It's a made-up word — just as legitimate as locavore, if that's saying anything — referring to photographs from a particular locale. In this instance, this blog, the locale is Schenectady County, in Upstate New York, USA. I encourage anyone else interested in the idea -- to find interesting/surprising/beautiful images close to home -- to go ahead and do it. Let me know about it, so I can put up a link to your blog.
