Pittsburgh
1980–1990
I came back to live in Pittsburgh in 1975. I could see the city was changing and evolving into what would ultimately be called a “Renaissance”, and I wanted to make a photographic document of this change. In 1980 I received a National Endowment for the Arts survey grant to photograph this evolutionary process, so I picked up my 8 x 10 Deardorff camera and photographed the “Pittsburgh Project” over the next ten years.—JPD
