Click on the links below for each photobook to be able to see each book at Shutterfly.com in full, with no obligation to make a purchase. Once there, click on the book cover, and then “Full Screen” for the best view.

If you would like a copy, contact the author David Giacalone (with a Comment or email: David@giacalonephotos.com), to get a copy at my cost, rather than Shutterfly’s higher price.

VALENTINE FLAMINGOS IN THE SCHENECTADY STOCKADE – whimsy and mystery at Lawrence Circle — (5th Edition, 2025, 28 pages covering 2009 through 2024; six dozen images in color; 8″x8″, softcover)

JAMMING ON THE MOHAWK – ice floes & jams along the Mohawk River near the Schenectady NY Stockade — (6th Edition, 2025, over 70 photos in color, 22 pages, 8″ x 8″, softcover)

. . . Our Original Photobooks Posting describing 5 photobooks. . .

  In the Spring of 2014, I started assembling photobooks featuring images of various aspects of the Stockade and life along the Mohawk River.  Below are descriptions of each with links to the Shutterfly website, where you can “preview” a book in its entirety (with no obligation to purchase it), using the Share links below.

My goal is to have you enjoy the Stockade images (and stories), not to sell books.  However, if you would like a printed version of one of the 8×8-inch books, in hard or soft cover, please contact me directly (rather than paying Shutterfly’s regular prices).  I will provide the books at my cost to have them printed (using available discounts and coupons).

Don’t miss my special “photo-haiga” book “Haiga on the Mohawk“, which has 37 photos with related haiku poems.

I will add preview links on this page for any additional photobooks that I compile, so please come back occasionally to check for new compilations or new editions.

Added September 4, 2014, updated August 2016, with name changed from “A Stockade September: 2011”, to “After Irene, A Stockade September“.

Click this link for a page-by-page preview of “After Irene, A Stockade September“: the many moods of September 2011 in the Schenectady NY Stockade“, a 32-page photobook that chronicles a particularly interesting month in the Stockade. September 2011 started with clean-up after flooding caused by the Tropical Storm phase of Hurricane Irene, followed by more flooding due to heavy rains from Tropical Storm Lee, which did not prevent the traditional Outdoor Art Show two days later; the second half of the month brought a dreamy foggy morning, and a non-traditional Walkabout day that ended in a gorgeous sunset.

Click the following link for a preview of “Grave Beauty: Cemeteries in the Schenectady Stockade” (2d Ed., 2015), which features the cemeteries of St. George’s Episcopal Church and 1st Presbyterian Church, which grace our Stockade neighborhood.
