One of my Facebook friends posted this on his page, and it caught me. One of the original core members of the band Kiss – guitarist Ace Frehley – passed away at the age of 74. And if you’ve ever attended a Kiss concert – and I mean with the original core members of Ace,…

The best way to watch a Pittsburgh Steelers football game
Tonight, the Steelers will take their AFC North-leading 4-1 record to Cincinnati, where they will face the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday Night Football. And let me tell you.

Read MoreA trim is what I need
Last month, I created a super-ultra-wide composition photo by shooting a roll of B&W film in my Pentacon Six TL at the harness track, then switching to color film to photograph one of the races from start – to finish – to winner’s circle photo. And I blogged about it … because, yeah, I did.…
Read MoreThe dog that was twenty times smarter than Lassie.

Some might say it’s when Mariah Carey leaves her cryogenic chamber and belts out “All I Want For Christmas Is You” on every single radio station. Some might say it’s when entitled people get irritated if someone says “Happy…
Read MoreMy TRON: Ares review
Greetings, programs. (I just had to say that.) There’s a reason why I have an entire blog category devoted to the movie TRON. That film blew my young mind. I remember seeing it back in the early 1980’s at Sangertown Square Mall in New Hartford, New York (just a few miles away from Hamilton College),…
Read MoreThe Latch Hook Covered Bridge project as of October 9, 2025
As of right now, my left and right panels for this latch hook covered bridge are complete. Which makes me very happy. But I still have to connect them to a center panel. Here’s what I have so far. So what this entails is a third piece of canvas. I have to make the canvas…
