Happy Spring! It's been a while since I've shared any updates with you! Professional Update: I accepted & signed a job offer to work at Capital Region Independent Media (NYVT Media). My first day of work was April 21. In March, I was accepted into the volunteer docent program at the Albany Institute of History and Art in Albany, NY. I went through two docent trainings at the museum. In late-April, the publishing component of Mirth Films ended, so my writings and photo contributions have stopped with the outlet for now, unless it's for a Mirth-sponsored event or an event they put on. Personal News: I made my third Catholic sacrament, confirmation, at The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Albany, NY, Sunday, April 27. Sunday, May 18,2025, my cat, Molly, passed away. She was 12 years old. Thank you to everyone for reading my latest news post. To keep up on what I'm up to, you can tune into ALM Fine Art & Photography and Around Town With Amy Modesti on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and SubStack. Thank you so much! Have a fun and safe Memorial Day weekend! -Amy (5/24/2025)

#TBT: Sunday, March 19, a moving funeral service was held for my friend and Albany blues musician, Charlie Smith. Smith died March 8 from complications of diabetes. He was super talented on the guitar and always had a lot of feel & emotion into what he performed on stage. I got to know Charlie on and off through my early adulthood & he was always kind to me in the scene. I’m thankful to have heard Charlie play the blues in the Capital Region & Bennington, V.T. and call him a friend. He impacted many musicians’ lives & is missed. Thank you again to my friends, Rob Aronstein & Mike Lawrence for sharing your stories about Charlie to me & asking to help spread the word about Charlie’s Memorial & benefit event. Read all about the legacy of Charlie Smith in this week’s “TheSpot518” now. Thank you Charlie for your friendship and musicianship! (Story and photos by Amy L.

#OnThisDate: Sunday, March 27,2022, my first stop of the morning was to Grafton Lakes State Park to attend “Maple Syrup Day”. I met with an acquaintance of mine who was reporting on this event for News10ABC. The majority of the event was held inside the welcome center. Guests could sample maple rice crispy treats, learn about the boiling of maple syrup, eat a maple donut and ice cream, & find out how the syrup is tapped from the tree. This was the first of two events I attended that day as in the afternoon I was at the Wynantskill American Legion attending the “Louie Louie” marathon. And how was my day a year later?! Busy-tending to production business at work & watched the season finale of The Bachelor. Happy Spring!! (📸: Photos by Amy L.

#OnThisDate: Happy #InternationalWomensDay & #WaybackWednesday!! Last year (3/8/2022), I spent my time in the City of Troy,NY watching “Warden And Company” perform their “Music at Noon” Concert Series at Troy Music Hall & attended the State of the County Address for Rensselaer County at the county building. At that time, I covered that event for my previous job. The event honored the achievements of Veteran Len Roden, recognized two Grafton residents for saving a Mother & Baby at Grafton Lakes State Park, among other county residents. Today on International Women’s Day (3/8/2023), I worked from home, took part in my Zoom piano lesson, & took a ride to the mechanic to drop off Dad’s truck for its inspection. Thank you to all my female friends & family members for your love, guidance, & support Year-round!! Happy National Women’s Day!! (📸 All Photos by Amy L.

#OnThisDate: Aren’t I glad I saved this quote from Instagram last year (3/4/2023)…The past week & a half has been difficult for me & I’m still processing things. Things at the new job are good & busy. This week was the 1st time in 7 years that a story of mine landed front page of TheSpot518 as a feature story!! Last Wednesday, I was let go from my social media managing position at my previous job. Management decided to handle that work themselves “in house”. This past Sunday (2/26/2023), I was stood up for the second time on a date by Rob Hasenbalg, and this time, it was at the Cheesecake Factory in Colonie Center. Never met up with me inside in person & didn’t return my calls either. I watched him outside drive away from his parking spot to head home!! I was pissed off, upset, and hurt from what he did, let alone,from Wednesday. I reached out to my close friend Ross to inform him what happened. He came to the restaurant to console me and ate dessert with me. Tonight 3/4/2023), my parents and I split a slice of cheesecake I bought that evening to eat for our dessert after attending Saturday afternoon mass. The lunch lady at the ES I attended gave Mom and I a bracelet to wear after mass. I’m still doing my best to process everything & my emotions have been all over the place. I also blocked him on everything too. Never apologized to me for his actions. Instead, sent me indecent photos of himself for me to share in a “story”. I didn’t do that & thus, I blocked him on his “Rob Hasinbog” account where you can see his crazy stuff. I may look too good for that MF to be unsure about me and NOT be a man to express emotions, and even though I remained honest, truthful, & did my best with past job, I deserve better in my life. I deserve someone who won’t stand me up, who truly respects me, loves me, and accepts me for who I am and my flaws. Thankful to now work at a place where I am respected, appreciated, and surrounded by positive people. I pray and desire happiness in my life & not disappointment by things that are way beyond my control. Thanks for the ❤️ during good & tough times. #SaturdayMarch42023 #342022, #SaturdayThoughts, #OnwardAndUpward, #March2023 (at Capital Region (New York)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpZJohCjSdu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#OnThisDate: Hello March!! Please be a better month for me than how last month went in my personal life… Last year (3/1/2022), I ate breakfast at Duncan’s Dairy Bar with a client for a potential writing opportunity and picked up, I think, a hot Matcha Latte, at the nearby Dunkin’. Today in the mail (3/1/2023) came my first ever FRONT PAGE feature in TheSpot518!! Since I began contributing in 2016 had I never had a story of mine featured as a top story until now. This was one good piece of news I heard on Monday about this feature landing front page. The Art Associates Gallery Inc will have their art opening for “The Art of Photography” this upcoming Friday, March 3, & it features the talents of 24 Capital Region photographers. Read more about this in TheSpot518 out now on newsstands!! Thank you again Mike Sacca & Mike Panzarino for taking the time to chat with me a few weeks ago about this special exhibit that you don’t want to miss. (Photos & Article by Amy Modesti.

Monday, February 13,2023 is a day that my family & I will not forget. 11 years of life, 4 years combating diabetes & old age. My parents made the tough decision to have Sandy put to rest & cross the Rainbow Bridge at Brunswick Veterinary Hospital Monday afternoon. Sandy was having difficulty standing on her own,her sugar levels had gone from being real high to real low, & was also battling other health issues. It reached a point where she knew she had reached the end of her days. She gave it a fight, and she loved us with all her might until the rightly end. She was a special dog to us & our other animals & she is hugely missed. We loved her very much & her passing has hit us hard. Valentine’s Day, Dad laid Sandy to rest in our yard, surrounded with the things she loved while she was with us. This holiday is a double whammie with both her burial & with the passing anniversary of an uncle who moved on exactly 11 years ago. My holiday was spent a short time at work, running errands, getting the usual holiday self-care ice cream, visiting a friend who’s retiring this Friday, & mourning Sandy’s passing. Thank you Brunswick Veterinary Hospital for all the work you’ve done for the past four years for Sandy & for being present with my parents during that difficult moment. Thank you to the few friends who sent this single girl her Valentine’s Day greetings & gave their condolences. Please respect our privacy & thank you, Sandy, for what you brought to us in your lifetime. We love you and miss you girl.

These first two weeks working at Spotlight News/TheSpot518 have been good. I learned how to copy edit, conduct research for story ideas, learn more about the Town of Colonie that I’ll also conduct stories for in addition to my arts coverage, and learned how to preview Town board agendas & turn them into mini stories. This is the first time I’ve done a preview like this for any newspaper I’ve worked for. It’s a process that’ll take time to know and understand but at least it’s a start. And last night (2/7) I attended my first Town of Colonie Planning Board Meeting. Feel free to check out the preview in the Colonie Spotlight and on www.spotlightnews.com at your convenience.

#SundayThrowback:Friday, January 20,2023, retired corrections officer, Robert “Bob” Patrick, retired from Rensselaer County Sheriff’s Department. A walkout retirement ceremony was held to honor Patrick after 22 years of service! Patrick was surrounded by co-workers, family, friends. He was awarded his certificates from Patrick Russo & PJ Higgitt and took part in his final radio call in his career. Congratulations again Bob on your retirement! Enjoy your much deserved time off. This was one of several final pieces I covered for the community newspaper. You can check the photo out in the 2/3/2023 edition of “The Eastwick Press” out on newsstands & online.

Hello February!! It’s a new month with new beginnings!! Monday, January 30 was my first official day of work at Spotlight News/TheSpot518. I edited paper drafts, filled out paperwork, & yesterday, discussed what I’ll cover for my first assignments before I was sent along my way. Early portion of week will be office time. Remaining week is remote & community (while on assignment). Everything is going well so far & I’m looking forward to seeing where it goes in this new career move. It’s taken me 7 years to go from contributor to full-time employee & it’ll be exciting to see what I’ll do & discover the stories that need to be told through my lens. Thank you so much for for your guidance, support, well-wishes, & sharing story tips with me. It means a lot to me to have the support during this transitional moment and know that I’m appreciated for what I do. Thank You!! Stay tuned to see what I’m up to!!

Time For A Change…Goodbye “The Eastwick Press”. Hello Something New…

August 2017. I was a direct support professional at the ARC of Rensselaer County. My photojournalism portfolio with TheSpot518 & Nippertown (under the late Greg Haymes) was growing, and I became more invested in concert & event photography. My role as a DSP was stressful and I wanted a change in my professional career. A client and I were going to the Troy Area Senior Center to volunteer and…

#OnThisDate & #NYE2022: Happy New Year’s Eve everyone!! Thank you for your follows & support in 2022. Cheers to a much improved 2023 that I hope and pray will bring me true love (a man who TRULY loves and respects me for who I am), more focus on myself and the things I want to achieve in both my career and personal life, prosperity, and happiness. 2022 for me has seen it’s fair share of good moments, struggles, and even strange viral moments and I hope and pray that 2023 will be an improvement!! Last Year’s New Year’s Eve (12/31/2021) celebrations included getting my Covid booster shot, eating lasagna and having a celebratory drink with musician friends & family at a friend’s house, and hanging out with my pets watching the ball drop on TV. Today (12/31/2022), I got to watch my cat Molly hide in a bag and relax at home as my cold goes away. So long 2022…Hello 2023!! Happy New Year!! (Photos taken by Amy L.
