Adirondack Museum, New York has a special offering - Lake Placid, taking place on August 11, 2009, at 7:30 p.m. at Lake Placid Center for the Arts.
In a career that spanned the settling of the Adirondacks, the heyday of the guide, the steamship, and the grand hotel, pioneer photographer Seneca Ray Stoddard produced over 8,000 images of an evolving landscape — the largest documentary record of late nineteenth century life in the region.
More than a century later Adirondack photographer Mark Bowie literally followed in Stoddard’s footsteps, faithfully re-photographing the exact locations of many of his classic images. Bowie compares the Adirondacks of today with Stoddard's.
The comparisons are fascinating, sometimes surprising, in every case, illuminating. -- www.adkmuseum.org
