Viewing hours are Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. The resulting exhibit will highlight Sansivero’s most popular photos as well as his personal favorites.“I am really excited to showcase them,” he said. It ignited a passion that led Sansivero to sojourn in search of forgotten or abandoned places. The rest, as they say, is history.“When I found that house in Pennsylvania with everything left behind — an old suit in the closet, an old piano, old photographs — it was like a movie set, or the entry into another time period,” Sansivero said. Self-portrait of photographer Bryan Sansivero in front of the ‘Witch House’Consisting of approximately 30 color photographs, ranging in size from 6”x4” to 20”x30,” the exhibit is Sansivero’s first solo show and chronicles his travels through Europe and North America, showcasing homes and other habitations that have been given up to the ravages of time.“I have always been interested in abandoned spaces, old architecture,” Sansivero, who grew up in Huntington, said. “I am a very curious person; if something is abandoned and the door is open, I am going in to photograph it. Dreams of Decay: Shining a Light on Abandoned Places, a photography exhibit by Bryan Sansivero at the Huntington Public Library, 338 Main St., Huntington from Jan. In Sansivero’s photos, among the light and shadows, the audience finds hints as to when comfort became careworn: crumbling wallpaper, disowned toys, tintype photographs, artifacts of age.

We do not sit at a desk all day, we serve the community. So we went to the website, made the appointment for him, and he was good to go. [If] they don't trust going to the hospital, well, they can come to their local library and get that education. And we do not read books all day—but you can come check out a book!

And wherever he went, they told him to make an appointment online. And the next week, he came in, he did the interview. We've recently had a customer come in, and he said he had a job interview.
