Pittsburgh is a very pretty city. Frankly, it’s underrated and should be a travel destination for those who’ve never been here before. I took this photo looking down on the PPG building with Heinz Field and the three rivers in the background.

Okay. Next year I either need to get out and take a ton of holiday photos from numerous spots or just post fewer holiday photos….. But this year I didn’t get out much, so you got stuck with numerous photos from PPG Plaza….
Merry Christmas.

Keeping with the Christmas theme, here is a unique perspective of the PPG Christmas Tree and Ice Rink. I’m sure this view has been captured before, but probably not by many. Happy holidays to you and your family.

How’s your life going right now during the holiday season. My December seems to be crazy this year. Too much going on at work and home…..
……I’m ready for things to slow to their normal fast pace. In the meantime, I hope you have a wonderful holiday season.

I took this photo from Mt. Washington looking towards downtown Pittsburgh with the PPG Holiday tree displayed on Market Tree.

I don’t know who took this perspective first, but I’ve seen a ton of Pittsburgh based photographers post this exact composition over the last 6 weeks. So, while we were downtown walking around yesterday capturing the city holiday scene, we captured this as well. Dave posted his version yesterday… Now it’s my turn. I hope you enjoy this copy-cat photo. Happy Holidays.

I got up way to early today (430am) to go into downtown Pittsburgh to meet up with @bradtruxell and @dtruxell . We were on a mission to capture some Christmas themed photos before they disappear for the season and without tons of tourist in the way. We accomplished the mission…..
I took this photo at PPG Place. Every year they turn this courtyard into an ice-skating rink and put a giant holiday tree in the middle. About the only person we ran into was a security guard who was on us in about 30 seconds. He was nice, just watching us closely.

During my photo walk last Wednesday night; we came upon Santa’s House at Market Square in downtown Pittsburgh. As you can see, there was no line waiting to sit on Santa’s lap. You can also drop off your letter to Santa in the mailbox to the left of the house. This is setup in the middle of Market Square, which is little festival area where they hold different events just about every week with little shops and restaurants surrounding this square. The Pittsburgh Plate Glass (PPG) Plaza is next to it and partly attached.
TONIGHT:
MJ and I are going to Community Action Southwest’s Olde Fashioned Christmas fund raising event. I am on the Board of Directors of this wonderful non-profit organization that runs a number of programs, which all strive to eleminate poverty in our community. I donated one of my framed pictures for them to auction off tonight. I hope the organization raises a bunch of money, all of which goes direct to their great programs. If you would like to donate directly and can’t attend tonight, you can do so at:
