CHARLIE DILL

LOCATION: Along fence of  St. George’s Church park. Across from the Tavern on Main, 

Charlie fell in love with photography 40 plus years ago. First shooting with black and white then color and now on to digital. He is always looking for those special shots and moments to grab that perfect picture. He believe’s there is that magic photo just about anyplace if you just stop to take a look. Too many people are in such a hurry for that quick instant gratifiction that they don’t see beauty in front of them.

Charlie likes to describe his photography as seeing what others miss. From that little bug sitting on a flower petal. To the majestic bald eagle looking for its next meal, or the way the light shines just right on an old wall and how the fog hovers over a gentle stream.

Charlie has been displayed internationally in Spain, Greece, Vietnam, India and Mexico. Plus in various magazines and galleries including Shutterbug, Photo Weekly, Catskill Mountain Region, Neversink River Co-op.

DR. FREDERICK COOK

LOCATION: Inside the Jeff Bake Shop, 4906 NY-52.

Dr. Frederick A. Cook was an American explorer, scientist, physician, author and photographer, born in Hortonville, New York in 1865.

As an explorer Cook is best known for his 1908 discovery of the North Pole, his life saving work on the Belgian Antarctic Expedition (1897-1899) and his 1906 ascent of Alaska’s Mount Denali.

Between 1897 and 1909 Dr. Cook took over 2200 photographs of Greenland, Antarctica, the North Pole, South America and Alaska. Many of the originals are housed at the Byrd Polar Center at the Ohio State University.

In 1938, Ted Leitzell wrote an article for Adventure Magazine, boldly stating that “amongst fellow explorers Cook was widely considered one of the greatest adventurers the world has ever known.”
