The lobby of One PPG Place. Father Pitt has decided to round up a random number (twenty-nine, as it turns out) of pictures from 2024 that he thought had exceeded his usual standard, and here they are to goad him into doing better next year.

This picture of tombstones in Clinton Cemetery was taken with an Argus A, which is going on 90 years old, on Kentmere Pan 100 film, and developed in a monobath. It was meant to be a picture for Halloween, and it succeeded in creating exactly the right mood.
Armstrong monument in the South Side Cemetery.
A Novembery picture of a stairway on Acorn Hill.
The back slopes of Mount Washington, seen with a long lens from Beltzhoover.
The roofline of the Haller Baking Company building in Emsworth.
A picture of some houses on Baywood Street in East Liberty. It looks like nothing special, but that is the point of it. It illustrates the streetscape very well, and in composition and color it is one of Father Pitt’s favorite pictures to look at.
