It's Tuesday, so that means it's time to get an opportunity to see Pittsburgh through the lens of Pittsburgh photographer, Gary Gayda. Before we get to this week's shot, a brief reminder that Gary will be displaying his work this weekend at the arts and crafts show on Shiloh Street on Mt.Washington, so if you like what you see here at "P.B. & G.", well you'll be able to multiply it by about a hundred at Ga
ry's showing there!This week we're going to delve into the world of classic, black and white photography with two images for you (since we heard that you've been good).
ABOVE: Photographer Gary Gayda can be reached for prints of your favorite photos by contacting him directly at GMGayda@yahoo.com. Simply specify the photo number and size that you're interested in and he will respond to your request.
So sit back now and soak in another riveting episode of:
"Pittsburgh, Through The Lens of Gary Gayda.

If it wasn't for the jumbotron scoreboard, you'd swear this was taken in 1899.
