Writing, Photography, and the life lessons I learned from Street Academy
Last March, I captured a cute little picture of a squirrel who stole a bird seed cake. And of course, when I capture a shot like that, I have to blog about it. Understand that cute little pictures of squirrels eating bird seed cakes can turn into an awesome image for a latch hook rug…
Read MoreThe Capital District Photo Regionals is the “cream of the crop” for the local photography community. This is where you submit your best works for that overall appearance and glory. I’ve had six of my entries declared as “Photo Regionals” accepted pieces, and each one of them was a personal photographic success story for me.…
Read MoreThe Altamont Fair’s photography competition is hella tough. You get four entries, and you’re competing against everybody else’s four entries. And you have to hope that whatever you come up with is creative enough to wow the judges and wow the audience. I dropped off my four photos (and one latch hook rug to the…
Read MoreThere are benefits and detriments when entering the Altamont Fair’s fine arts / arts and crafts competitions. Benefits – you can enter up to four images in the photography category, and you are not limited to size or dimensions (make ’em big or make ’em small, as long as they hang safely on the wall).…
Read MoreOver the yeas, I have a nice collection of Albany Patroons game-worn jerseys. Owning them brings me plenty of joy and peace. Look, if you’ve got a game-worn Shohei Ohtani jersey, I’m sure you treasure it.

Read MoreBackground. Earlier this year, I entered three of my black and white images into Art Square New York’s “Call for Art,” which, if any were accepted, would mean they would receive a digital appearance as part of Art Square’s digital gallery show. And sure enough, my Herbie Jr :v) Was Here picture received acceptance. A…
Read MoreGood morning, my wonderful blog family. Hopefully you have good weekend plans for things. I still have to run my four photos over to the Altamont Fairgrounds (brought one of the latch hook rugs over there yesterday, they have two specific pick-up and drop-off days), so I want to get today’s blogroll recap in the…
Read MoreI remember the days when I waited by the mailbox, hoping for some little white postcards that would tell me if my photos or artworks were accepted, not accepted, accepted with a ribbon, or in one case – accepted, and then un-accepted due to building space limitations. That being said, the New York State Fair…
Read MoreBack in my youth, it was not unusual for me to see television advertisements for compilation music collections. You know, 20 hits on one LP from K-Tel or from Ronco or from Adam VIII or some other company. And these compilations would have catchy titles like “Night Heat” or “Big Smashes” or the like. But…
Read MoreI cannot believe I have to write this again. I cannot believe ignorant people exist and believe this crapola. But here we are. We’re back to the whole “trans people don’t belong in women’s sports” battle. And it all started with Sophie Cunningham. Sophie Cunningham went from a “who the hell is she” to a…
