Pittsburgh, 4 Years Worth

Jayayess1190 · September 6th, 2009, 08:46 PM

This will be my thread on photos of the city of Pittsburgh, PA USA. I will be here until 2013 for college (U of Pittsburgh), so this will be my photo thread.

So I begin with this, welcome to Pittsburgh.

Jayayess1190 · September 6th, 2009, 09:38 PM

For today, I will start with some photos of the University of Pittsburgh campus.

The Cathedral of Learning, sticking out behind the Towers

The Towers, triplet dorm buildings. After staying in one during my orientation, I am glad that I do not live in them, despite them being my top choice for living. They have thin walls (so it seems to me). During my night in them, there was construction going on nonstop all night, and it was very loud.

The Peterson Events Center:

Buildings on Fifth Ave on campus:

Part of the university's medical center, UPMC:

Memorial Hall, a space for performances:

Nice start.

Chadoh25 · September 7th, 2009, 12:51 PM

Very nice! Pittsburgh is such a cool city!

Jayayess1190 · September 7th, 2009, 08:35 PM

Here are some night photos, I will retry them next year once I get a camera that can take night photos better (hopefully a nice compact Panasonic with Son'ys new low light sensor):

Waiting for the bus late Sunday night. Downtown is a ghost town after the work day ends, and on the weekends is empty and is an urban paradise devoid of people:

The Skyline from the Smithfield Street Bridge

Station Square

A creepy walkway next to some street

Some deer I encountered at a light rail station

Not too long ago I went downtown and walked along one of the rivers. It was a not great out kind of rainy and gray.

The Pirates play here:

These was taken on a different day:

It'll be interesting to see more from this city, thanks for sharing.

Looking forward to more pictures over the school year.

No bitching, moaning, or groaning when the rest of the serviced areas get new channels or faster speeds, but you don't.

awesome pics and project, good luck.

have you heard of W. Eugene Smith? he went to Pittsburgh on assignment to photograph it for its centennial; he ended up staying several years and taking 21,000 photos. http://www.ralphmag.org/DY/smith-photographer.html

No, never heard of him. I don't think I'll be taking that many photos though!

***VelesHomais*** · September 14th, 2009, 02:04 AM

Nice pictures! Can't wait to visit Pittsburgh, I wish it was 5 hours closer to New York though...

Chadoh25 · September 14th, 2009, 02:46 AM

Sweet photos dude!

Jayayess1190 · September 15th, 2009, 06:08 AM

Sorry about the blown highlights

Looking down Fifth Ave, buses on this street heads back to campus:

Some robot:

Looking up while waiting for the bus:

The 6th Street Bridge to the North Shore:

The 7th Street Bridge:

Houses by Negley Station on the MLK jr. East Busway:

Downtown Pittsburgh has plenty of great architecture:

Station Square:
