Oneida County Public Market–Zach's Weekly Snaps [PHOTOS]

Zach Effrog — Sun, 24 Jun 2012 13:30:27 +0000

Last year at this time, I visited the Oneida County Public Market for the first time. Since it has expanded, I have not visited. Saturday was a nice day and I needed produce, so I decided to visit the public market once again. And, I'm glad I did. It has everything for every taste. There's, of course, fruits and vegetable and there's jewelry, bread, honey, cheese, meat, crafts and even fresh-squeezed lemonade. The Oneida County Public Market is open Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Utica's Union Station. Today, I would like to share with you my photos from my trip to the public market. This week's theme--The Oneida County Public Market.

Zach Effrog — Sun, 10 Jun 2012 21:26:37 +0000

It was another fun and exciting Wild West Frogfest and Rodeo for the history books. Not only did the weather hold off, minus the occasional sprinkle, the bands were amazing, the fans were great and Josh Thompson and Easton Corbin were amazing. I’ve said it over and over, Big Frog 104 fans are the best! They re

Utica's Rutger Park Revisited—Zach's Weekly Snaps [PHOTOS]

Zach Effrog — Sun, 03 Jun 2012 13:00:36 +0000

Two weeks ago, I took you on a photographic tour of Rutger Home number 3 in Utica’s historic Rutger Park. Yesterday, June 2, the Landmarks Society of Greater Utica held its annual "Picnic in the Park," where those who at

A few days ago, I told you about the fast-approaching deadline for the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute's annual Sidewalk Art Show. And, I have made the decision to enter the art contest. I have dabbled in photography for about a year, and I feel I'

Utica's Historic Rutger Park–Zach's Weekly Snaps [PHOTOS]

Zach Effrog — Sun, 20 May 2012 15:00:11 +0000

I recently had the opportunity to visit Rutger Park on Rutger Street in Utica and tour Rutger Home number 3. History definitely come alive when you walk through the doors of the nearly 200 year old home. Staged to look like how it did when it was occupied, the beautiful architecture is still a sight [...]

More Signs of Peace–Zach's Weekly Snaps [PHOTOS]

Zach Effrog — Sun, 06 May 2012 14:25:37 +0000

One of my favorite things to do is drive around or walk around and take pictures of what I see. Lately, when I go out, I see many signs of peace. Whether it's the word “peace” spelled out or a peace sign, I see them all over. Last year, I brought you an edition of [...]

At the Market–Zach's Weekly Snaps [PHOTOS]

Zach Effrog — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 14:15:18 +0000

I absolutely love open-air markets and farmers markets. These places have every fruit and vegetable imaginable and the prices are very reasonable. There is a huge market in Rochester, NY I like to go to when I visit family. The Rochester market has the usual stuff you would find at a market, like fruit, vegetables, [...]

Cemetery–Zach's Weekly Snaps [PHOTOS]

Zach Effrog — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 22:25:14 +0000

Some people find cemeteries to be a scary place. Me? I find them to be far from scary, but rather a place filled with art. There's beautiful statues, wonderful carvings and many, many more visuals to look at. Yes, people are buried there, but if you can get past that and look at a cemetery [...]

Animals–Zach's Weekly Snaps [PHOTOS]

Zach Effrog — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 22:45:30 +0000

If you've ever tried to take a cute picture of your dog or your cat, you know it can be a challenge. Not only do they move around a lot, by the time you get the camera, they've moved on to doing other things and are no longer in that cute pose. In my collection [...]

Around the House–Zach's Weekly Snaps [PHOTOS]

Zach Effrog — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 15:00:09 +0000

Sometimes, you look around the house and you see things that look picture worthy. So, that's what I did. I looked around the house and found things that looked photogenic. With the picture above, I have a bit of an obsession with round glasses. And, no, let me repeat, no, they are not because of [...]

The Radio Station–Zach's Weekly Snaps [PHOTOS]

Zach Effrog — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 15:00:04 +0000

I know that before I started to work at Big Frog 104, I was curious as to what the radio station looked like. You have an idea of what you think it looks like, but not a definite vision. It's like when you hear somebody on the radio--you have a vision in your mind of what that person looks like, but nothing definite. So, today, I'll give you a quick tour of the radio station. The photos are mainly of the equipment we use at the station. I would like to share with you those snaps. This week's theme--The Radio Station.

Country Roads–Zach's Weekly Snaps [PHOTOS]

Zach Effrog — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 15:00:36 +0000

After a little bit of a hiatus from Zach's Weekly Snaps, I'm back with another installment. One of my favorite things to do is to grab my camera, hop in my car and drive–let the road take me wherever. It's always interesting to see what you'll find while you're driving on country roads in particular. [...]

Signs Of Peace–Zach's Weekly Snaps

Zach Effrog — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 05:00:04 +0000

I'm a man of peace. So, when I see something peace related, I get excited. And, it seems in recent years, the whole peace movement has come back full-circle. When you go to the store, you see shirts with peace signs on them, you see backpacks with peace signs, I even see baby clothes with peace signs on them. Don'

Downtown Utica–Zach's Weekly Snaps [Photos]

Zach Effrog — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 05:00:30 +0000

Utica: kind people, historic and beautiful. Those are a few of the things that I think of when I think of the city. And, what I set out to do was to find and capture the beauty that Utica has to offer that people don't normally pay attention to on a daily basis. Now, I [...]

Places Revisited–Zach's Weekly Snaps [Photos]

Zach Effrog — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 05:00:58 +0000

Has there ever been a place you remember going to as a child and then revisiting as an adult? How did you feel? Well, for me, the place I revisited was a place I went a few times as a child–my grandfather's barn. When I was younger, I was a bit scared of the barn. [...]

Apple Picking – Zach's Weekly Snaps [PHOTOS]

Zach Effrog — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 04:05:21 +0000

Saturday was an amazingly beautiful day. The temperatures were great and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. So, what better to do on a day like that than go apple picking? And, that's what we did. Lately, any trip we take, whether it be down the street or in another state, my camera is [...]
