Photographer's Note
Taken in a section of Pittsburgh known as East Liberty, a neighborhood which was formerly one of the wealthiest areas of the city during the Industrial Revolution, in the time of the robber-barons such as Carnegie, Frick and Mellon. It became a slum during the 1960s and 1970s. The fine buildings and parks deteriorated. However, the area is now experiencing a rebirth and the buildings and houses are being reclaimed.
This shot shows the tops of three very different structures that typify the skyline of Pittsburgh - religious, decorative and industrial. I liked the descending angle from left to right created by the positions of the buidings.

Sandy,
Too many people have forgotten how beautiful black-and-white photography can be. Your photo from Pittsburg is a fine example of that. The focus is incredibly sharp, and I love the subject and the composition. I would like to see a little more contrast in the higher tones, but that's just a minor point. You've done a great job here.
Bill
