Newburgh NY Icon Kaplan bag works water Historic iconic sunlight canvas print metal print

As Alec Halstead, a seasoned military veteran with a keen eye for beauty, I've learned to navigate life's challenges with grace and resilience. In June of 2014, while sailing up the Hudson River, my trusty boat faltered, leaving me stranded. Yet, I clung to my camera, capturing the journey's trials and tribulations. Despite the setback, I submitted my photographs to Hudson Valley Magazine, hoping to share the beauty I'd witnessed.

A month later, the editor's call brought exhilaration—my images would grace the pages of the April 2015 edition, showcasing the towns lining the Hudson. With my boat still incapacitated, my cousin's generosity saved the day, granting me the vessel needed for my expedition.

From Highland to New York City, and up to Albany, each town revealed its unique charm. As I sailed, camera in hand, the tranquility of the river merged with the towns' allure, reinvigorating my spirit. When the magazine hit the stands, my pride swelled—seven of my photos featured prominently.

Yet, amidst the accolades, a tinge of disappointment lingered. The shot of Kaplan Bag Works in Newburgh, a gem on the national historical registry, the only building in the country with the main entrance on the top floor, remained absent. Neither did any of my other Newburgh captures grace the pages. Nevertheless, in the unfurling tapestry of life, I found solace in the journey and the moments immortalized through my lens. .
