Writing, Photography, and the life lessons I learned from Street Academy
It’s back. The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train is returning to the rails. For reals. FOR REALS. WHOO HOO HOO HOO!!!! (running around the room) (jumping up and down) (celebrating like crazy) Don’t judge me. I’ve waited THREE LONG YEARS for this. THREE LONG FREAKIN’ YEARS. And it looks like my travels will include at least…
Read MoreSome time ago, I postulated the option of either getting a second Nikon Df camera, or ditching my current Df and going for a pair of Nikon Zfc mirrorless cameras. The idea behind this postulation was to go full-bore into three-dimensional stereoscopic photography, whether it involved creating custom View-Master reels, or standalone Holmes Stereo cards…
Read MoreBackground. A few years ago, I sponsored a Kickstarter campaign in which a UK photography enthusiast created a passive camera setup – beer cans filled with photo-sensitive paper. The idea was to place these passive cameras – “Solarcans” – outdoors to capture the sun’s rays. Of the five Solarcans I received, three of them produced…

Read MoreI recently saw a Facebook post in which someone tried to redraw various real rock and roll bands as the equivalent of Saturday morning cartoon bands. Here’s one of the images. Okay, that’s kinda cute. But what you young kids might not realize is that back in the day, when you get up on a…
Read MoreHerschel Walker’s Georgia Senate campaign has more scandals attached to it than a Kerry Washington TV drama. And at the beginning of those scandals – especially the ones involving Walker’s parentage of other children with other women, one of his most strident supporters was his son Christian Walker. And eventually, as Herschel Walker moved forward…
Read MoreThis year, as I visited the New York State Fair in Syracuse and the Big E in Springfield, I took along my pink-leathered Nikon F2S camera (“Nikon Athena”) and took some sample shots.
