It’s been a while since I did a photo walk in downtown Pittsburgh. This photo is from just before the pandemic. It is weird how time seems to have changed speed during COVID. Some things appear to be going faster and some slower. The pandemic has negatively impacted my photography opportunities.
Regardless, I always liked this photo with the city bus passing by as I took the exposure.
I honestly couldn’t remember which city this was form unit I zoomed in on the bus. Either I’m getting too old or there have been too many trips. It has to be age because you can never have too many trips.
How is your Wednesday? I hope you had a wonderful time.
Chernobyl Bus Station: I took this photo during our trip to the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone in Ukraine. This bus station in Pripyat is pretty cool. As you can tell, mother nature is taking over……

This is one of my favorite spots in Detroit. The Michigan Central Station in the background is a wonderful spot. The evening I took this photo, my group had 5 drones flying around at the same time (which was interesting)…. More importantly, the sky was magical that night to help make this photo special.

I haven’t posted a Detroit photo in a while, so here we go. We had a hit list of Detroit Urbex locations to hit up, but we also explored some sites that we randomly found, just driving around. That’s the story of this spot. We went to the Michigan Central Station (the building outside the window) to photograph the area around it. During that time, we found this abandoned beauty with great views like this photo. I took a bunch of window photos like this one at this spot.

While we were exploring Detroit, I captured this video of this church steeple with the Michigan Central Station in the background via my drone. Is this interesting or the most boring video of all time?
This building is usually very restrictive when it comes to photographers. But a few weeks back, the “Open Doors Pittsburgh” event allowed the public to have access to buildings that are normally off limits. So I took advantage of that situation and captured some great photos all over downtown Pittsburgh.
This building used to be the train and bus station back in the day. Today is has a number of executive apartments inside it and some of the larger common spaces are used as event locations. So this former bus/train terminal is now a wedding reception venue. I love it.

MJ is out of town for very long business trip and I miss her dearly. I can’t wait for her to get home next week and in the mean time, I’ll just keep missing her.
Tonight’s photo is from the Pioneer Square Station in downtown Seattle. I took this last late last year when I was out there for work. I had a few days to photograph the city and I made good use of my time. I took this picture at around midnight. The only people in the station were the police, the homeless and I.

During my time in Seattle, I had a packed photography agenda covering lots of the city and the surrounding area. One of the planned locations was the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel station called Pioneer Square Station. I arrived at this location at around 11pm and the place was basically empty. The station is huge, so the 20 homeless people, 5 police and I had lots of room to avoid each other. Although, I’ll admit that 3 different police officers stopped me for taking photos. I thought that was interesting since the homeless can live in the station, but photographing the facility apparently isn’t allowed.
Anyway, this station handles the Sound Transit Central Link light rail trains, Sound Transit buses and King County Metro buses. It is completely underground with entrances at the corners. I don’t know about you, but I think there is beauty in the design of this station.
