conservatives used to mock anti-vaxxers as clueless libs but as soon as it became associated with the right it took over the party and became a mainstream threat to public health

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.
