Photography exhibit at the Old Forge Library

“Making the Rounds,”a photography exhibit by Dr. Daniel Way of Glens Falls, will be on view at the Old Forge Library during the month of July.
Way, an Adirondack physician specializing in family practice, is also a professional photographer.
The exhibit is a combination of photographs of his patients in their home settings as well as Adirondack landscapes.
“I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity as a physician to photograph some of my patients and publish illustrated profiles of them,” he said. “I find this a challenging alternative to my primary ‘specialty’ of Adirondack landscape photography.”
His book, “All in a Day’s Work, Scenes and Stories from an Adirondack Medical Practice,” contains portraits and stories of more than forty of his patients, such as old timer Boyd Smith, an Adirondack Woodsman from Bakers Mills, Jim Ordway, the Button Man of North Creek, and Verna Knickerbocker, who lives in a farmhouse near Crane Mountain. The book, published by Syracuse University Press in 2004, won the Adirondack Center for Writing’s Adirondack Literary Award for Best Book of Photography in 2005.
Way became interested in photography at the age of 11 and began photographing the Adirondacks as a teenager while spending summers with an aunt and uncle. His great-great uncle, Seneca Ray Stoddard, photographed the Adirondacks when it was just opening up to travelers and sportsmen, more than a century ago.
Way’s exhibit will be on display from July 2 to 29. There will be a reception in his honor at the library from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, July 29. The reception will be followed by his program, “The Country Doctor: Then and Now.”
