Are You The Cameraman?: Gary Walts Photos: Visit to artist / sculptor Will Salisbury, Omar, NY

About this blog title

I cannot tell you how many times I have shown up at events with a couple of cameras around my neck, a gadget bag full of odds & ends and a lighting kit and have been asked that question. If it happened once every few years, that would be one thing. But it happens a LOT. It's like getting pulled over by the police and he's standing there with uniform, gun, flashing lights and asking him "Are you a cop?" I would love to come back with a witty reply, such as "No, I am Jesus. Don't you recognize my beard?" However, I cannot be that rude.

Gary Walts Photos: Visit to artist / sculptor Will Salisbury, Omar, NY

Here are some photos I snapped during a visit to artist Will Salisbury's home and shop in Omar, NY. I spent about 3 hours with him this past Friday, January 7, 2022. He has several projects going on and has a couple of people working for him. Will has some ongoing health issues that have been a challenge. Instead of slowing or stopping him he manages to soldier on and get things done.
