LensFlare 35 is a photography podcast brought to you by Dave Warner. This week, Dave interviews Adirondack photographer Gary Larsen. Gary was born in Connecticut and after college began traveling throughout the United States. He now lives in the Adirondack Mountains of Upstate New York and photographs Maine, Vermont, Canada, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Colorado and many other western states. He has been deeply interested in photography for over 30 years.
In this episode, Gary talks about the most unique aspect of the Adirondack Region, favorite spots to shoot within the park, what photographers are missing by not shooting here, the most unique thing he has photographed in the Adirondacks, infrared photography and a lot more. We created a multi-media show of his images with an explanation of each one with the full podcast interview (above) and our typical show player and download, which is below.
Show Sponsors: ExpoImaging, Inc., onOne Software. Also, podcast network commercials from Rosh Sillars New Media Photographer, Jim Goldstein EXIF and beyond and Martin Bailey Photography.

Well, I think it was the idiot who posted the show
I’ve fixed it now.
Unless I'm doing something obviously wrong here, there isn't a download option for this podcast.

Many asked for directions to the Potholers Falls, so here they are from Gary:
Here are the “directions” we used to find the Potholers Falls the first time (locally known as Bray House Falls). They are from a book called “Adirondack Waterfall Guide” by Russell Dunn. I should mention that the distance on Piseco Rd. is approximate (re-created from what we judged on our first trip) because the distance printed in the Guide was not accurate. We made a few passes back and forth on Powley-Piseco Rd. before finding the right spot to park. These directions would be if approaching the area from the southeast:
From Rt. 30 in Gloversville, take Rt. 29A west past Peck Lake, Caroga Lake, Canada Lake, Pine Lake and Pleasant Lake until you reach the village of Stratford. Turn right onto Mike Smith Road (if you see Dugway Road, you've gone too far). After 0.1 mile, turn right onto Piseco Road and drive north for (about) 7.6 miles to the area of the falls. For most of the drive, the road is paved, but the last section is unpaved after you cross a bridge over East Canada Creek. You will reach a sign that states that the road ahead is open seasonally from May to December. Continue past this sign and you will cross a small bridge (or culvert) that spans the terminus of Bray House Brook. Park to the right along the road. There are paths on the right leading into woods toward a campsite. The falls are a just beyond on East Canada Creek. You will want to walk upstream to see the best area of the falls.
Sorry for the sketchy nature of the distance, but our first trip working from the book was quite a bit of back and forth on Powley-Piseco Rd. until we found the right spot. Since then, we've gone by visual clues. Driving slowing north from the bridge across East Canada Creek (on the unpaved section) while looking for the stream crossing and a widened area on the right shoulder to park looking into the woods for the signs of a campsite area should get you there. The falls are quite different at low flow (when the potholes are visible) than at high flow.
