Photography by Catherine Seidenberg, Aaron Hobson, Barry Goldstein, and Stephen Langdon
NEXTDOOR features four local photographers whose relationship to the North Country deeply informs their work. They are scientists, gardeners, visual artists, musicians, and photographers. Their images reveal unexpected worlds hidden within familiar surroundings.
The Artists
Catherine Seidenberg, Aaron Hobson, Barry Goldstein, and Stephen Langdon
Catherine Seidenberg is a Westport-based photographer, gardener and visual artist who blends her passion for exploring the natural world with her delight in capturing its beauty and magic. Her work has been featured recently on NPR with Brian Mann, and she photographs extensively for her social media position for the towns of Westport and Wadhams.
Aaron Hobson was raised in Pittsburgh, PA, then retreated to the mountains at age 21. I took some photos and traveled the world drinking free wine and eating free cheese while others looked at my photos in fancy box shaped galleries. Featured in magazines on every continent except for the cold one down below due to the lack of magazines of the non-scientific variety. Stopped all that nonsense and started taking photos for fun, climbing boulders, coaching hockey and playing music.
Barry Goldstein is a documentary photographer living in Lewis, NY. He has worked in Iraq and Afghanistan, covered multiple election cycles, and is the author of Gray Land: Soldiers on War (W.W. Norton, 2009). His latest series features residents in the North Country.
Stephen Langdon is Director of the Single Shanty Preserve and Research Station and has 25 years of experience in the Adirondacks working on conservation organizations. He is involved in research efforts surrounding impacts of human-caused global environmental change on biodiversity within the boreal-temperate ecotone with a particular focus on peatlands.
This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts.
