The following is a playlist for the broadcast of the Nightowl Radio Show, a one-hour college radio show on station WHCL-FM. The show can be streamed tonight at 7:00 p.m. Eastern at whcl.org. For tonight’s broadcast, I found original audio commercials and promos for a 1985 charity DJ performance, where I played records for 50…
Read MoreA few days ago, I set up a Solarcan Puck passive camera in my neighborhood, and after two days of blaze, I got a really nice image. So let’s expand on that. I asked a friend of mine to place a Solarcan Puck in his sunrise-facing window and leave it there FOR A FEW WEEKS.…
Read MoreHonestly, I could do what every other person does. I can go to the grocery store and by those “fun size” bagfuls of candies, sit by my door, and wait for the costumed little trick-or-treaters to arrive and shout ‘TRICK OR TREAT” and then I hand off the candies.

The Silver Df was set for sunshine white balance, while the Black Df, for some reason, was tuned to a Kelvin white balance. Which makes sense, I think the last time I…
Read MoreOkay. No going back now. I’ve got everything lined up. My dual Nikon Df setup, along with two matching Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D “Nifty Fifty” lenses. And all I need to do is find a suitable subject or subjects to photograph. You know what? I bet the fall foliage looks swank in Clinton this time of…
Read MoreGood morning everybody. With the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train re-starting after a two-year pandemic-infleunced hiatus, I had the opportunity to interview one of the Holiday Train’s most proficient photographers, Neil Zeller. He’s listed on my personal blogroll, and he’s also organizing a photo class that will take several people through various fantastic shooting locations to…

The following is a playlist for the broadcast of the Nightowl Radio Show, a one-hour college radio show on station WHCL-FM. The show can be streamed tonight at 7:00 p.m. Eastern at whcl.org. It’s kind of a mixture of content on this week’s show … but it’s also the 39th anniversary of a moment in…

One stitch left. One final pull of dark cornflower yarn into this massive rug. Background.
