  1. Here's another #OldPhoto I took in 1977, one of the earliest photographs I ever took. Love the tone, the composition, the feel of a relaxing moment just reading the newspaper in a public place, waiting for the day to begin. This is in #SyracuseUniversity's I.M. Pei-designed #NewhouseSchool.

  2. Photographically, this is terrible, but it's an absolute moment in time, and that moment was 1982/83. It's me (in the center) with my roommate (left) and my other roommate and eventual wife (right). We were kinda adorable, even in the midst of an amount of misery. Absolutely kicking myself that when we got together for our 40th anniversary a couple of years ago, we didn't recreate this photo.

  3. Of all the things from my past, the technology that I just cannot believe has completely disappeared is #ColdType pre-press technology – phototypesetting, pasteup, working on light tables to produce mechanicals for anything that had to be printed. These methods are just gone (while letterpress lives on). I made my living at #pasteup for several years. This is from a #journalism institute at #SyracuseUniversity in 1978. #photography #OldPhotographs #Syracuse #OffsetPrinting #FilmPhotography

  4. #SyracuseUniversity's Hendricks Chapel on a winter night in 1978. I always had a love of low light shots, even though I wouldn't say I was successful at making them very artful. This one, though, definitely evokes the loneliness of crossing the campus on a winter evening. Short handheld with Tri-X 400. There's dust on the negative but I'm not fixing these in post.

  5. 1978: college students locking up their bicycles to a tree on the #SyracuseUniversity campus, while others are locked up to a chain fence surrounding this little area. My 10-speed was stolen within the first weeks of freshman year, so I was probably jealous of their mobility. This isn't a great photograph, and yet it captures so much – the bikes, the cars, the clothes.

  6. A night shot in the eternal snow of a #Syracuse winter, 1978. A taxicab pulling up to a freshman dorm at #SyracuseUniversity at Christmas break. Always a weird lonely feeling as the campus emptied out (I was often one of the last to leave).
    Looking at this, I remember thinking taxis to the bus station (or airport) were definitely for other students. It was a long walk but the taxi ride would have cost a good part of the price of my bus ticket home. #photography #OldPhotographs #BWPhoto

  7. From 1977: three high school girls attending a summer #journalism institute at #SyracuseUniversity –Mary, Kathy, Karen. That I remember their names is remarkable; I find other names in my diaries that I can't begin to put a face to. This view from the patio of the I.M. Pei-designed #NewhouseSchool no longer exists – a third Newhouse building was built there.

    Rare color for me; Ektachrome, IIRC.

  8. Jon Bosak's images from his college days keep setting me in a nostalgic mood.

    What hits me most are some of the details that reveal once-ubiquitous items that are now almost entirely gone from the world, like wax paper cups.

    So I was leafing through my old photos and here's one of the first that jumped out at me: a Coke-branded waxed paper cup.

    I'm sure I thought this was artistic in 1978.

  11. #RepairEconomy Reinvigorated in Central #NewYork, #Syracuse Institute Leads the Charge

    May 30, 2025

    SYRACUSE, NEW YORK — "Broken lamps, torn clothes, a coffee machine that just won’t work — items like these are common in most households, and all too commonly wind up in the trash bin. Thanks to cheap replacements and a struggling repair economy, #consumerism —and waste — is at an all-time high. In the wake of #tariffs, #ClimateChange, and rapidly shrinking NYS #landfill capacity, a rising repair movement in Central New York is pushing back against the status quo.

    "The Repair Cafe held on Saturday, May 10 embodies a social movement shaped by residents, #activists, and community leaders who want to reduce waste through building strong community networks. The event was facilitated by #RepairCafeCNY, an organization established by the Institute for Sustainability Engagement (#ISE) as an offshoot of the global #RepairCafe network. The group aims to reinvigorate repair in Syracuse and the greater CNY region by serving as a central coordinator for free community repair events in the area.

    "Repair Cafes are not a new concept to the area. The last known effort locally was that of the Syracuse Repair Cafe, which was operational for a few years before the pandemic halted operations. With repair energy now reinvigorated, organizers hope for the Syracuse Repair Cafe’s soon return."

  12. GUIDE: How to Start a #ToolLibrary

    #SyracuseUniversity - Institute for #Sustainability Engagement
    October 29, 2025

    "#Libraries can offer a lot more than just books. Whether it’s a #SewingKit or a step ladder, tool libraries can provide #SustainableSolutions for communities to complete their personal projects in a way that promotes #reuse, discourages needless #consumerism, and saves people money.

    "The Institute for Sustainability Engagement (#ISE) has prepared a printable 10-step guide to help anyone get started implementing a tool library in their community. This guide stems from ISE’s role in helping develop a tool lending library in #KeesevilleNY..."

  16. Visiting the spaces I lived in four decades ago brought back a raft of memories and feelings. In this entry, I tried to capture the feeling of the 2-1/2 years I spent working on a college institution, #SyracuseUniversity's Daily Orange.

  17. We went back to the place where we met, nearly 46 years ago. It had been a decade since we'd been in #Syracuse, and it was very interesting to wander around some of the same spaces that were such a huge part of our lives, such a very long time ago. Started to write about it here:

  18. Wanted to share an incredible piece of #publicArt that shaped my life – Ben Shahn's "The Passion of Sacco and Vanzetti". This remarkable #mosaic is on an outer wall of H.B. Crouse Hall at #SyracuseUniversity in #SyracuseNY. Sacco and Vanzetti were executed for murder on the flimsiest of evidence in 1927. I walked past this reminder of injustice every day for years.

  19. @DemocracyMattersALot #GeorgetownUniversity, #SyracuseUniversity, #StJohnFisherUniversity, #LoyolaUniversity Maryland and #TheCitadel honor #RudyGiuliani who was a key leader of the #January6th #FailedCoupAttempt. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    He also condemned hundreds of people (in the 2nd #WTC to fall) to a horrible death on #September11th when he ordered them to “Remain at your desks!” AFTER the 1st tower was struck, and we KNEW that other planes were hijacked.

    ⬆️ This is so-called ‘America’s Mayor’?🤔

  29. Hello world! I am a #seismology Postdoc at #BrownUniversity and soon-to-be Assistant Prof at #SyracuseUniversity. I'm interested in how continents break apart to form new oceans and how today's ocean basins continue to evolve.

    I use ground vibrations to image Earth's #crust and upper #mantle. Specifically, I measure anisotropy and attenuation of seismic waves to understand deformation and roles of melt/volatiles in Earth's interior.
