"Pittsburgh Pieces" for June 2006 - These photos were taken during a week I was home in June. I went to a couple Pirate games, and took a flight over the city (again), and photographed plenty of other subjects. |

My brother and I went up to the West End Overlook to photograph the sunset. Instead, storms moved in just east of the city and provided spectacular results. |

These pictures are outstanding!!
January 11th, 2009 at 2:21 am
Great job. It never ceases to amaze me how beautiful that city is.
January 11th, 2009 at 9:03 pm
Matt….are you using any HDR or tone mapping with producing these photos? As always, they look great once again. Hopefully in less than a month, you’ll be able to see another Super Bowl parade and post for displaced Pittsburghers.
January 12th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
Great photos as usual! Sharp sparking detail.
January 12th, 2009 at 6:06 pm
NICE PICTURES cant wait to visit
January 12th, 2009 at 6:49 pm
these pictures are amazing!! i wish i could have them as my background. i have never seen anything like these! they are the best

Hi Matt,
Great pictures, it’s been a while since i’ve visited the site. I notice a lot of people who leave replies are Pittsburghers who come here to get a little piece of home. It never ceases to amaze me how when people leave the city, they never forget where they came from and love the city the same as they always have, if not more. I am commenting as a native who still lives here and loves skyline/landscape pictures. Your work is great, keep on doing what you love. To everyone who has moved on and still loves to come back and visit: come back more often! we love it when you are in town!
Go Steelers!

Matt, these pics are great, as usual. However, I have a suggestion. for next time why not show those of us living far away scenes of new construction sites that are underway. Even if they are not in their finished phases, it would be nice to see what’s going on, how the city is transforming. In addition, I remember the churches or cathedrals of Pittsburgh , especially those downtown that were flanked between skyscarpers. I think it would be great to see them again as only you are able to show us.
Thanks!

Nothing less than impressive!!! Great quality shots that show Pittsburgh’s urban fabric. Thanks for sharing your work with us.
January 14th, 2009 at 8:59 am
Your pictures are amazing and I enjoy them immensely! I was wondering if you have any other photos of Heinz Field????
January 17th, 2009 at 12:31 pm
As always, these photos are a treat for the eyes. THANK YOU!!!!
January 17th, 2009 at 10:45 pm
Thank you for continuing your photos of the Burgh. They are, as always, amazing.
January 19th, 2009 at 6:50 am
I just want to say that your photos are amazing and it makes me so thankful that I’m a Pittsburgher and always will be! We have the most beautiful city.
January 19th, 2009 at 7:08 am
Your photos really made pride for Pittsburgh well up in my soul. Thanks
January 20th, 2009 at 10:01 am
Great great stuff. These photos only strengthen that sense of pride that all Pittsburghers undeniably feel. I love too that this allows non-Pittsburghers to see how amazing Pittsburgh is and change peoples’ “dirty town” perception that irritates me so badly. Keep it up.
January 20th, 2009 at 1:11 pm
Hey Matt,
Love the pictures, but one thought you don,t seem to venture out of the city much why not get some pictures of the burg’s burb’s? They are often just as impressive as the city it’s self.
January 21st, 2009 at 5:59 pm
Matt, your photography is fantastic! Although I’m originally from Republic, a small town near Uniontown “down South”, we always considered ourselves a distant suburb. Even now, having lived near Cleveland for 45 years, your photos bring back fond memories and and a deep pride in the city of Pittsburgh, it’s people and their character.
Go Steelers !
February 3rd, 2009 at 7:32 pm
Matt,
Those are some amazing pictures. I used to live in Washington, Pa.
Love the steelers.

Love the views of Lawrenceville! Love that neighborhood!
March 12th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
I want to move back! Great photos, as always.
March 20th, 2009 at 8:41 pm
Breathtaking work as usual Matt! There is no place like Pittsburgh, the best people in the world! One of the most beautiful places in America!
March 22nd, 2009 at 5:01 pm
Every time I feel a little homesick, all I have to do is come to this site, and it seems to wash the blues away. Cant wait for more wonderful pics of the best city in the world!!! The Burgh will always be home, no matter where I am!!!
March 22nd, 2009 at 8:06 pm
Matt you capture the city like no other!! People who visit here and come through the tunnels and see the city for the first time are breathless, just like your pictures!
March 25th, 2009 at 5:29 pm
ATTENTION ALL PITTSBURGH TRANSPLANTS: If you are homesick and want to be close to home. Log on to http://www.kdkaradio.com between 6 and 9 am., and listen to the morning show streaming live on the internet. It contains national, international, and local news, but most importantly, they throw in all the stories that make Pitsburgh, Pittsburgh. It’s the next best thing to Matt’s work or going home to visit!!!
Peace

Thanks for making me “HOMESICK”!!!!!!!!!!!
September 27th, 2009 at 12:54 pm
Matt
As always, simply OUTSTANDING!! Thank you for including the Observatory–there IS no place like home!!
December 19th, 2009 at 10:08 pm
I hope that Pittsburgh leadership remembers that this is one of the few cities in the United States that has a substantial amount of older homes that offer a real charm of what inner city life can be in America. Unfortunately, most cities have already destroy the areas around the Downtown center to make way for freeways, imminent domain land grabs, expansion of enterprise zones, etc. I know some housing in Pittsburgh may be below standards, but it would be a worthwhile gesture to offer assistance to people to repair housing or business, thereby offering jobs and increasing tax bases for the entire city. Look around Pittsburgh, you may the last in the U.S. to fall. Of course, excellent photography!
February 22nd, 2010 at 1:43 pm
I want to use one of your pictures for my new tattoo. I was looking for pictures that capture the city and you have done like no other. Thank you so much for sharing your art!!
February 22nd, 2010 at 9:42 pm
WOW, great pics of the Burgh, my home town. Your photos speak for themselves, Truly Awesome! Thank you and keep it up..
