Alex at the incinerator, Anatomy and CC... February was model shooting month it seems

With February now over it’s a good time to make sure I get some of the stuff from Feb that I missed up.  It turned out to be a busy month in many ways, not just with taking photos, so I’ve fallen a bit behind here.  I shot with three new models and have been chased around by other models from shoots-gone-by asking to do more shoots. [...]

The biggest local Flickr get together ever was yesterday's subway walk

Yesterday was the day many were waiting for.  Those who had never been to the subway or who at least had never walked its length appeared in some pretty impressive numbers for this get together and we walked from the western entrance to the eastern end by Dinosaur BBQ.  This mile long tunnel really isn’t that long and you can get through it pretty quickly, sadly for me it seems to feel like it’s shorter every time I go. [...]

Newark State School

Rounding out the weekend of exploring, we visited the Newark State School, an abandoned collection of buildings which served people with disabilities.  Some of the buildings on the campus have been re-purposed and are being used but many remain abandoned and continue to decay. [...]

Rochester Incinerator

Andrew and I had been planning to spend the weekend checking out different locations and doing some photography & exploring.  On the 23rd we kicked off the weekend by stopping by several locations in Rochester.  We started with what is known as the War Store but it seemed to be falling apart rapidly.  Parts of the second floor, which I’m told was the most interesting part, had fallen down to the first floor.  Apparently the second floor had been questionable for quite some time and the collapse was probably recent.  We looked around for a few minutes but I didn’t take any photos.  We didn’t even take much time to look through the concrete silos next door before continuing back to the car. [...]

Exploring Mt. Hope Chapel and Genesee Brewery

Sunday the 10th of January was the first local explorers get-together of the year, or at least the first one I made it to.  Most of the crowd consisted of people I hadn’t met before including a couple from Syracuse and one visitor from Buffalo.  I had brought my friend Dan and Andrew was supposed to be there but he hurt his back shoveling snow and falling down stairs. [...]

International Boiler Works

On January 2nd Bruce, Kristin and I went to International Boiler Works in East Stroudsburg, PA to do some exploring since it was conveniently located along the way back to Rochester for me and was only about an hour from their home.
The entire factory is pretty bombed out and we could find no paperwork or any other sort of historically significant indicator to tell us when it was abandoned while we were there. [...]

It's cold, lets go somewhere with no heat! Agway, Flintkote and the subway.

This past weekend college friends Bruce and Kristin came to visit and do some exploring.  The abandoned subway was on their to-do list along with Sykes Datatronics, beyond that they hope to be able to see some other locations as well.  I came up with a few other ideas with Andrew’s help for Saturday since we planned to hit those first two on Friday. [...]

I want to go back to New Mexico

Back in the winter of 2006 I visited my friend-from-preschool Dan in Pittsburgh, saw the sights and then flew out to New Mexico with him. Dan and I were going to visit his sister, Charlotte, in Santa Fe for about a week. The trip was originally going to be a visit from just Dan but with the help of their parents the plan was hatched for me to join and surprise Charlotte. Mission accomplished! [...]

Workshop #3: street corners

This workshop was quite a bit different. A lot of people didn’t show up for it (tsk tsk!) and it was a bit more loosely structured than previous workshops.
Instead of being told to capture something to fit an assignment we were basically just given a street corner and told to go forth. We chose our corners by marking them on the maps so of course I chose a corner that I thought would be interesting. Then we were asked to hand our maps to the person to our right. Ahh! [...]

November leftovers

Daron in is tux t-shirt, ready for the ceremony.

No, not turkey, stuffing and gallons of gravy. I figured I’d post a few odds and ends that I never did get around to sharing earlier in the month. This is all just fun stuff that I have lumped in to one gallery.
To start, I included a few photos from Dan & Amanda’s wedding at The Old Toad which all seem to feature my friend Daron, the wedding officiant. [...]
