Fred Coffey contributed many of the images that are seen on this website. Fred is originally from Binghamton, NY.  His passion for photography began in high school while he was working on the yearbook.  Earlier in his career he worked as a corporate photographer for a major manufacturer for several years, and has also held positions as photography judge and photo lecturer. Fred has been in the Capital district for about 10 years and belongs to several Facebook photo sharing groups, and is the administrator of one of the pages. While photography is no longer Fred's primary occupation, he continues photography as a creative outlet and form of relaxation.

Recently, the City of Albany participated in an exercise with graphic design students at the College of Saint Rose to establish a new brand for the City. Gabriela Gordon was one of the participating students and her design was chosen to represent the City of Albany.
