Thank you Ken. Excellent article that explained perfectly the goal of the current exhibit at the Chapman Museum- not only to showcase the amazing Stoddard collection but you have explained the creation & development of photography as a medium thanks to diligence of two local brilliant photographers Stoddard & Wooley! It’s an exhibit that needs to b seen multiple times. Thank goodness the exhibit will be here until Jan.7, 2024!
I attended this exhibit on Saturday and agree it is outstanding. My grandparents built a house in Sabbath Day Point which is on the Lake below the lookout. I remember my mother's stories of how challenging their trip from NYC via train to Lake George and then the car ride over the mountain. They would get multiple flat tires and getting there was quite a challenge. These photos were a wonderful reminders of a simpler (and not so simple) time in our history and I highly recommend people see this exhibit. I was also reminded of how important the Chapman is to our area.
