On my way back home from a Vermont photo shoot yesterday, I passed by a little roadside souvenir stand. Great. A driving break. So I stopped, rested for a few moments, and then saw a photo opportunity. Next to the roadside stand was a little lake, along with a set of Adirondack chairs on the…

Could “The Gutter” be the raunchiest bowling movie of all time? You tell me.
There might be maybe three movies that feature the sport of bowling as a central plot line. And depending on your personal feelings about the sport, they’re either the best bowling movies ever … or an affront to the very sport. Of course, you must start off with the classic The Big Lebowski and all…

Good morning everybody, it’s time for another recap of the great blog posts and photographs and ideas that populate my personal blogroll. You know … that thing on the right side of my blog that has all those hyperlinks. And let’s start with … Have a great weekend, everybody!
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: Another 10 classic pop songs you barely remember
I believe that the songs we currently call “classics” and “oldies” are only branded as such because, at one point in time, they topped the pop charts – thus, by that metric, the song should be popular forever, while a song that might have inched into the Top 20 or been a regional hit is…

Here’s the thing with me. I’ll get involved in projects, I’ll go full-tilt on those projects, I’ll have fun with those projects … and then, for whatever reason, I’ll just stop. Full stop. Put all the uncompleted projects and their tools away and not look at them or think about them for a very long…

One of the best shots I pulled from that excursion was a shot of a waterfall near the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Hudson, a photo I christened Aerochrome Falls. Man. I pulled that shot NINE YEARS…

Several years ago, my girlfriend and I went on a road trip to Vermont and visited several different covered bridges in the Northfield area. We visited them in July, so although the bridges were absolutely breathtaking, they were summertime visits, rather than autumn visits – when the Vermont fall foliage beckons for visits. I wanted…
Read MoreCAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?!?!?
Yesterday, I took the cameras up to Essex County in the Adirondacks for a little photo shoot. Nothing completely out of the ordinary, I just wanted to see if I could get some foliage shots and some other natural phenomena. And lo and behold … the Adirondacks were open. Well, at least as open as…

Good morning, my wonderful blog readers, nice to have you here today. I hope you have a great weekend planned; I’m actually considering a few things this weekend, nothing totally out of the ordinary, but you never know. But before I get to the “out of the ordinary,” I need to get to the “totally…
