True to Her Roots

Syracuse lost one of its best known photographers last week.

Marjory Wilkins, who passed away at age 81, used her camera to richly document people, places, and events in our city.  One of my favorite of her photos is of former Syracuse Police officer Willie Gilbert.

Mrs. Wilkins is pictured here at a show that celebrated her work a few years ago.

We will certainly miss her activism, insight and talents.
