Background. 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…

Diesel and fall foliage.
The Adirondack leaves are changing from green to yellow to red. And if I find the right location … I can get something good out of this. Yes, I’m back in Corinth. And yes, I’m back to photographing the Saratoga, Corinth & Hudson Railway’s ALCO-5 as it winds along the old train path from Corinth…
Read MoreAssembling a greatest hits photo package.
In my effort to hopefully place one of my photographic pieces in a New York City art gallery (what a goal that would be), I came across a “Call For Art” page that uses a feeder website called CallForEntry.com (or CaFE). With CaFE, apparently I can upload whatever art I want to submit to various…

Read MoreSaturday morning rock and roll
I 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 MoreHow I messed up regarding Christian Walker.
Herschel 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 MoreNikon Athena went to the Fairs…
This 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. I wanted to test out Athena’s built-in light meter, and hoped that the film I loaded in the camera would work in…
Read MoreFinally, we get Kenny Pickett. FINALLY.
Honestly, Mitch Trubisky is about as useful as a DVD rewinder. The Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback was ineffective, he couldn’t throw a long pass accurately, and his offense was totally stagnant. This was not Steelers football. And during yesterday’s game against the New York Jets … it was more of the same. The fans had…
Read MoreOne jab in the right arm, one jab in the left arm.
We are now living in the endemic stage of COVID-19, similar to the endemic stage of influenza. At this point in our lives, we’re most likely looking at inoculations and vaccinations every year, similar to the vaccinations we get each year to protect us from the flu. Last week, I made an appointment for a…
