In the early 1960’s, King Features Syndicate came up with an idea.ย They would take some of their most popular newspaper comic strips and turn them into animated cartoons, and then syndicate those cartoons to television stations.ย These cartoons could be stitched together as three or four episodes of a 30-minute TV show, or they…
Read MoreThe Palace Theater at night, shot with efke film
I recently saw this fantastic photograph by Max Sinton on flickr. He used black and white efke 25 ISO film, and when I asked him how he got this tremendous shot, he told me that he shot at f/8 for approximately 45 seconds. Now, I can’t afford to go to Paris and shoot in that…

I’ve put up with this for too long.ย Is the birth certificate real or is it a fake?ย And why can’t I see the real birth certificate?ย Look, I’m willing to follow along as easily as the next person, and I’m not one to be classified as a “birther” or anything like that.ย But come…
Read MoreHappy first anniversary, Scott and Mindy
One year ago, a cute couple from Schenectady – Mindy and Scott – got married. Now why am I commemorating this on my blog?ย This isn’t a wedding blog. But one of the things I do discuss on this blog is photography, and one of my pictures ended up as part of their wedding announcement.…

It was a relationship that had its ups and its downs.ย There were times when I enjoyed being a part of it – I boasted to everybody about how lucky and fortunate I was that we were together.ย And there were days when I wished we never met each other.ย And one day – just…
