For this first finds assignment, I created a picture of myself as a nostalgic, home town girl, who is very much connected to school and academic work. My finds center around ways in which my memories connect to my academic work. Although there are not many images that make this connection explicit, the juxtaposition of personal images from the past and present show a focus both on history and on academic work.
My favorite view of Pittsburgh
My old favorite view of Pittsburgh used to be the city comming out of the Fort Pitt Tunnels, but, since Three Rivers' Stadium is no more, the third base line of PNC Park does just fine. This picture struck my eye because it captures the ball park, the weather (Pittsburgh grey) and the city before a spring storm. The orange tint on the buildings, the light blue poking out of the Pittsburgh grey clouds, and the rainbow all promise a clam to the evening and a night of cheering on a team that we all love.
