Rainy day in Pittsburgh

Vachon

Lovely photograph by John Vachon from 1941, for the Farm Security Administration. I can almost feel the raindrops splattering past my flimsy umbrella as I scurry for cover. Seeing this image reminds me to revisit John Vachon's America, a beautiful volume which I've owned for several years but haven't explored nearly enough.
