Once again I missed publishing my post do tonight your getting another double dose.
This one was from my trip to Mt. Washington. I really like the light steams that are made from the cars on the roadways. They just seem to give the city a little more life.
What do you think?
Tonight’s photo is a shot from atop Mt. Washington overlooking the beautiful city of Pittsburgh, Pa. I’ve shot from here dozens of times but every time I am amazed at the view of the city. It’s really an amazing place to watch the city transform from daylight, to evening, and then night. It’s as if the city takes on a completely different personality when the sun drops and the lights come on.
I call this photo Night Helicopter as the streak of light on the right side was a helicopter flying by headed towards Oakland.
Yesterday I came home and started to upload the photos that I took for my 365 project, sat down on the couch and woke up this morning at 6:38am. Needles to say I missed adding my photo for yesterday. So tonight I’m going to post both yesterday and todays photos.
This photo was shot just as the sun was going down over the city. What caught my eye was the way the sunset reflected off of the building.
One of these days, I’m going to publish a book of all the pictures I did not take. It is going to be a huge hit. – Rene Burri
As a rule I don’t talk about religion and politics. I have found that these two subjects often lead to the end of a friendship or at least one person going away mad. So tonight’s photo does not express my thoughts on the subject it is merely something I saw on the street.
Choice?

If your ever in downtown Pittsburgh I recommend Mike and Tony’s Gyros. Just don’t spend a lot of time looking around inside true place LOL. The food is excellent and priced reasonably.
The guy in this photo didn’t seem to like the idea of having his photo taken but I just liked the expression on his face, which seems to depict his feelings about me taking the photo.
Have you found a particular way that seems to work when doing street photography that allows you to get the shot and not have problems with the people in the photo? I’m open to any suggestions.
What defines speed?
Physics defines speed as Speed is the rate of motion, or the rate of change of position. It is expressed as distance moved (d) per unit of time(t). Speed is a scalar quantity with dimensions distance/time. Speed is measured in the same physical units of measurement as velocity, but does not contain an element of direction. Speed is thus the magnitude component of velocity. Velocity contains both the magnitude and direction components.
Ok I know that’s a little heavier than what your use to from me. But tonight as I was walking through the city I caught a glimpse of the car in tonight’s photo. Which made me think if the 1970 Boss 302 Mustang that I grew up around and rode in every summer. The Mustang was a fun car to ride in but it wasn’t as fast off the line as the 1970 1/2 Z28. So the question arises what is speed? Is speed just going fast, maybe 80mph, 100mph, 150mph? Or is speed what you feel as you accelerate from 0 to 100? I’m not really sure how you might define it, but either way it’s fun.
Photography is the power of observation, not the application of technology – Ken Rockwell
If you had to live your life out of a bag, could you? Could you survive without your phone, computer, TV, and internet? I’m old enough to remember a time before the internet and cell phones. But it’s hard to think about leaving the house without my phone today. I’ve actually driven miles away from the house and turned around to get my phone.
In todays photo I don’t know if the person is truly living out of the bags or just moving some of the possessions. But I thought about the person after I took the shot and wondered if they really were living out of the bags, could I do that if I had to?
At your worst are you really that bad off?
