Other Projects by Richard Margolis

  • Israel Public Art:
    A searchable catalog of public art in Israel intended to be a resource that will call attention to an important cultural resource: The art, monuments, sculpture, and memorials in Israel. You may enjoy browsing, for entertainment, or using it as a research tool.
  • Rochester Public Art:
    A searchable database of public art in and around Rochester, New York. It includes descriptions of the artwork and information about the artists, as well as photographs.
  • Rochester Landmarks:
    I like Rochester and put together this project to celebrate Rochester’s many landmarks and attractions. I’ve been photographing Rochester’s Landmarks of all kinds for a long time. My installation at the airport, done ten years ago, is also titled Rochester Landmarks and was intended to provide visitors with a sense of the place.
  • Rochester's Big Trees:
    I discovered that Rochester has a significant number of state champion trees and that the Landmark Society provided a list of Rochester’s Famous and Historic Trees. Like Edward Steichen who repeatedly photographed the Shad-Blow tree outside his window and struggled to create a photograph that matched his image of it, I have attempted to make photographs that capture the spirit of Rochester's big trees.
  • The Bridge Project:
    A website I built to help preserve Rochester's historic Hojack Swing Bridge which faces demolition if the U.S. Coast Guard succeeds in exercising its power to compel removal of the bridge from the navigable waters of the Genesee River.
  • 1000 Island Landmarks:
    For the past couple of years I have been privileged to be a summer visitor to the 1000 Islands, NY, exploring the river, mostly by boat, collecting damaged propellers along the way. I've heard that there is an impressive "Propeller Garden" somewhere, but have not found it yet. What I have found are subjects for both photographs and stories—fascinating things that have historic connections that prompt wonder and perspective including relics of the past or new castles, local treasures, big trees and small churches, international bridges and floating restaurants.
