September 12, 2025Tuesday, September 9 - Saturday, September 27
Reception: Friday, September 12 | 5-7 PM
Gallery Hours: Tues - Fri, 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM | Sat, 12:00 - 4:00 PM | additional hours by appointment
My work is digital photography, both black & white and color. I photograph plants, animals, and landscapes. Some of the landscapes I photograph include the built environment.
I began taking photos with my parent’s polaroid in the 1970’s and then got a Minolta film camera during high school. Once digital cameras appeared on the scene in the 1990’s, I switched from film and never looked back.
Plants are my lifelong passion and the focus of my education, life’s work, teaching, and art, but I am also fascinated by birds, insects, mammals, and fungi.
Photography is my other passion and each day, weather permitting I try to spend a few hours taking pictures.

Have you ever wondered why the English spelling of words is sometimes… well… just weird? Come on a surprisingly hilarious journey with us and author Gabe Henry through the history of the English language, while we discuss troublemakers like Mark Twain who broke all the rules.
Anyone who has the misfortune to write in English will, every now and then, struggle with its spelling. In our erratic system, choir and liar rhyme, daughter and laughter don’t, and somehow you and ewe can’t agree on a single letter. So why do we still use it? If our spelling is so inconsistent, why haven’t we tried to fix it?
In the comic annals of linguistic history, legions of rebel wordsmiths have died on the hill of spelling reform, risking their reputations to simplify English spelling. This book is about them: Mark Twain, Eliza Burnz, Noah Webster, Upton Sinclair, Emma Dearborn, Theodore Roosevelt, Benjamin Franklin, and the countless other “simplified spellers” who, for a time in their lives, became fanatic about writing kof instead of cough, tung for tongue, and fyzics for physics (and tried futilely to get everyone around them to do it too).
In Enough is Enuf, Gabe Henry humorously traces the “simplified spelling movement” from medieval England to Revolutionary America, from the birth of standup comedy to contemporary pop music, and explores its lasting influence in words like color (without a U), plow (without -ugh), and the iconic ’90s ballad “Nothing Compares 2 U.” Finally, Henry brings us to the digital age, where the swift pace of online exchanges now pushes us all 2ward simplification.
Register now for this informative and entertaining conversation to find out why Gabe Henry thinks UR not a bad speller, the English language is.
Registration is required and a high speed internet connection is recommended. Register for this author talk and check out other online author talks here: https://libraryc.org/crandalllibrary Programs will be recorded and available to view at a later date.
September 17, 2025The American Legion Post 961, in conjunction with the Capital District of NY Chapter of the Association of the United States Army (AUSA), will be conducting a 50th Vietnam War Commemoration ceremony at the Bolton Landing Conservation Center. The Center is located at 56 Edgecomb Pond Road, Bolton Landing, NY 12814. Doors open at 6 pm, check in no later than 6:50 pm.
The event will recognize and honor the service of Vietnam War era veterans who served in the military during the period of November 1, 1955, through May 15, 1975, and have time on active duty even if only for training. All branches of the service - Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard qualify. The event is free and open to the public, but veterans who register will receive a Vietnam War era lapel pin. Everyone attending must register. The lapel pin is issued by the United States Department of Defense as part of its 50th Anniversary Vietnam War Commemoration, a multi-year program to thank and honor Vietnam veterans and their families for their service and sacrifice. This "lasting memento of the Nation's thanks" is now proudly worn by more than 2 million previously unheralded patriots. This year is the last year the commemorations will be held, so it is very important to plan to attend. A Surviving Spouse pin will also be issued to the spouse of a deceased veteran who served on active duty in the United States Armed Forces at any time during the period noted above regardless of location.
Veterans and Surviving Spouses may register for the event by contacting CSM(R) Bob Van Pelt at 518-210-2868 or email at bvpcsm@aol.com. Registration must be completed no later than September 12, 2025. Please provide your name, dates of service, and name of spouse/family/guest(s) you will bring. Each individual Vietnam War era veteran will be recognized and presented with the lapel pin and have an opportunity to say a few words. Refreshments will be served. Prior pin awardees are welcome to attend and make remarks.
