Grab your camera and snap photos to document Syracuse's return to in-person events. On this Photo Meetup, photographers will join Jeffrey Perkins, who has been a physician and a photographer for 50 years. He’s been involved with Photo Walks for the past four years and believes that photography is empowering. He looks forward to leading a group to photograph this year's Taste of Syracuse, which returns to Clinton Square after a two-year hiatus.
