Even though this is a short group, these are some of the best pictures you’ve taken in a while. Great job.

Wonder which house was grandma’s! Beautiful pics of home!

I absolutely love your photographs. As a Pgher now living in Chicago I really appreciate these images and the attention to detail you incorporate. Great job!

I would love to see a Kennywood series!

Born and raised in the Burg, but now living in Nashville for the last twenty-three years. Greeeaat pictures, kinda makes you homesick. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. Am I mistaken, or is the picture labeled “16 Street Bridge” really the 10 Street Bridge into the South Side?

maybe u could go into tall buildings and go to top, and take photos up there

Thank you for the beatuiful pictures of Pittsburgh. I moved from there less then a year ago and I miss the city views everyday! Is there anyway to purchase any of your shots? Thanks again for the new photos!

I was born in Pittsburgh in 1947. Moved away at age 3. Went back often to visit relatives until they were all gone.
Went back this past July for the first time in many years. I’ve been to NYC, D.C., Boston, Jacksonville, Cincy, Cleveland, St.Louis, KC, Denver, Miami, Tampa, Atlanta. Memphis, Dallas, and many more. Pittsburgh is still the best…and now the most beautiful. Thanks for the photos.

Matt, I was posting on ESPN.com about the steelers. There are a lot of ignorant city bashers that never left their home town on that site. They were posting about how Pittsburgh was a filthy industrial town. I just posted a link of to your site, and all of a sudden I got responses like, “Wow, thats what Pittsburgh looks like.” Great job. You gather the soul, character, and beauty of our town!

As a native Pittsburgher living in Philly, it makes me homesick everytime you put up a new series. Alot of people out here have no idea about Pittsburgh until they visit and most have nothing but good things to say about it.

These pics were amazing i never seen them before now but i am hooked

WOW! Amazing pics! Just like others have mentioned, I myself was born and raised in the burgh, now living in eastern, PA. I’m so happy to see the wonderful pictures. And like the others, these pics make me homesick too!!! Keep up the great work. THANK YOU for giving us all the opportunity to see our home with just a click of a button!

Hey! Thats my bike in the first picture of the “southside pedestrian”! Awesome pictures

There’s no place like home – no place like home – no place like home! How I wish with the click of my heels I could be back home in the burgh. Your website is my only ticket home and it makes me cry everytime I visit it. Keep up the good work – it’s a ministry to those of us homesick.

Really good work, Matt!! You have a good eye for composition and lighting. I’d like to see you do a series of the Oakland/Shadyside area and perhaps more views from the rivers. I was born and raised in Crafton, but have lived elsewhere for many years. Great to see how the city has changed….and yet in so many ways remains the same!

Enjoyed your pics. Brought back many fond memories of Pittsburgh. Employment took us away from the Burgh 40 years ago, but it is still “home” in our hearts. Thanks for the memories.

Great Job as always. Feels like I’m home.

Since im out at school in ohio I only get to come home and holidays and few and far between little weekend get aways. the great pictures hold me over and it reminds me just how beautiful this city really is. but hey, im only and hour and a half away so i better make it soon. until next time….amazing work!

some stunning pics here. makes me want to come home even sooner from LA

I don’t know what it is about Pittsburgh…. but I will always love it and will always consider it home.
Thanks for the visuals.

I NEVER get tired of looking at your work. Great pics!

These are awesome pics. Thank you for putting them on a website for burghers to enjoy. Loved them all. Here we go Steelers, here we go!

Great Pics. I have some photos on my site too, obviously not as good as these ones though!

Fantastic photos of a magnificent city. I now understand why you {Olga} never wanted to leave this beautiful city. Please let me know how you are and where you are now.

just spectacular……..

YINZ TOOK SOME GREAT SHOTS OF DAHNTAHN AN AT.

Seriously, you take the best pictures of the Burgh! I’ve moved to DC, but whenever I miss it, I log onto your website and these pics take me right back home. I love showing co-workers and friends your work too. Great representation of this great city!

I have never seen such beautiful pictures of the city. Having lived here and there I had the chance to come back, and I am so glad I could. Your pictures capture the true beauty of Pittsburgh.

Fantastic Job! I am a native of the Steel City, now living in the Atlanta area. My friends here often joke about how much I talk about the Burgh. One of them understand because he visited Pittsbugh often when he played basketball for Seton Hall. It seems like you don’t appreciate Pittsburgh until you move away. Everytime I ivist home I try go to the top of Mt. Washington and just look. I have family living there that has never been up there at all. They have no idea what they are missing. Please keep the pictures coming.

Have moved away and am happy where I am (better winters!) but I will always love the ‘burg. Go Steelers.

No matter where you’re at no place but Pittsburgh will ever be home. I grew up as a “city kid” in Mt. Washington and these pictures take me right back to when me and my friends were hangin out on Grandview Ave. , goofing off after school. Then I took it all for granted. Now I realize what a special & magical childhood I had raised in a safe, beautiful city. Thank you !!!

I’m from McKeesport and left the area in 1972. I can’t believe your pictures have not been digitally refined. The Pgh. I knew looked nothing like this……..dirty water, polluted air, no plants able to grow on the hillsides above the rivers. If Pgh. can turn around like this, then so can other pollution riddled areas!

Absolutely breathtaking. I am so going to so e-mail these to my “non-Pittsburgh” friends to see what they are missing. Also to friends who left but still have Pgh in their hearts. Thank you for your conscientious, time consuming and most amazing hobby/skilled craft.

Yoy, that’s enough to make me homesick, and I didn’t even grow up in the city. Outsiders will never fully understand, but your photos will get them close. THANKS, keep em coming!

I moved to Fla. in 1994 and really miss those days in downtown Pittsburgh and the Southside. I do get homesick when I see these pictures

i would love to see pics of churchill..monroeville and plum…to show my husband who has never see my hometown!!!

These pictures make me SO homesick… But they’re so beautiful. How ’bout some pictures of Kennywood and The Waterfront?

Yes, please do an Oakland/University series. Would they let you in the Nationality Classrooms?

These are spectacular. Thank you so much for sharing!

I have been in the military for over two years now and stationed in Louisiana. These are some of the best reminders of why home is such a great place

Wow! My husband was born in Pittsburgh but moved away when he was young. We are moving back there in a year or two. These pictures make me want to move now!

There are no other words that have not been spoken about your photos. However I could not go without saying how much i love them.

I love these pictures, my favorites are: The Duquesne Incline Vista and the Rush hour on the Liberty Bridge.

never been in USA in Pittsburgh either.pictures are great.always waiting for the new series.

oh to be back in the oyster house and to see the pirates and steelers play…haven’t been in pgh since 1970. thanks for these photos…pittsburgher in exile in california

I need a top view picture of pittsburgh. I’m doing a mural for the National Kidney Foundation. It will be displayed in the convention center in Pittsburgh. Can you email me some pictures to view?

These pictures are so nice and really make me homesick! Unless you have lived in Pittsburgh and have experienced this city people really can’t understand what a wonderful city it is! GO STEELERS beat some Bungholes and Cleveland Clown butts , they don’t have a chance! LOL!!

I really enjoy showing off these pictures of the Burgh! I email this site to friends and relatives and they are always in awe of the natural beauty. I checked out alot of the other photography on metroscenes.com, I must say that to me, pittsburgh is the most unique, and beautiful. Keep em coming!

I have been away from “HOME” too many years,what a wonderful play to have been born and raised in!!! I would go back in a haeart beat,,,Spent a lot of time on those streets of the Southside,traffic on all the bridges and slid down many hills in the winter Thanks for all the series. One of my dear friends sent them to me and I have made them my background.

I’ve lived in pittsburgh for many years,My heart will always be in the burgh!! seeing these pictures captures the Beauty
of the Burgh!! thanks now I should golook foe airline tickets…lol

“Not a whole lot of places with views like this one”
Where was this picture taken? That is a great picture!!!
