A Look At Life At Sylvester Manor During The 19th Century Opens 2018 Exhibitions

Olivia Rutiglianoby Olivia Rutigliano

A Place in Pictures, Sylvester Manor’s first exhibition of the season, will celebrate the former residents of the Shelter Island-based Manor with photographs and paintings from the Sylvester Manor Educational Farm Collection.

The exhibition will illustrate the use of images to portray the life at the Manor during the time of the Horsford family in the 19th century when Alice and Andrew Fiske occupied the property. Professor Eben N. Horsford, fascinated with the invention of photography, opened the first Daguerreotype studio in Albany in 1841. He and his family sat for a number of portraits, utilizing many, many new methods of the medium. But it was Sylvester Manor that the family used photographs the most to portray their lives and the Manor itself.

“This is the second year we having an in-house exhibition from the collection housed in the Manor house. As a life long photographer and professionally as a photo editor and photo historian, the discoveries I have made at Sylvester Manor have delighted me,” Donnamarie Barnes of Sylvester Manor shared. “From the basement to the attic, I’ve found photographs that range from Daguerreotypes to Polaroids.”

Throughout the years, several images of the Manor, its house, gardens, grounds, and the multitude of people who passed through portrayed the historic memories of the estate. The tradition was continued by the Professor’s youngest daughter, Cornelia, also a photographer. She employed photographers to come to the Manor and use new techniques, such as the Panoramic camera and color photography, to capture the beauty of the estate. During the 20th century, Alice Fiske, captured her beloved gardens and her husband, Andrew, took pictures from atop the water tower and showed the inner workings of the farm.

“Every family since the invention of the medium have kept family albums but what makes this collection from the Sylvester descendants so special is the range of the various techniques including early color processes and panoramic images found in the collection and the continuous subject matter of the place that visually tells the story of it’s history,” Barnes added.

A Place in Pictures will be on view at the Sylvester Manor house for the entire 2018 season and will open with a cocktail reception on Friday, June 1, from 5 to 7 p.m.

Tickets to the cocktail reception are $65 online and $75 at the door.

Public guided house tours, private guided tours and self guided tours are all available.

Sylvester Manor is located at 80 North Ferry Road on Shelter Island. For more information, visit www.sylvestermanor.org or call 631-749-0626.

Philanthropist Zita Cobb To Speak In Sag Harbor About The Revitalization Of Fogo Island

  • Dust off your favorite witch’s hat and opt for a paddleboard instead of a broom for Paddle Diva & Wych’s Bloom’s inaugural Witches Paddle on Wednesday, October 29, from 4–6 p.m. at Paddle Diva (10 Boat Yard Rd., East Hampton, NY). A portion of the proceeds will go to the Surfrider Foundation’s Eastern Long Island Chapter and its efforts to protect the world’s oceans, waves, and beaches through dedicated activism. ⁠
⁠
We’ve all seen Witches Paddles grace our social media feeds, and now you can partake in the spooky fun! This tradition combines Halloween vibes with the healing power of nature as you glide and take in the beautiful Three Mile Harbor views.⁠
⁠
Gina Bradley excitedly shared, “I am thrilled to be hosting this at Paddle Diva’s permanent location inside Swan’s Marina (formerly Vanderveer’s). This kind of paddle has been on my mind for many years, as I’ve seen them in all parts of the world, and it looks so cool seeing all the witches gracefully gliding along the water. This is particularly exciting because we’ve joined forces with Wych’s Bloom, a local herbal apothecary brand, and Surfrider to raise money and awareness for ocean and clean bay initiatives that are crucial for our waters on the East End of Long Island.”⁠
⁠
“As an herbalist, Samhain, or Halloween, offers a special occasion for me to celebrate the healers who came before us to teach the wisdom of the plants in our region. I had seen people gathering for Witches Paddles all over the country, and as a surfer, I connected instantly with these events. When I texted Gina the idea, she was immediately in. That’s what I love about the women on the East End—they’re always up for an adventure,” shared Wych’s Bloom owner and Surfrider Foundation board member Christina Winters.⁠
⁠
Join us in taking part in this one-of-a-kind event! Craft a witch’s outfit and set sail at the inaugural Witches Paddle for a great cause.⁠

  • From Hollywood red carpets to Milan exhibits and Hamptons fashion shoots, Filbert Kung has photographed the world—but it’s his quiet, unguarded, and attentive nature that reveals the artist behind the lens.⁠ @filbert_kung 
⁠
I met Filbert Diego Kung at a Grey/Ven fashion event in Amagansett last summer. He’s one of those rare photographers who instantly puts you at ease—calm, composed, and naturally good at making anyone feel like they belong in front of his lens. Had I known then just how in-demand Filbert is in the fashion and photography world, I probably wouldn’t have asked him to snap a few shots of me goofing off on the red carpet. But maybe that makes me a model? Either way, it was my first glimpse of how effortlessly he captures people as they are. In my case, goofy-but-make-it-chic.⁠
⁠
Since then, I’ve seen him popping up around the Hamptons, often between flights to LA, Miami, or wherever the next big editorial or campaign takes him. Originally from the Philippines, Filbert has spent over fifteen years building a career that bridges Hollywood red carpets, high-fashion editorials, and fine art portraiture. ⁠
