Congrats to @caseyseiler.bsky.social and the entire paper for capturing the most #UpstateAmerica thing ever

Sean Kirst: A partnership, lost and found, with Upstate photography legend Sean Kirst and Mike Greenlar dreamed of working together again. Now, they are.

Mike Greenlar one of great news photographers in #UpstateAmerica history. We were colleagues until decade ago. We doubted we’d ever work together again. Used to daydream about it, when we crossed paths. All of a sudden … my column for @Central_Current - centralcurrent.org/sean-kirst-a...

From Sean Kirst, to Upstate readers: Grateful for 'utter beauty' of this column-writing chance Sean Kirst has returned to Central New York to write columns for Central Current. Read his note to Upstate readers.

A note of gratitude, here's-what's-coming to readers throughout #UpstateAmerica, as I begin one more start in journalism at no-paywall #CentralCurrent ... almost certainly the last stop in a career in newspapers (and now in the what's-next) that began 51 years ago: centralcurrent.org/from-sean-ki...

It's more a state of mind. #UpstateAmerica cc @seankirst.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/deet...

It's #UpstateAmerica always, baby

Doesn’t matter if it’s winnable, it is a proving ground. Small old industrial/working class cities, few college towns, military base, some of the wealthiest suburbs in #UpstateAmerica and super rural. You figure it out here.

so much #upstateamerica representation in the women’s 1500m semis! you love to see it!
