I’m still pinching myself – first, my time-stretched slitscan photo The Three-Two Pitch gets accepted into the Cincinnati-based Manifest Gallery’s “The Sweep of Time” show. Then, I find out that the photo is one of five that will appear on the show’s promotional postcards. Now comes new news. I took a peek at Manifest Gallery’s…

BUILT is Historic Albany Foundation’s charitable auction and fundraiser. The art show, which features everything from sculpture to paintings, from photography to mixed media, encompasses the breadth and depth of Capital District artists who put their own personal spin on historic Capital District architecture and history. I’ve entered BUILT for the past fifteen years or…
Read MoreThe New York State Fair Photography Competition, 2026 results
My routine for the New York State Fair is simple. Drive up on the first Saturday or Sunday that the Fair opens, find a good parking spot, enter the Fairgrounds as early as possible, get a selfie at the I ❤ N Y sign, walk around, take some pictures here and there, check out the…
Read MoreThe Kodak Panoram 3A – will this work?? Pretty Please???
I have been chasing the “Buena Vista Panorama” image for AGES now. Some background. My Grandma Betty told me this story about how, when she and my Aunt Elaine visited Europe, they attended a guided tour of Rome. The tour guide spoke no English, while neither Grandma Betty nor Aunt Elaine spoke any Italian. But…
Read MoreThe Lomography Spinner 360 – I like it and I don’t like it
I currently have an ultra-wide film panoramic film camera, my Krasnogorsk FT-2 35mm Soviet camera that I’ve colloquially nicknamed “Raskolnikov.” It’s a hit-and-miss camera; sometimes the photos are incredible, sometimes they’re just meh. I want more than meh. With that in mind, there are three options for the type of super-ultra-wide camera I desire. There’s…
Read MoreThe Bur Oak Tree at Hudson Shores Park
Yesterday had beautiful sunshine, which gave me an opportunity to test out the Kolari Vision modification to my Zodiak 30mm 180-degree bubble lens. Instead of filters attached to the outside of the camera lens, this lens actually needs the filters installed INSIDE the lens before the lens can attach to the camera. I wanted some…

With sunnier weather in the forecast, I wanted to test out the new custom-cut Kolari filters for my Nikon Df infrared modified camera. Some time ago, I asked Kolari to modify a set of internal filters for my Zodiak 180-degree lens (a lens originally set for my Pentacon Six TL). Now it’s time to take…

More tests with the Infrared Zodiak Fisheye Connection
Last month, I tested out some new modified infrared lenses on a combination of my Nikon Df infrared-modded camera. And the first tests were rather impressive. I could achieve 720nm infrared shots with a fisheye lens that wasn’t previously designed for such adventures. With a warm day yesterday, I felt it was a good time…
Read MoreMore detail to A CO Railfan’s Dream
I never settle for “just good enough.” If I make something, I’ll try the next time to make it better. It’s evolution and creation as a co-existence. Such is the case with A CO Railfan’s Dream, one of my entries for Competition Season 2026. I truly love this image and its surreal mixture of film…
Read MoreThe Infrared Zodiak Fisheye Connection
I strive for compatibility between all my camera equipment. Of my primary four shooters – my two Nikon Df cameras, my Nikon F2S 35mm film shooter, and my Pentacon Six TL medium format film camera, I can swap out various components to increase my shooting flexibility. I need my super-big telephoto lens? No problem. One…
