Adirondack chairs in the snow at Frink Park, Clayton NY
It has been a long Winter here in northern New York. I snapped the photo presented here back on December 20, 2017. The Adirondack chairs are at Frink Park in Clayton, NY, a village on the St. Lawrence River. I took the photo with a Sony a6000 camera and a Minolta 200mm f2.8 lens. I used the Sony LA-EA4 adapter to mount the lens on the camera.
Now it is spring and our region is experiencing some of the worst April weather that I can recall.

Winter Photo: Weeds in Snow
This Winter photo was snapped in Pulaski NY a couple of weeks ago. I parked my car in a bank parking lot and spotted these weeds standing in the snow. The background is a cement wall of a building. The photo was made with a Nikon D7000 with a 70-200mm Nikon f2.8 lens. The lens creates a shallow depth of field that throws the background so far out of focus it is not recognizable.
So far February has been typical for northern New York. It was 3 below zero here in Chaumont this morning. Today I had the pleasure of photographing Tom Dotterer at his liquor store on North Salina St in Syracuse. He is 77 years old and a well known baseball coach for many years at Christian Brothers Academy. About a week ago he was shot in the eye during a robbery of his store. The gun was a pellet gun of some sort so the wound was not life threatening. In fact, he was back to work at the store the next day. Sadly though, some days later his eye had to be surgically removed. The photos I made today will be published this Sunday. Tom Dotterer is a great man. He talked much about philosophy and his love of books and poetry. I was most impressed. I actually met him a couple of years ago when I photographed him for the sports section of the Post-Standard while he was coaching a baseball game. There was no time to get to know him then. It's funny how things work out. If I had not stayed on with the Post or had not been offered a position with our new company, Syracuse Media Group, I would not have had today's experience.
