  1. #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.

  2. 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.

  3. This one has *everything* – waterfalls, fires, diamond stick pins, trans-oceanic gambling! A landmark hotel opened by an African-American caterer! And, to my great surprise, the discovery of what I believe are remnants of the last version of this long-lost resort. Today I'm telling the story of The Cataract House at Cohoes Falls.

  4. There is just very little that's better than a winter hike. Back in our old home stomping grounds for a weekend. #hike #hiking #winter #UpstateNY #TroyNY #PeeblesIsland #Cohoes #CohoesNY #trail #trails
