NYS Folklore Society!

Next, NYS Folklore Societys  Director, Dr. McHale has equested using some of my photos in an upcoming Schenectady Historical Society exhibit she is creating, also  featuring the story of Hurricane Irene. I offered my services when Doctor McHale and Nancy Soloman inrterviewed survivors of Hurricane  Irene at the Mabee Farms Histoprical Society Franchere Center last year.

The one lady that came, and was interviewed, and that I will never forget, is Rita. From start to finish she was there rescuing people, alerting people to the dangers of the flood waters, and then basing herself at the Rotterdam Junction Firehouse, never seeming to go home for months at a time. She gave her time and her heart during this epic storm and subsequent rebuild.  Rita was everybodys hero.

Museums and Historical Societys want me!

Well, not me really, but my photography work! 

Long Island Traditions Society, a non profit on Long Island, and curator Nancy Soloman, have created a  new museum exhibit called "In Harms Way," focusing on how we can better survive super storms we are all experiencing. Director Nancy Soloman contacted me a while ago to purchase a photo of a Victorian  mansion in Prattsville damaged by Hurricane Irene, that I shot. I am honored for that request. Nancy said the photo looked great!   The huge house is actually tipped by the raging flood waters. It had just been painted those luscious "painted lady " colors those Virctorians are famous for.  A lot of work for which the owner was surely heart-broken over. The exhibit will be in the Long Island Museum. Opening was October 6, 2017 - December 2017.
