I let Michael set the pace. Two grandsons at the Carnegie Museum of Art and Natural History in a week’s time.
At the Museum
Thursday, my sister Mary and I went to the Carnegie Museum of Art to see the photography exhibit Gordon Parks in Pittsburgh 1944-1946 .
While we roamed around the other galleries, I documented our visit with two selfies. One where we are looking quite svelte on our reflection in Heart Pavilion by artist Dan Graham who passed February 2022. Click his name to read his obit. .

Being a tourist in my own city
When you turn 65 in Pittsburgh you can apply for a free PAT bus pass.
Monday morning I went downtown on the 71 B. I am going to familiarize myself with schedules and routes but having a smart phone is a big help
You can pick the stop where you’re waiting it tells you how many minutes until a bus arrives. My plan is to visit all of the 88 neighborhoods in the city of Pittsburgh.
Here’s Day One of my Free Bus Pass Photography Adventure.
Me waiting at Highland and Bryant for the 71 B to go downtown.
Meet Kevin M. who accepted my medicare card until I get the pass.
His portrait will be wonderful in the People at Work show next July.

I went to the City County Building where I was greeted by a sign and a bronze statue of Mayor Caligiuri

St. Paul Cathedral as I went to the next Bus Stop to get to Shadyside where they were setting up a Vintage Car Show on Walnut Street
Cars arriving in trailers I caught the next bus on Highland Avenue and guess who my driver was? Yep you guessed. Turns out Kevin went to the same high school as my sons but he was a class ahead of Mark.
Steve and I took a ride up to Shadyside later to see the vintage cars but it was raining
Sculpture Court Puddle Reflections
With raindrops.
Without.
Wet pavement and textured concrete.

Trying to find attribution to sculpture court artwork is challenging on the CMOA website.
Monday afternoon
We need rain but it’s coming so fast and furious on Tuesday, it’s running off and forming problems on roadways, causing flooding in some areas.
In context. Sculpture Court Carnegie Museum of Art.
Looks Like Change of Seasons
In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Change.”

I was waiting on a bench in the lobby while Matthew and Natalya were in the galleries.
I saw the light stream through the windows onto the floor.
A family was examining a portion of the Sebastian Errazuriz: Look Again exhibit.
You might remember The Piano hanging overhead in the Hall of Architecture before Thanksgiving?

One Shiny Shoe and a Good Thing I’d Eaten Dinner
My neighbors invited me to accompany them to the Carnegie Museum of Art for the opening reception of Storyteller: The Photographs of Duane Michals. The exhibition was curated by Linda Benedict- Jones and is quite impressive, requiring a return visit to take the show in when it’s less crowded.
In the Hall of Sculpture after the remarks, i was standing on the lighted glass floor and so were three others. Our 4 pairs of black shoes with the light coming from the floor below.
Photographer Martha Rial and I had our phones out, capturing the pattern. I call it One Shiny Shoe.

Here is a man looking closely at the photos of Andy Warhol and his mother Julia.
When I got to the refreshments table there were a few grapes
Good to eat dinner before you go
A lot of people must have been hungry
Some of you saw this on FB already but here I am in the Hall of Architecture under the artwork “The Piano” by Chilean Artist Sebastian Errazuriz
I asked a random museum goer if he’d take my photo. He’d already taken a selfie under the 800 pound piano.
When I showed this photo to the high school students, they said I was crazy to stand under it. I said, wouldn’t it be funny to have a tall ladder and some hedge clippers? They groaned.
Mark said it looked like I was in a Looney Tune.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Work of Art
Last Monday night at the Art for Change auction I bid and won a very cool work of art by photographer Scott Roller-
this is what I see when I come out of an upstairs room now.
Subway Face. A poster in the subway, peeling off the wall.
It is a compelling gaze. Not sure who it was to begin with but you keep looking at it and wonder.
The deteriorated shape of the poster really adds to the mood and make it original. Click on Scott’s name and see his 66 Shots series from a trip on Route 66.
He prints, mats and frames his photographs. Works of art!

Anna helps decorate her brother Michael’s First Communion Cake.
A work of art! She wrote his name on it. A chocolate pound cake- (gluten free) with vanilla buttercream icing. Thanks to Aunt Mary for helping piece adequate parchment paper into the cross shaped pan so there were no cracks when it was extricated from the pan.
