Front Porches of Fairport-Museum

On March 16, Perinton photographer Keith Boas will present an illustrated program featuring more than 100 classic front porches, stoops and verandas in the village of Fairport. The program, which includes historical photos and an array of colorful, modern-day images, will be held at 7:30 pm at the Fairport Museum, 18 Perrin Street. The event is sponsored by the Perinton Historical Society and is free to the public.

Boas took all the photos for the 2010 Front Porches of Fairport Calendar, recently published by the Fairport Village Partnership. His upcoming program, while based on the calendar, goes beyond house porches to cover other pictorial, porch-related subjects, such as local canal docks and the facades of several Fairport community buildings.

Boas is a retired Kodak marketing professional and holds a BFA degree in Photographic Illustration from Rochester Institute of Technology. He is the co-photographer/author of the books More Joy of Photography, Waterfalls of the Adirondacks & Catskills, The Guide to 35mm Photography and Fairport & Perinton: Then & Now.
