Five Photographers Offer an Eye on Pittsburgh by Kurt Shaw.
Dylan, Mark and I were on hand at the opening reception to the PITTSBURGH a century of photography show. We are all three teachers and many of our students from Pittsburgh Filmmakers and Carnegie Mellon University,were in attendance, as well a number of friends, family and clients. It was great to talk about photography and Pittsburgh with so many people.
I ran into Clyde "Red" Hare this past Wednesday, he was unable to make the reception but I know he wanted to be there. Red took a picture of the Heinz Endowments, DOWNTOWN NOW photography team.
One of the real highlights of the PITTSBURGH show, reception, was seeing the work juxtaposed in one place. From Luke Swank's Pittsburgh to Clyde's through to my own. Same city, such different perspectives. As Mark Perrott said to me as my wife Jennifer Pesci-Kelly took our picture in front of the Luke Swank wall, "This is a good night for Photography in Pittsburgh." And he was right.
