Photographing 90th Birthdays Never Gets Old

No really, photographing 90th birthdays never gets old!

By Jonathan Ment It has been said “Good things come in threes.” When it comes to booking photography sessions, I’d add or twos or fours or ‘mores’ … Recently I photographed a pair of 90th Birthday celebrations, first at a rental house in Prattsville, NY and soon after another at a resort in Round Top near Cairo, NY. These added to the 90th birthdays I’d captured a few months earlier. Perhaps…

I always forget how beautiful it is just a couple hours north of #nyc :-)

Me at the cabin this weekend desperately trying to find internet and realizing I was going to be cut off from the real world for 3 whole days (Eventually got over it, but the void in my heart never stopped existing)

Need a Photographer for a Mountaintop Wedding ?

Need a Photographer for a Mountaintop Wedding ?

Have a Mountaintop wedding in mind? I have lived year-round in the Hunter Mountain area for years and try to never take its majesty for granted. Whether driving to a job, a gig or the grocery store I have always paused for mental a moment to take in the scenic beauty of this place. It is no wonder so many choose the mountaintop for their outdoor weddings. It’s incredible here. From the blue…

Zadock Pratt’s tannery, the largest of several in the Catskills, consumed almost 500,000 hemlock trees during its two decades of operation. Workers chopped down trees and removed the bark, which was the source of tannins used in the production of leather. Pratt closed the business in 1845, having virtually exhausted the local supply of hemlocks.

These images are part of the story of ecological change chronicled in our new exhibition Hudson Rising, on view through August 4, 2019.

SUMMER IN THE CATSKILLS NY 2017

[route22ny]

Handcolored picture postcard of Main Street in Prattsville, New York, circa 1905.  The town is named after Zadock Pratt (1790-1871), a prominent local who established the largest tannery in the world at the time.  The town was established to provide housing for the necessary labor force.  Pratt later went into politics and was a congressman.

Before entering the town from the east along NY Route 23, Pratt Rock is a unique park and picnic on a hillside opposite Schoharie Creek, worth the time it takes to wander around in.  It commemorates Pratt with a bevy of bas-relief stone carvings and a historical display.  While I can’t corroborate it online, Pratt was instrumental in getting the White House rebuilt after it was burned in the War of 1812.  This unsubstantiated tidbit was (as I recall) on the historical display at Pratt Rock.
