This happened on Sunday, as I was making breakfast. I cracked two eggs into a frying pan, and was about to fry the eggs up when I noticed … One yolk broke, one did not. And the one yolk that broke … broke around the area that would have held the yolk. Probably best if…

Caption Time: A Caption for the Captain
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…
Read MoreCaption 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…

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…
