  Episode #8

  David Sokosh

  Sep 4, 20261h 7mS2

  David Sokosh is a Claverackian artist, a photographer who works in older photographic chemistries such as tintype, wet collodion, anc cyanotype. If you don't know what those are, don't sweat it - you'll get the picture (see what I did there?). I ran across his work in a book he called "Things that look like the moon (but are not the moon). He's exhibited in many places, but if you're a local you might have seen his work in the Carrie Haddad gallery on Warren St in Hudson. We had a lot of fun, not least because I know a little about photographic chemistries and techniques and we sort of nerded out on that subject for a bit. David has a fascinating new project under way that will be part of the Olana celebrations this year of Frederick Church's 200th birthday. This is a fun one, and a little long, but I hope you like David as much as I did.

  Brenda Shufelt

  Jul 2, 202645 minS2

  Brenda Shufelt was born and raised in Claverack, but left home at a fairly young age for education and career with no particular intention to return. Older, looking toward retirement, and married she found that Columbia County and Claverack were calling her back. There aren't many places like this, are there? We talk about her background and how the things she experienced away from here gave her the self-confidence and drive to not only come home but to find ways to contribute to the town and county's future. Brenda has been an educator, a mentor, a candidate for local government, and runs - with a team - the history room at the Hudson Library. Lots of interesting local knowledge here - I hope you enjoy the conversation.

  <p>Sarah Katan and her family are transplants, but in the years since they arrived Sarah has become deply embedded in our community.  As an educator Sarah creates programs that connect kids (and adults) to the outdoors, to the history of the area, and - recently - to themselves. Sarah teaches personal storytelling and hosts storytelling events at the Ancram Center for the Arts, and even tells her own stories there. I admit this is a performance art that fascinates me, and I wanted to learn more about it and about Sarah. We found out we have a lot in c...

  Vince Pomilio

  Feb 9, 202644 minS2

  <p>Vince Pomilio is an artist who was part of the vanguard of NYC-based artists who began moving to the Hudson area in the 1970s.   He has a flawless memory for names and events, and tells stories from 1978 to the present about the fascinating characters who have been in and out of the area's transition from sleepy backwater to "destination".  I pretty much turned the mics on and let Vince go.  This one is a little longer than some other shows, but worth it if you're interested in origin stories!</p>
