WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: LOST IN THE DETAILS
FACE OF MAN
Look close at the face of this man in the mural. Â What do you see lost in the details?
ALL THE LITTLE PEOPLE
WHERE DO THEY ALL COME FROM?
A few years ago I started noticing all the wonderful wall murals located in and around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  I soon realized that each community had a mural that represented life in their neighborhood.  It was then I started photographing these murals to compile into a coffee table book that would tell the story of Pittsburgh’s many neighborhoods as seen through the paintings on the wall murals.
The above mural is part of a larger mural that scans the entire length of the Martin Luther King East Busway Station in Wilkinsburg. Â The “little people” who make up the man’s face, to me, represent the faces of the people who commute from the Pittsburgh suburbs to work in the downtown area.
What is your interpretation of the people in the face of this man.

The mural runs along the east busway in Wilkinsburg. It is located on each side of Penn Avenue pass McDonalds coming from town. Coming from Monroeville on Parkway East get off at Wilkinsburg exit, follow Admore Blvd to Penn Ave turn left at CVS , the mural starts at South Avenue. You can’t miss it. Once you see that end go back to fire station on right, turn left and you can see the rest of the mural that runs across Penn Avenue to Wallace Street pass Popeye’s Chicken. I would suggest you park in CVS parking lot and walk to see mural located near the fire station. I hope this was helpful. Pittsburgh offers a lot to see. I hope you enjoy your visit. If you need any other help, just email me.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!

It’s the little people that made and continues to make big changes and contributions in this world. They are our quiet heroes who do things with the sincerity of their hearts.
