Fineview is certainly named appropriately. It is a fine view from this vantage point.
A neighborhood I’d not visited before…went there with a fellow artist J. on Saturday night. Pittsburgh from the North Side of the city.

Duquesne Incline Operator Revisited
Here’s Chuck Wise again, manning the controls of the Duquesne Incline. He’s been operating the incline for twenty years. During the day he delivers flowers. He ‘graciously allowed me to photograph him again and you can tell there was a Pirates Game Wednesday night.
Here is the orginal post. . Blog Post -Incline Operator in January 2013.
Atop the Stump at the Farm etc.
And a few other pics for the second ATOP gallery.
I was talking with my friend today and said I don’t think I use the word atop in my everyday vocabulary. But I seem to have a few photos from the archives that illustrate it.

What a Difference a Day Makes
Wisdom and Love at Ritter’s Diner
Meet Sophia and Aphrodite.
Last week I made arrangements to photograph Aphrodite for the People at Work Series. Steve and I’ve known Aphrodite for more than 23 years now. Sophia asked me if I knew what Sophia meant and I had to admit I didn’t.
But I do now! Wisdom. And Aphrodite means Love.
I ordered two eggs over medium, dry wheat toast with butter on the side and potatoes with the well done crispy bits. Coffee and a glass of water.
I asked Sophia if I might photograph her, too, and she graciously agreed. I forgot to ask Sophia how long she’s worked at Ritter’s Diner but I know Aphrodite has worked there for 39 years!
Chances are if you’re from Pittsburgh, you’ve had the good fortune to meet both of these wonderful women.
