New York Wanderings

I recently went on a trip to the area around St. Johnsville, New York. Nice area. Lots of Amish. Lots of photos.

This was my favorite photo. Oh, early 80's. How I miss you and your absurd video game systems.

I'm not a big fan of B&W, but this called for it.

Like a lot of old mill towns, Little Falls has its fair share of decay.




The antique stores there had tons of creepy, old, and hilariously racist dolls.

Ok. Straight from a horror movie.

Lovingly racist.

Holy crap-level racist.

Not racist, just creepy as hell.


Fun fact: the lock in Little Falls is the tallest on the Erie Canal.

This gargantuan bicycle chain is what they use to open the locks.





A lot of old bridges in these parts.

A Fall Tree

This photo was taken with a Panasonic GF1 with and the Panasonic 45-200mm lens. It's a great lens as far as resolving ability, but has big problems with contrast. You have to stop down to F8 or smaller to really get good contrast across the frame. The lens is so good, though, that the limitations of the sensor are all the more glaring. Again, it's such a tough situation to be in. I love the lenses, but hate the sensors. With APS-C, I love the sensors, hate the lenses.
