The 2019 Cats of Catskill, New York – Part 4

by hankinslawrenceimages | Aug 6, 2019 | New York

For the past 13 years, the Heart of Catskill Association in Catskill, New York has organized a public art project Cat’N Around Catskill for cat lovers everywhere! Each year, artists decorate cat sculptures and they are placed on Main Street and a few other locations in town. I first saw the Cats in 2017 when I was photographing in the area. Last month, I spent some time in the Hudson River Valley, so of course I had to check out this year’s cats.

This year, there are 52 cats on display. I had a wonderful time photographing the 48 that I found. I’ll be sharing photos of some of them all this week in a series of blog posts.

And so here they are – the 2019 Cats of Catskill

A Visit to Mount Hope Cemetery in Rochester

by hankinslawrenceimages | Apr 10, 2019 | Cemeteries, New York

Last month while I was in Rochester, NY for a workshop, I spent a wonderful morning photographing at Mount Hope Cemetery. Founded in 1838, Mount Hope is a beautiful garden/rural cemetery full of wonderful statuary and stone carving. I thought I’d share some of my photos from Mount Hope Cemetery with you today.

I’d love to spend more time photographing at Mount Hope Cemetery. My guess is in spring, summer or fall, the foliage will give the cemetery a completely different look. And hopefully, if there isn’t snow on the ground, I’ll be able to photograph Frederick Douglas’s grave!
