W. Eugene Smith was one of the greatest photojournalists in the history of photography. In 1955 he was commissioned to do “the Pittsburgh project,” for which he took over 10,000 photographs of the city.
BEST REVIEW EVER.

Pittsburgh, Pa.
Forget the notion that Pittsburgh is a gritty, steel industry town. The city has reinvented itself with a vibrant arts scene, cool outdoor spaces and unique festivals. In fact, National Geographic Traveler magazine rated it among the top must-see places in the world for 2012. Our favorite spots include the Andy Warhol Museum (the artist was born here), Phipps Conservatory and a ride on a historical funicular called the Monongahela Incline. And while the city’s most noteworthy contribution to the culinary world has been to slap French fries atop supersized salads, Pittsburgh is becoming a foodie town, with upscale restaurants in the downtown Strip District and a wealth of ethnic eateries sprinkled around town.
My favorite bridge, the 16th.
Bearpope, this is sweet.
