He began wandering at night with camera and tripod through neighborhoods adjacent to downtown Rochester. Using lon g-time exposures\, he photographed the streets and people that he encounte red.\n\nAfter moving downstate\, Staffeld continued to photograph — most ly during the day — with the same approach\, working in Hudson River tow ns. In 1977\, Staffeld returned to Rochester and once again began photogra phing at night\, this time around the more vibrant commercial strip of Mon roe Avenue. These images document what was once a rich and dense urban lan dscape that was becoming post-industrial.\n\nBy the late 1970s\, Upstate N ew York's fire had been all but extinguished. At night\, and even during d aylight\, only the shadows of former things and beings remained. It was a spirit world that would reveal itself in the moment Staffeld unwound the d ripping wet film from the reel. The excitement of seeing what he had been given to ponder on film — like jewels that come alive only when light is cast upon them — still persists as his creative incentive\, illuminatin g moments when he picks up a camera.\n\nOriginally from western New York\, Staffeld has lived in Ithaca and worked at Cornell's College of Architect ure\, Art\, and Planning since June 1984. He studied photography at RIT an d the State University of New York. Staffeld previously worked at Apeiron Photographic Workshops where he was mentored by several renowned photograp hers\, including Lisette Model\, Charles Harbutt\, and Ralph Gibson.
