Genesee (beer) Brewery ~ Rochester, NY • click to embiggen;)
Genesee River ~ Rochester, NY • click to embiggenOn Sunday past, the day after all of the Alumni / Athletic Hall of Fame events in Rochester, the wife and I were roaming around the city on a (for her) sightseeing tour of sorts. During the tour, I made a picture of the Genesee Brewery as it sits above of the Genesee River.
That picture was made from the bridge which can be seen in the Genesee River picture (the brewery is to the left of the bridge in that picture). The Genesee River picture was made circa 1980-81 with my 8×10 view camera using long-exposure color negative film. I made that picture during one of longest, hottest, and most humid spells of summer weather - hence the dense atmospheric conditions - I have ever experienced.
In any event, the coincidence of which I speak write is the fact that, a few days after making the Genesee (beer) Brewery picture, I received a request, totally out of the blue, for use of the Genesee River picture in a new magazine being published in Rochester. The publisher/editor, with whom I have no connection, must have been trolling the internet / flickr and came upon this picture.
Funny how, at times, that all works out.

I think that the Gennesee River picture is the first one of yours I ever saw or possibly another with a junkyard in the lower right. But I was struck by the urban landscape with junk and have been following you ever since.
