Q. Have you finished photographing at Thacher Park?
A. Yes. Besides, in the past year, I’ve developed a lame leg, making it difficult to negotiate rough terrain, let alone the steep iron ladders descending beneath the cliffs to the Indian Ladder Trail. I was able to manage in the past year because my friend, Dieter Gehring, helped me haul down my big cameras and cases.
Q. The inevitable question: What next?
A. I really don’t know.
“Indian Ladder, A Lyric Journey: Photographs by John Yang” continues through December 30 at the Albany Institute of History and Art, 125 Washington Avenue, Albany. The artist will be available at a reception on Wednesday, October 3, from 5:30 to 7:30pm. (518) 463-4478; www.albanyinstitute.org.
