Last Saturday, I drove out to Syracuse to pick up my New York State Fair photos (and the three ribbons associated with same). On my way back home, I stopped at a couple of farmer’s markets and country stores for some homegrown veggies and whatnot. And in one of my favorite little “driving stops” –…

That Beach Boys mondegreen can get mon-de-violent.
Kurt Busiek is a very famous comic book artist. You might know him from books like Astro City and Arrowsmith; he’s one of the people that created the legendary Thunderbolts comic series (which, by the way, why aren’t the Thunderbolts in the MCU yet?). I say this, because one day, he quoted the lyrics from…
Read MoreThe IInspiration just made my weekend.
As you may have known from reading my blog over any distinct period of time, I do enjoy a bit of professional wrestling. And two wrestlers that I really enjoy are Cassie Lee and Jessica McKay, who until recently worked in World Wrestling Entertainment as the IIconics (now known as the IInspiration). Their podcast “Off…

In the final days of the Trump Administration, the former guy installed many of his loyalists onto various boards and positions, allowing them to continue their Trumpian loyalty. One of those loyalists was Kellyanne Conway, who was appointed to the Board of Visitors for the Air Force Academy. Yesterday, President Biden announced that 18 Trump…

So I caught this picture during my recent Vermont covered bridge excursion. This photo was taken in Bennington, at the Burt Henry Bridge. It’s a one-lane bridge that spans the Walloomsac River. I shot it with my Rolleiflex Automat MX, with a pack of Kodak Ektar that I think may have started to spoil. But…

I’m sorry, but I can’t resist a little juvenile humor today. This came up on my Twitter feed, and it made me smile. Now if you’re not understanding the joke … Ms. Brittany Gray is doing a news report from station WWMT in Kalamazoo, Michigan. She’s reporting from a town called Climax. Climax is situated…

As part of my usage of Fuji Velvia 100 film, I spent some time photographing the covered bridges in Bennington County, Vermont. Just a few test shots, nothing out of the ordinary. Bennington has five covered bridges, including three that are within minutes of each other – the Silk Covered Bridge, the Paper Mill Covered…
Read MoreThe Summer and Autumn with Fuji Velvia 100
