Vacant stores ~ in the Adirondack PARK - Keeseville, NY • click to embiggenA few days ago, while bouncing around the blog-o-sphere, I landed on this site/page from a link on some other site (it's all a bit of a blur). As it turned out, it was a blog I had visited sometime in the distant past and had recognized a number local-to-me scenes. Despite the best of intentions, I never bookmarked it and consequently never visited it again.
In any event, I have meaning for the past 5 years or so to get over to Keeseville picture some of storefronts on Main St. So I'd like to thank Carl Weese for the ever-so-gentle kick in ass that has started me down that picturing road.

Mark, you live in a fascinating area. I've been up there several times in recent years. My initial intention was to work "in the woods" with big cameras to make negatives for platinum printing [as here---http://www.carlweese.com/northcountry/index.html] but found myself drawn away to do color digital capture in the towns and the active farms north of the park itself. Now, on my visit last last week, a vast area north of the park has been radically transformed by the massive wind farm installation.
It was interesting that just a few doors up from those vacant storefronts we both shot recently, there's a pizza joint that's not only alive and well, but offers free WiFi. I was able to upload a blog post while eating my pasta.
Mark,
Nice colors, but what's the trick you used to vanish....
Kind regards
