Lebanon on Folkstone Drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While many consider January the \u201cdead of winter,\u201d Dicello\u2019s work is coming to life. He doesn\u2019t see snow, wind and ice as deterrents; rather, he sees them as a challenge, offering a new lens through which to capture his art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He freezes moments in time \u2014 reflections in the river and sunrises over the city of Pittsburgh \u2014 often before most people begin their day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn the winter, I don\u2019t like to stop. Photography is just like working out. It\u2019s like a muscle. I don\u2019t want to get rusty. I go out every day,\u201d Dicello said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His alarm goes off every day at 4:07 a.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI couldn\u2019t go out early in the morning if Dana (my wife) wasn\u2019t there with the kids,\u201d Dicello said. \u201cThat\u2019s never lost on me. I can only do what I do because of them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dicello\u2019s dedication to closely monitoring the weather is paying off. His recent image of a train passing under the Duquesne Incline, with the backdrop blanketed in white, is gaining traction, having garnered more than 18,000 likes on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ve waited a decade for that picture,\u201d Dicello said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dicello oozes passion for all things Pittsburgh. Born and raised in Bethel Park, he said his father sparked his interest in photography by taking him to Penn State football games as a child, where he would photograph the atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking of atmosphere, living in a place with a small-town feel was a longtime dream for Dicello. Mt. Lebanon provided just that for him and his wife, Dana. The couple moved to Mt. Lebanon in 2012, where Dicello revels in the community\u2019s walkability and small-town feel along Beverly and Washington roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He works full time as a financial analyst for Thermo Fisher Scientific and, in recent years, has become more involved in coaching his children\u2019s soccer teams. He beams with pride when talking about his son, Declan, 11, and daughter, Delaney, 7, noting that his own father coached him in baseball until he was about 16 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When he\u2019s not coaching, he\u2019s capturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His images of Pittsburgh cityscapes, lightning strikes, sunrises and fireworks have garnered significant attention, including more than 170,000 Facebook followers and 153,000 on Instagram. Still, he is equally passionate about photographing Mt. Lebanon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He can often be found perched atop the Washington Road parking garage, camera in hand, offering a sweeping view of nearby businesses \u2014 including his favorite spot, The Saloon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKeith, the owner, bought a 6-foot print, and it\u2019s hanging in the corner of The Saloon,\u201d Dicello said. \u201cEvery time I go in there, it drives my kids crazy because I\u2019m like, \u2018We\u2019ve got to go over and see the picture.\u2019 I just love that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While he appreciates people buying his work, Dicello said it\u2019s the stories he hears about people enjoying his images \u2014 and the sense of nostalgia they evoke \u2014 that matter most to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat means more to me than anything else,\u201d Dicello said. \u201cThat always resonates with me and never gets old.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the weeks leading up to Christmas, Dicello could be found hand-delivering his 2026 Anniversary Pittsburgh Calendar to friends and neighbors who purchased it online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey\u2019re not just going to Mt. Lebanon. They\u2019re going to Germany and California, Alaska and everywhere,\u201d Dicello said. \u201cBut to be able to drop them off to my neighbors, whether they know who I am or not, is definitely cool.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The calendar features some of his favorite images from the past 13 years. He sold 3,000 calendars this year alone \u2014 an exponential increase from years past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking ahead, Dicello said one bucket-list photo shoot would involve a helicopter ride over Mt. Lebanon to capture aerial views of its neighborhoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI would love to go over Washington Road, Main Entrance, Cedarhurst, Virginia Manor,\u201d Dicello said. \u201cJust capture those, because the neighborhoods are what really make Pittsburgh and Mt. Lebanon so special to me.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
