    Ardon LXXXIII says:

    "Bob's is not your typical flickr photo stream, but a lesson in the history of an area that has seen both the glory, and demise of what manufacturing once was in and around Western Pennsylvania. As you peer through his stream it won't take you long to see that Bob is not only a talented photographer, but also has one of the most expansive and thought provoking catalogs on flickr. I would encourage any one wether they be a new photographer just starting out, or a seasoned veteran to take a long look at his photo stream. I promise you will not be disappointed!"

    "Bob documents the landscape of everyday life. He has a knack for framing images that mirror the way we look at things naturally without looking mundane. His work is arresting without resorting bizarre processing or quirky cropping."

    "Robert's work is invaluable to learning about Pittsburgh and its neighborhoods. Much of it is a window to the industrial 20th century that simply doesn't exists anymore. I'm always enthralled when he posts a new scan of one of his shots."

    "For those who have a passion for history, America's past, and the look back into time on Pittsburgh's reign on the world with steel. Mr. Dorsett's stream is the one for you.

    His work is excellent! His views on Pittsburgh's past are mind blowing."

    "America may never again see the resurgence of our glorious industrial past that once existed in SW Pennsylvania. But thanks to Bob, much of it is documented, and even the remnants that he captures are fascinating to see. Thanks for sharing these things with those of us who were never fortunate enough to experience it first hand."
