  • Purging the House and Sharing a Memory

    April 22, 2016

    I took a few days off work this week. After reading two mysteries and cleaning the house I decided it was time to continue the daunting task of purging. This has meant pulling boxes of photos and memorabilia out of closets and crawl spaces and being as ruthless as possible. The tour books, postcards and duplicate photos- scraps of paper and receipts- none of these are the keepers of the memories for me- those still exist in my mind (at least for awhile longer).

    I would like to share a photo from 1961. Yours truly is about 3 years old and seated between Otto and Ernestine, keepers of “The State House” a home that sat at the intersection of a dirt road and the headwaters of North Lake, Atwell, NY. Otto and Ernestine raised their sons there and managed the maintenance of the Black River and dam system fed by the lake.

    My family and I spent decades building summer memories at North Lake. In this instance, it only took one photo to open a window on so many other images…

  • New York (Frame) of Mind

    August 15, 2015

    I was looking through some jpgs of a visit to NYC in 2013 and came across some shots that I initially overlooked. Thought I would share a few. They are snaps from the MoMA ‘Rain’ exhibit, walks around Soho, Manhattan, Washington Square, Bryant Park…
