Finger Lakes

There's a house on my block that's abandoned and cold
The folks moved out of it a long time ago
And they took all their things and they never came back
It looks like it's haunted with the windows all cracked
Everyone calls it the house
The house where nobody lives
— Tom Waits

About the Finger Lakes series

I spent four years at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, at the top of Lake Seneca, and enjoyed many fabulous days exploring the Finger Lakes Region. The Finger Lakes can be harsh in the winter but come spring its beauty is hard to resist. These photos were captured on film - 1980, when I was revisiting the region.

Over the next few years I’m planning several trips to the region and will continue what I started.
