What’s Up in the Neighborhood, August 6 2022

This morning is “drop-off day” for the New York State Fair’s photography competition, so I’m writing this blog post early in the morning so that I can hit the road to Syracuse with my six entries. On Sunday, I’ll post the images I didn’t choose to enter this year; on Monday I’ll post the six that I selected for 2022. Hopefully I made the right choices.
