Catskill-based fine arts photographer Art Murphy loves invertebrate fossils. So much so, they have become something of an all-consuming passion. A passion that's resulted in an event most photographers can only dream about: a solo exhibition this September at the Museum of Natural History in Florence, Italy, which he likens to "the Sistine Chapel of fossils." Engaging, witty and articulate, Art takes us on a journey that begins more than 350 million years ago. Also channeling her passions: Nina Sklanksy, a Catskill resident who's launched a website, marketing campaign and attracted a team of like-minded souls all intent on promoting the village of Catskill.
