I guess that "We Are Going Back"? Shocked but not entirely surprised.

Let's see how many times they can Make America Great Again. Hug someone today, tomorrow, anytime really.

Two angles of the same sign. Two views of the same spot, just some steps away, can look so different. This is across from the Erie Canal lock in Lockport, NY.

Glorious afternoon light kissing “my” Olana tree for two minutes, two days ago. Always good to return to that same spot, notice what changed and what didn’t, feel the wind and chat with passers by.

Spent a rainy but beautiful afternoon on an Erie Canal cruise yesterday, last one for the year before the Canal closes for boat traffic!

During my Erie Canal artist residency I mostly explore, investigate and rephotograph locations above the water line, so it was great to be inside the canal and experience the lock in action. Highly recommended and I plan on taking more trips as such next year.

What is #rephotography?

For this week’s #WhatIsItWednesday, we’re looking at “rephotography”. he subject of 2024 Erie Canal Artist-in-Residence Alon Koppel’s Deeper Dive this Saturday, rephotography aims to show us a view of “then and now” and help us visualize how much some places have changed over time. With respect to the views of the Erie Canal and its surroundings, the project aims to reflect on the magnitude of human change on the landscape.

Join us this weekend for Alon’s talk this Saturday, Oct. 5 at 1 PM by signing up through the link in our bio.

A secret location in Albany. It seems like these days I can’t stay away from flowing water and/or train tracks (not shown here but nearby, believe me).

Join me this Saturday in person or online to see some recent work I made while in @eriecanalmuseum_syracuse artist residency. Link in bio!

Artist talk next Saturday! Join me in person (or on Zoom) on October 5th at 1pm at the Erie Canal Museum in Syracuse. Link in my bio.

As part of our 2024 Deeper Dive Lecture Series, photographer Alon Koppel will present work he has created so far as part of his Erie Canal Artist-in-Residence in 2024.

Alon will introduce participants to the concept of rephotography (or repeat photography), in which an artist strives to make a photograph of a certain location again, based as accurately as possible on existing historical photographs or postcards, mostly found through the archives of the Erie Canal Museum.

The two images, historical and contemporary, are then displayed as a diptych next to each other or overlaid on top of one another, sometimes showing how much the landscape has changed and other times becoming a surprising new image all together.

Rephotography aims to show us a view of “then and now” and help us visualize how much some places have changed over time. With respect to the views of the Erie Canal and its surroundings, the project aims to reflect on the magnitude of human change on the landscape.

Alon will share some completed photographs, show some images that are still in progress, and will discuss his photographic technique and the equipment that helps him achieve those results.

Photo shown: The canal in Canastota, then and now.
