“Art is the antidote that can call us back from the edge of numbness, restoring the ability to feel for another.”
— Barbara Kingsolver

Or perhaps, as Amie McNee once said,
“Art is the antidote for so many others’ pain.”

Then there’s Truman Capote’s take:
“The serious artist is like an object caught by a wave and swept to shore. He’s obsessed by his material; it’s like a venom working in his blood — and the art is the antidote.”

Which one speaks to you most?

Thank you for your patience while I am searching for the reason to continue my efforts here.

I’ve got a soft spot for Pittsburgh—it feels like Buffalo’s sister city. Both born from steel and smoke, rebuilt on grit and heart. You can feel that same pulse in the murals under old bridges, the corner bars where everyone still talks like family, and the way both cities wear their history with pride instead of polish. The arts scene here has that same raw, working-class soul—music, film, and street art rising straight out of the rust.

On this trip with my oldest daughter, we stopped by Randyland—a riot of color and creativity tucked into the North Side. It felt like stepping inside someone’s imagination, the same kind of hope that both our cities hold onto no matter what. Pittsburgh gets it the way Buffalo does—real, resilient, and full of soul.

The chapel crumbled behind its fence of headstones, their jagged teeth gnashing at the soil. Yet the air did not hold us there. From the tree line the crows gathered, their black forms half-hidden, their cries a language older than prayer. They did not forbid our passage—they beckoned. Each call tugged us forward, deeper into the woods, as though the ruin was merely a threshold, and the true secret waited in the shadows beyond.

A surprisingly well-preserved X-ray wing hidden inside an abandoned State Hospital—once written off as an “insane asylum.” A local explorer has spent years clearing dust and debris, even restoring artifacts to their original places, giving this wing an eerie sense of being frozen in time. Though this section has sat untouched since the late 1990s, a newer mental health facility and forensics unit still operate just 30 feet away. With sworn NYS peace officers patrolling the grounds, slipping into this building isn’t just exploration—it’s a high-stakes game of stealth.

A few glimpses inside one of Western New York’s sleeping giants—an abandoned steel plant that’s been standing silent for nearly three decades. The air feels heavy here, like walking onto the set of The Road or Blade Runner 2049, where nature claws its way back through rusted beams and twisted machinery. The contrast is jarring and beautiful—lush green spilling over skeletal towers, sunlight cutting through collapsing brick exterior like a projector reel burning through its final frames.

Every corner whispers of the men who once forged the bones of America inside these walls—Buffalo’s steelworkers, whose sweat and fire shaped skylines and shipyards. Now their empire of iron sits hollow, yet strangely alive, a cathedral of industry slowly collapsing into wilderness. Exploring here feels less like trespassing and more like walking through the closing credits of a movie that built the world we live in.
