Let’s get started. Have a…
Read MoreWait, when did I buy a Rollieflex 126 shooter??
It’s a chilly Sunday morning, and I really need to clean my living space. I’ve got boxes of old things here and there, and I really should neaten up. Projects that I started and never finished … into the trash you go. Old clothes I never wear – there’s the Goodwill bag. Old cameras I…
Read MoreBidding just began for 2024’s Historic Albany Foundation BUILT charitable auction.
For the past thirteen years, I’ve entered some of my photos and constructed artworks into Historic Albany Foundation’s BUILT charitable auction.

Read MoreBeanie Bishop might be my new favorite Pittsburgh Steeler.
As a longtime Pittsburgh Steelers fan, I’ve grown to appreciate many of their legendary players. From the current lineup, I appreciate both their top running backs, Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren. I’ve cherished the super-sacking combo of T.J. Watt, Cameron Heyward and Alex Highsmith. And Chris Boswell is one of the best field goal kickers…

I want…

You hear these stories every so often. And you wonder to yourself, “Why make it so hard to fix something?” Follow me. Whenever I have a problem with one of my cameras – I might need my Nikon Df sensor cleaned, or one of the parts may need a refurbishing – I’m supposed to ship…

Hey everybody, gather round for some spooky stories, twisted tales of things that go bump in the night. No, I’m not talking about a 1:30 a.m. snack break and you stub your toe on the way to the fridge. I’m talking about the weekly blogroll recap. And there’s some great stuff here, so make sure…
Read MoreMy CPKC Holiday Train Chase got a sweet car-charging treat
I’m planning a big five-day CPKC Holiday Train chase this November throughout New York and Quebec. Because, yeah, of course I am. That being said, I want to make this trip not only the best train chase I’ve ever achieved; I also want the train chase to be as green as possible. And by “green,”…
