So last Saturday was Date Night, and as we waited in the movie line to pay for our tickets and snacks, I saw a theater customer behind me. Yep. I had to get a picture. Because sometimes a picture needs a caption. And I need you, my wonderful blog readers, to be creative with this…

Caption Time: Their First Ride Together
Sure, why not take the Russian 1100 MTO telephoto lens to the Saratoga Race Course (the flat track) on the HOTTEST day of the year … and stand by the rail … without any shade … and try to photograph from long distances as the horses round the final turn on their way to the…
Read MoreCaption Time: Resurrection of an old photo
Here’s the deal. I don’t want you to caption this original picture. This photo was taken at a motel in Bangor, Maine in the winter of I think 2012. This photo was shot with a Lomography Sprocket Rocket camera, a totally plastic construct whose raison d’etre was to provide sprocket hole photography for those who…
Read MoreCaption Time: The Horses
Yesterday, while I was on my vacation, I was photographing one thing – when something else caught my attention. Two horses on a farm. And for an instant, before I lost the chance, I swung to my right and squeezed off this shot. And got it. So to you, my dear readers … can you…
Read MoreCaption Time: A Rainbow at Saratoga
Last night, I won a little money at the Saratoga Harness track (yeah, I’m still calling it that, you can’t stop me), and as I left the building, I looked over my shoulder and saw – Oh yeah, that’s a nice looking rainbow. Quick, out pops the BlackBerry PRIV camera phone (have I mentioned how…

Caption Time: St. Agnes Cemetery in autumn
Yesterday I caught this photo of a monument at St. Agnes Cemetery in Menands, as the fall foliage burst through in the background. For the photography nerds, there’s some seriously sweet donut-shaped bokeh in the autumn shades, but I’d definitely like to hear if any of my blog readers can come up with a decent…

This morning, while eating breakfast with a couple of my friends at Duncan’s Dairy Bar in Troy, the server brought us our beverages – coffee for my friends, diet cola for me. And as I reached for a straw to put in my drink cup… I noticed that something was odd with the straw. Odd…

Caption Time: The Carrot’s got a…
In an effort to eat healthy food, I stopped yesterday at one of my local farmer’s markets. Purchased some strawberries and mushrooms and carrots – two bunches of carrots, to be precise. But as I separated the bunches of carrots and looked through my haul of veggies to see which ones were “snack” carrots and…

Caption Time: What a sale!
The other day, I visited my local Stewart’s for some beverages and munchies. At the time, Stewart’s was engaged in one of their ice cream pint sales, and the store’s front door was decorated in a cute painted advertisement for the sale. It was then that I noticed… Well…. You’ll notice it as well. So…
