Writing, Photography, and the life lessons I learned from Street Academy
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…

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…

Came across this vintage picture in my archives the other day. The toy itself is extremely collectible, especially when there are four musicians in the set. But if you had a toy like this… what song do you think it might play? And no, “Three Blind Mice” isn’t an option. There’s four of them, don’tcha…
Read MoreI haven’t shot anything with my LomoChrome Purple boutique film of late, and a few weeks ago I wanted to break out a pack of the odd-colored film.

Caught this photo at the Hobby Lobby in Latham. I’ll let you all come up with a nice caption for this one. I was thinking… “Industrial Nutcracker Workers of the World, Unite!” But I’m sure you can think of a better one. 🙂

I was at the Altamont Fair last Tuesday… and just for the heck of it, I took a selfie photo. And maybe I should have looked behind me before I took said selfie photo. Background, Chuck, always check your background. But I’ll let you, my loyal blog readers, have fun with this one. Give me…
Read MoreIt wasn’t the burned-out building in downtown Albany that caught my attention. No, I was actually transfixed by the newly-attached Realtor® sign affixed to the charred timbers. So here’s what I’d like from you. What advertising copy would you recommend that this Realtor® employ that could possibly sell this property to a new and enthusiastic…
Read MoreI’m not going to say anything about this picture, other than it was taken by Sharon Rippey at Hamilton College during my reunion. However, I’m more than willing to put myself on the line for a Caption Time blog post. I’ll let you all have fun with this one, just please keep the comments within…
