now see that it is full of color, hills to match any SF chase scene, and food to beat any New York market. I hope it stays the best kept secret, so we can continue to enjoy and claim it as the city that is still the same one we grew up in. Primanti’s for the holidays!

Pittsburgh was once described as “Hell with the lid off”, but it still looks like heaven to me…

These are the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen!
You truly capture the most beautiful parts of the Burgh.
We moved from Beaver Falls nearly four years ago and when I see these pictures, it makes me realize how much I miss the Burgh and my hometown.
Keep up the good work!!!

Left the “Burg in 1984 and still miss the city, customs and people every day!!!!!!!!!!!! Have lived in West Virginia, Ohio (twice) and Nashville, TN and there is no place like Pittsburgh. I visit often but can’t wait to move back and after looking at these photos it may be a lot sooner than my husband thinks!!

WOW!! I just had your site forwarded to me and I am amazed at the beautiful photos–and the walk down memory lane that seeing them gave me. Thanks.

I have just been forwarded your Pittsburgh scenes site, and the pictures are breathtaking. Are you planning on publishing your pictures in any form other than the internet? I would love to have (and give) a book that is a collection of your pictures.

WE’VE MOVED TO FLORIDA IN JANUARY OF 2005. AS YET, WE HAVEN’T MET PEOPLE AS FRIENDLY AND DOWN TO EARTH AS WE HAVE BACK HOME IN THE PITTSBURGH REGION. WE MISS YOU ALL MORE THAN WORDS CAN EXPRESS!

REV. RALPH AND CAROL VOLPE

I really think I would appreciate the beauty of this city had the damn lowly Pirates not beaten my beloved Phillies two out of three recently. PHOOEY!!!!!

It will always be “home” even after being gone 30 years. These pictures were incredible. Thank you.

Fabulous! My friend forwarded your wonderful photos to me. I can’t wait to send them on to my children who all live out of state. Maybe these photos will make them homesick. I can’t wait to see more.

Love all the photos…have lived here all my life (53 years) so proud to be a PITTSBURGHER!!!!!!

Wow what a beautiful city I’m from. I always knew it and go back to visit at least once a year. This time in the fall. Pittsburgh is one special city with the most wonderful friendly, hard working people on earth. I’m glad to be a Pittsburgher. Even though I live in Los Angeles. I remember water skiing on the river down by Nevill Island and the Point. I don’t water ski in Malibu. Pittsburgh rules

WOW!!! My cuz from the burgh sent my an email with these pictures and I fell in love!!! They are outstanding!!! They need to be made into prints!! I live in the Louisville, KY. area and the burgh skyline puts ours to shame!! I love Louisville but I could fall in love with the BURGH!! THANKS cuz!

I left when I was 11, but have always come back several times a year to see family and the citry or some ball games. It’s still just as gorgeous as ever. Great pics! Thanks for the wallpaper and screen savers!

your pics are amazing..makes me proud to be a pittsburgher!

Atlanta Georgia is where I live, but Pittsburgh is home. Each visit my mind captures the sights that you so creatively caught. There’s no place like home. Thank you for sharing your art.

I come from a genuine Pittsburgh family that lived in and around Pittsburgh since the 1700’s. My anccesters found refuge at Fort Pitt during the long summers of the Indian wars. My grandparents skated on the Monogahela River in the 1890’s. My father was on Mayor Lawrence’s task force to clean up the dirty air in Pittsburgh.I beat on pots and pans to celebrate the end of the WWII at the corner of 5th and Penn. 12 members of my family have graduated from Pitt. I am 70 years old now, and although I moved away many years ago and have lived in many places..these beautiful photos made my eyes tear and I knew, once again, that I am a child of Beautiful Pittsburgh now and forever. The photos are completely evocative of my true home.

I was born on the North Side and kept moving away to other neighborhoods and even to other states and ended up back here again. If you want a good photo, come up to Troy Hill in the early morning and get a photo of the sunrise from the Vogetly cemetary. The sky is so pink its incredible. And every one to two minutes the picture changes. If you walk away from your window just for a minute and return you get a whole new view to look at. Its a wonderful way to start the day. I hope to spend the rest of my life in Pittsburgh. It’s the best place in the world to live. Your photos are inspirational. Thank you.

Have been back in Pittsburgh for 10 years after living in Michigan for 7- just couldn’t stay away! I wanted to raise my kids in a community where the neighbors cared and where strangers smile and say hello to one another. We gave up very good jobs to come home and I don’t regret it for a minute. I used to watch Mister Rogers neighborhood with my kids to get a glance of the Burgh when I was in Michigan-wish I had these pictures then! Great Pictures of the “Most Livable City” in the country ! My sister in Hawaii will love these pics- she wants to retire to Pittsburgh someday! Great shots..loved the Cathedral(we are both Pitt Grads)! Does anyone remember using Town Talk Bread wrappers to get into Pirate games for free?

Just got this web site from a friend in Pittsburgh and loved the pics, was born and raised in the South Hills and it brought back such great memories….now place like home. Now live in Savannah but Pittsburgh will always be in my heart.

I live in Ma. now, but love to see the city as noone else can. Great job.

I grew up in Pgh and left it in 1973. Still go back to see family tho.
These pictures really capture what is so great about my hometown….

Wonder is “Stephanie” is my sister?? She’s right, I still miss Pittsburgh. Thanks for making our hometown look so beautiful and exciting!

Incredible shots. I’ve been gone ten years but seeing these photos make me homesick. Keep up the good work!!!

Here’s what I love about EVERY response posted…..no matter how old we are, where we live now or when we left, we all share the same sense of the ‘burgh. Why can’t we find other cities just like it? We moved away and spread the spirit of the ‘burgh (and the Steelers) everywhere. Has anyone noticed you can find a Pittsburgh bar in every major city in this country? I am proud to say I’m from Western PA and will glady share this website with all my friends so they can see what I’ve been talking about all these years. PLEASE publish your photos in a book!

Those pix are spectacular and made me homesick. I grew up in Washington, PA but lived in Pittsburgh right after college. I left in 1982 and moved to New York, Boston and now New Jersey. As much as I love living here, my heart is in the ‘burgh. I love coming ‘home’ for visit. And there is an instant bond when I recognize a ‘yinzer’ accent no matter where I am in this country. There is a great Steeler bar here in Hoboken. Keep those great shots coming!!

Even though I’m not a native Pittsburgher, from the time I was little my parents took me to the “city” from nearby Lawrence County. These photos made me yearn to visit that city once again. I’m retired and now live in North Carolina which I dearly love, too. I don’t think there are enough adjectives remaining for me to use to describe these awesome photos. Truly gorgeous!!!

Awesome pictures–we now live in Summerfield, FL, but love getting back home (Monroeville area) at least a couple of times a year. I thank my friend, Helen Rakvic, for sending these to us.

Amazing pictures! I was born and raised near Pittsburgh and it will always be home to me. I am now in Alexandria, Virginia just outside of Washington DC. DC is an exciting place to live, but I definitely miss the ‘burgh. These pictures made me a little homesick and I am looking forward to coming back to visit soon. Thanks Dad for sending this link to me! I will be home soon! :o)

I’ve been gone for 30 years and would go back anytime…Great presentation…Sheila

Pittsburgh est une ville magnifique et comme toute les villes traversées par un fleuve elle montre son âme !
J’ai beaucoup de plaisir d’y venir chaque année , et de la découvrir toujours plus par les yeux de mes petits-enfants qui y vivent !

Pittsburgh is a charming city and will always be.
These photos truly capture the essence of the city.

The photos are beautiful,I used to live in Duquesne and now live in South Jersey between Philly and Atlantic City,the scenery here dosen’t touch the Burgh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ps. They make beautiful backgrounds

Your photos are amazing! I’m speechless. I have been to all the lower 48 states and have to say that Pittsburgh continues to outshine all the rest. I’m aware that there are other towns and small cities that use the name “Pittsburg”, but I always tell people that MY Pittsburgh is spelled with an “H” and that stands for HOME. I don’t live there now, but will again very soon..It’s too difficult not to feel that “pull” of such an incredible city that contains some of the most incredible people….thank you for your very talented time in giving me something I so desprately needed today….to see home!

Beautiful pictures! I grew up in Mt. Lebanon and left 50 years ago. What a change. Spectacular!
Took me back to my childhood memories and the steel mills, South Park etc.. You certainly have
a good eye! Keep it up.

Beautiful pictures!! Never lived there but have visited many times. Love the people. They make you feel right at home. Miss all my family. Would love to visit real soon!

Consistently Superb Photography!

I have lived and worked inside and outside of Pittsburgh all my life. It is a beautiful city, enven in its worst times. The diversity of people and cultures is wonderful. You have a done a great job capturing the city’s essence. I, too, would like to see you do photos of the people of Pittsburgh. In the end, that’s what really makes the city loveable and livable. Thanks for such great work — I am forwarding these photos to everyone in my address book.

Absolutely awesome pics!! Guess you get tired of hearing this, but I was born here ,as well. Born on South Side & lived & most of my young life on Cushman St. Mt. Washington.. My friends & I rode the incline in all kinds of weather & walked every where we wanted to go. It was safe to do that in the 60’s. I especially loved the pic of the Cathederal of Learning. We used to walk up there & I’d pretend I went to school there. Thank you sooo much for these beautiful memories( I have been there recently to see the new sights,aswell) if only my mother & aunt could see these. Cheers to you!!!

These pictures are outstanding. What a beautiful city we live in. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Great photos! I have moved away but a part of me will always be in the ‘burgh. Thanks for sharing.

My favorite city in the USA. It’s beauty unabound, it’s opportunities are plentiful. I see why it was voted one of the 10 best cities to live in. It comes alive at night ! WOW !

GREAT PHOTOS…absolutely gorgeous!! Shows the beauty in the Burgh that people just can’t forget. Lots of us leave and move other places (I’m in Arizona) but “home” is and always will be Pittsburgh. I don’t think I could ever live with those winters again…but these photos sure make me think maybe I could Great eye for unique angles and shots…made me feel like I was there and brought back many memories of warm summer nights. Looking forward to October when we visit home!
