Okay, so I wrote today’s blog post, went through all the blogs on my blogroll and found some great writing from the past week to share. There’s just one … tiny … problem. I wrote it while I was asleep. Yep, it’s in my dreams. Which is fine if I ever develop the ability to…

I warned you, you filthy credit card scammers…
What did I recently say? If you scammers, telemarketers and swindlers continue to cold call me and try to steal my money, I’m going to clown you in my blog. And I’m going to record the clowning so that EVERYONE can hear how stupid you are. Case in point. “Chad” from “Credit Bureau” called me…
Read MoreThe Rexleigh Bridge to the Stars
Realistically, I have only one chance to pull this off. And there’s so many factors working against me. So freakin’ many. Clouds. Light pollution. Traffic. Location. The wrong lens. The wrong exposure. The wrong camera. The wrong photographer. Don’t laugh, that’s a pretty important factor, let me tell you. But if I can pull this…

Remember a month or so ago when I attended a tryout for Wheel of Fortune at the Saratoga Casino Hotel? Yeah. I tried out. I didn’t get picked to play the game on stage, and that was fine. It’s not like they were going to send me an e-mail and ask me to try out…
Read More“You mean you’re not from the DMV?”
Oh, you wacky telemarketers, robocallers and scam artists. You don’t get the hint, do you? I’ve gotten tired of playing around with these clowns who call my phone at all hours of the day and night, trying to swindle me out of my hard-earned money. I’ve already programmed many of the repeat callers to automatically…
Read MoreSo I just heard back from the Iowa State Fair …
Background. Last year, for the first time in three tries, I had artwork accepted at the Iowa State Fair. Two of my pieces, the infrared graveyard photo Farrell and my perspective piece What the Grasshopper Saw were accepted for display. And What the Grasshopper Saw took third place in its category. Yeah, I danced around…
Read MoreThe Christmas transit transfer
I want to show you something cool today. Something you don’t see that often. Albany’s transit system – a series of buses and trolleys – offered different fares for different trips around the city. Not every bus took you directly from your starting point to your destination, so you could request a transfer from your…
Read MoreBe very quiet … I’m hunting lotus … ha ha ha ha ha
Many, many years ago, I was involved in a North Country photo adventure and took some pictures up at Carp Pond in Corinth. During my photo endeavor, I captured the image of a lotus plant peeking through a clove of lily pads. I wanted to get another shot like that. Yesterday, I drove up to…
Read More7 and 7 on Saturday, July 7, 2018
Now this is cool. I just noticed that today is the 7th day of the 7th month. And I’m doing a “7 and 7” blog post review. How synchronous is that? 😀 Well, let’s not waste any time contemplating our existence, let’s match up some great blog posts from my favorite bloggers, writers and podcasters. …
Read MoreCompeting in a calendar contest
Point of disclosure. I enter a TON of photography competitions each year. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, but the competition is always there. This year, I’m trying something new. It’s a local photo calendar contest, where the winners will be featured on Sunmark Federal Credit Union’s upcoming calendar. If you want to enter the…
