The Shadowman . . .
From my posts you can tell that photography is a hobby and Greater Utica, a favorite subject . . .
If you have these interests too, then you will enjoy (and perhaps be inspired by) The Shadowman (actually a group of 5 photographers) — “Photography of Utica, NY and Beyond.” They have perfected the art of night photography. Familiar locales take on an almost magical quality. Take a look at the recent “On Genny” post and you will see what I mean.
Utica History . . .
A big Welcome to “Historical Utica, NY,” a new blog about . . . Utica History. In the first post, Utica-Post says:
“Like when you lose your keys, I believe, you must retrace your steps in order to find them. Well that’s what I hope to come from this blog. I plan to retrace Utica’s history with the hopes that those with the power to do so, will find their way again.”
A nice thought. Here’s another . . .
The future is built on the past, and “short cuts” seldom last.
It was many years out of school before I realized how important history was. Why waste time “learning by doing” when you can learn from what someone else has already done?
Utica-Post also promises that a new independent newspaper will be coming soon.
Good luck to these new ventures.
