It was a bitter cold January 2009 and we found ourselves in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for a little gig called DJ Junior’s Rockabilly Riot.  My husband’s band at the time (Rumbledaddy) was playing this event.  A lot of our travels revolve around gigs, which is convenient when you get a little cash to hit the road.  We are relatively early risers so even though we hit the bed around 4 am we often are up very early the next day and venturing out into the nuances of whatever little area we are in.  Now this is just one of several trips to the Pittsburgh music scene, ah there are so many great memories and pictures, but only two for today.  After our complimentary breakfast we began our adventure.  This was pre-motorhome time so we stayed in only the finest of hotels such as the Comfort Inn.  We had decided we needed to check out the Duquesne Incline and an area called the South Side. Now my Parents had taken my Brother and I to Pittsburgh in our travels when we were young.   I don’t remember much about the trip except the Incline was in my memory a giant track that went up a mountain!  Now we all know better than this, but in a child’s eyes it is pretty spectacular, and in my grown up eyes it was just as spectacular.  Oh my, the tracks-the lines-the history- the architecture-the cables and gears.   My mind raced with images, it was like candy for my brain.  This particular image is of the room at the top where the giant cables are.  The room smelled of metal and oil, the smooth whirring of the cables was music to my ears. 

I really enjoy the sights and sounds of Pittsburgh.  After we left the incline we headed over to the Church Brew Works to warm up and fill our bellies with some delicious food.  There will be more stories and more photos from different trips to Pittsburgh in the future.

    I could say photographer, but I am a collector of minutes in time, visual memories.
