“To change a community, you have to change the soil.” – Ron Finley

I’d like to thank the students I had the chance to meet and work with at Westside Academy at Blodgett this year. We took a journey and learned from each other. After the first day I thought a lot about the Tony Danza Book,  I’d Like to Apologize to Every Teacher I Ever Had.

We did photo walks, technical research, contests and model shoots, and their skill levels continued to rise to the challenge. But soon I noticed that the children were teaching me as much about creativity and expression as I taught them about photography. Visiting the Westside neighborhood daily was an eye-opening experience. The assignment helped me become a better photographer and a better person.

Also, a special shout-out to Ms. Darby (the program director), Mr. Hicks (the principal), and Syracuse City School District alum Adrian Sicam (the multi-talented artist who allowed SIF to use his music for this piece).

First English Lutheran Church-Altar

First English Lutheran Church-Altar

As part of the New York Landmark Conservancy’s Sacred Sites Open House on Saturday we were able to visit the First English Lutheran Church.  We were given a historical overview by the Hon. Karen Uplinger and heard their M.P. Moeller organ, which was played by Lee Johnston. The massive sandstone structure, located at James and Townsend Streets, was designed by Archimedes Russell, and also features prominent stained glass work by Henry Keck.
