Writing, Photography, and the life lessons I learned from Street Academy
Nine years ago, I took this picture. That was at least three digital cameras ago; this must have been captured with my old Nikon D70. I think I caught this picture at Albany Rural Cemetery. it’s too ancient a photo to enter in competition; and I’ve actually taken better photos than that in the decade…

After receiving an Argus C3 “Brick” camera as a gift, I ran a few test rolls through it. The shots turned out okay, so I decided that if the camera was going to be mine, it needed to be “Chuck-i-fied.” Yep, the old camera leather was starting to peel anyway… so I opted for a…
Read MoreI captured this image last week in an undisclosed location (okay, it’s the Church of the Holy Innocents in North Albany, it’s not my fault that someone just happened to leave the front doors open). I haven’t decided if I’m going to enter this anywhere, but it definitely needs a caption if I do. So…

Yesterday morning I’m driving on Route 2 from Watervliet to Latham… when all of a sudden… I saw it in the road. Had to hit the brakes. Not enough time. Maybe if I swerve around… not enough time… wait. Oncoming traffic sees it too, they’re slowing down. Just enough of a chance… And I swerve…
Read MoreI was testing out a roll of film in Menands the other day, when I came across this little moment in time. So I’m going to let you put the caption together for this moment. What’s your best caption for this image?
Read MoreListen, I can use all the best film and top-notch cameras in the world to get my pictures… but sometimes it’s fine to just pack a roll of pharmacy-surplus 35mm film in my Nikon F100 and shoot. That’s how I got this picture. So how about someone give me a good caption for it? And…
Read MoreAlthough I’ll have a full blog post of my photo day at the Orange County Fair Speedway’s 2014 “Eve of Destruction” stunt show, I thought I’d at least tease you with this picture from last night’s event. How about coming up with a good caption for it? Post your best ones in the comment section…
