Ohiopyle
In preparation for our backpacking trip to Dolly Sods next week, Kristin and I headed out to Ohiopyle for some day hiking. A nice hike, but it was very hot...it's suddenly summer out here in PA.

A return to Claysmith.
I've had the pleasure of photographing both the workspace and products of my good friend Garret Smith. His studio has seen a bit of renovation since my last post in 2014, so I stopped by today to get some updated shots. Today he was working on a casting mold for an ice cream bowl soon to be in stock at one of Pittsburgh's most popular new spots--Millie's Ice Cream!

Apteka
Another weekend, another great Pittsburgh restaurant. This time, Kristin and I made our much-anticipated trip to Apteka, one of the most intriguing new spots in the city.
Pierogies are somewhat of a local delicacy in Pittsburgh, and they can be found anywhere from dive bars to upscale bistros. It's not unusual to see them served in creative and gourmet ways, but it's less usual to see them on a menu alongside other equally creative Eastern European fare. So Apteka to the rescue. We only had a short visit, but enough to come away feeling even better about the local Pittsburgh food scene. (I was pleased to see local breweries like Roundabout represented here as well!) I love living in a city that can foster so many unique food concepts. Though my interior shots don't do it justice (crowded this evening), the space is beautifully designed as well--I hope to be back soon to capture more of it!
