Thanks Jmanc. Going to Utica, Syracuse etc next week to photograph some of the last churches of the rust belt I haven't gotten. I'm sure you know of some spots in Utica to get bomb pizza.

Great photos! Thanks for documenting these buildings.

Finally got up to central upstate NY this weekend, was just in Rochester, which is a total hell hole and got this photo of one of the most awesome churches I've seen, just north of downtown; St. Michaels Catholic Church. Going all the way through the Finger Lakes to take photos of all the small 1830's-40's Greek Revival Churches, some of the earliest Mormon stuff and then over to Sleepy Hollow to take photos of the oldest Dutch colonial 17th century church in the Hudson River Valley.

Beautiful pictures. I wish I knew where each pic was taken though. I also agree about not caring about religion myself, but loving the architecture and history of the buildings. I think the same thing can be said about municipal architecture as well-so many fine old courthouses and other beautiful and historic municipal buildings gone or rotting away-and not just in the area you are targeting here. Such a shame.

So, I finally made it to Upstate NY last week and recently got back. Got photos of most of the churches I wanted to; heres what I mapped out to take photos of; and the following photos are what I will include in my book.

I assumed you got my PM? Get any good pizza in Utica?

I drove through Utica briefly, didnt really photograph any of the churches as the one in Rome was the prettiest out of all the ones in that area. I did have some bomb pizza though in Utica and some not so bomb sushi, actually some of the worst sushi Ive ever had, in Rome. I also stayed at one of the most disgusting motels ever in Rome, was clearly a motel used for prostitution and drug sales, The Red Carpet Inn. Rome was a horrifyingly depressing place; nearly on par but for different depressing reasons as most of the towns Ive photographed in southern WV. Out of all the towns and cities I visited, I liked Syracuse the best. I've been to Buffalo many times, its pretty cool, but out of all three bigger Upstate cities; Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse; Id have to say that Syracuse had the nicest downtown with the most intact historic architecture and nicest places to eat. Rochesters downtown is a massive dump that was clearly mostly destroyed in the 60s and 70's; although Rochester did have some nice hoods on the southeastern side of downtown that seemed pretty upscale and nice. |
Rome is a pit. Lost Griffiss AFB in mid 90's a slew of other industries before and after. At least you saw Armory Sq in Syracuse. Great architecture there and the area has so much potential.
|
Syracuse has a lot of great preserved architecture, and there is potential. Though I found the downtown to be pretty disjointed with a lot of surface lots and overall general vagrancy.
