This is from a large album of photographs* that was put together by an employee (or multiple employees) of Empire Gas & Electric in the Finger Lakes region of New York; whether this archive of photos was officially sanctioned or undertaken unofficially, I don’t know.
Most photos are from roughly 1916 to 1925 or so, with a handful from the 1930s, and document the men and women (mostly men, entirely white) who worked for the company as it built the infrastructure that would light and heat the homes and businesses of Auburn, Geneva, Palmyra, Seneca Falls, and many other communities** in that part of the state.
I am so grateful to my friend Rikki in New York for this album and for the kindness and generosity she has shown in both sustaining and feeding my interest in old photos and ephemera.
* Pictures of the entire assembled album are flic.kr/p/2p4H87P and flic.kr/p/2p4KGYg.
** From the Wayne County Journal of Palmyra, New York, September 13, 1923:
The Empire Gas and Electric Company was formed in 1911, merged into itself the Central New York Gas and Electric Company in 1916, and on November 1, 1920, the Company purchased the by-product plant of the Empire Coke Company.
The Empire Gas and Electric Company does the entire electric light, power and gas business of Auburn, New York. It also supplies without competition electricity to Geneva, Cayuga, Seneca Falls, Newark, Waterloo, Phelps, Palmyra, Clifton Springs, Lyons, Clyde, Weedsport and other places; and supplies without competition gas to Geneva, Cayuga, Seneca Falls, Newark, Waterloo, Phelps, Palmyra and Lyons.
With the exception of the season of the steam heating business, the Company's electrical requirements is supplied entirely by electricity generated hydro-electrically.
The estimated population served is 130,000.

Who is Put on a Pedestal?
2024 Mixed Media (stencil, silkscreen, and collage) on canvas
"The Who Is Put On A Pedestal? canvas reimagines a piece from the permanent collection of the Petit Palais, Camille Alaphilippe's 1908 sculpture "Woman with Monkey." My ''Who Is Put On A Pedestal?" painting captures a similar pose and contemplative expression as the "Woman with Monkey" but changes the subject from a white woman to a black woman. I incorporated a decorative pattern on the subject's dress reminiscent of the dress in "Woman with Monkey," but with a blooming flower breaking chains. In showing at the Petit Palais, I see an opportunity to examine how many formal qualities of art have remained similar over 100 years. However, though equality and representation have evolved significantly, true equality remains elusive. I hope my painting is soothing and serene but also provocative with its news clippings about racial bias. I recognize that I have had many opportunities as a white male artist that might not be as attainable to a non-white, non-male artist. The art world has made progress In the wake of George Floyd's murder and the protests for racial justice, but I still think it is important to keep pushing people to confront racial bias and act consciously to change things." -- Wall label
I didn't need to have an IV done this morning, thank goodness. (See the story of my visit to the doctor here.) The bite now is as itchy as hell, and is healing as well as one would expect. More later--now I need sleep. Thanks to those who sent me good thoughts!
I woke up from a sunday morning nap and went to the kitchen for a drink and heard frantic chirping in the garage.
So, in boxers and all, I went out to the garage to see what was causing the ruckus because it wasn't a normal bird call that we hear in the garage.
I looked around and found nothing, but could hear it screaching from the front of the garage, so I went to see if it was behind the trash barrels, and thought maybe it was in the can when I couldn't find it.
Sure enough, this little Cardinal Flew into my garage and fell to the bottom of the trash, under a bag and a box. it was frantically trying to fly back out. I reached in, grabbed it up and of course, had to come in the house to show Cathy before returning it to it's frantic parents which were coincidentally trying to fight me off as the baby got louder and more verbal.
While inside, I grabbed a point and shoot to get a couple decent shots quickly as to not stress it out much more than it was.
SO, I took it back outside, took a handful of photos and put my hand near the ground and the shrubs and the bird must have realized at that point that I wasn't going to hurt it and calmed down.
I opened my hand, it called a few times to the parents, the parents returned with their calls and it just sat in my open hand for a minute or two before the parents came closer through the shrubs calling it to come to them.
Finally, the poor little baby cardinal was reunited with it's very loving parents!
I'm not sure how long it was trapped. but our ordeal only lasted less than 5 minutes.
It could have been much worse for this little creature as tomorrow is trash day.
Thankfully I heard it screaming when I went for a drink.
