Caption Time: They spelled my name wrong!

So last Monday, while I was in Oneida County for a little creative-battery-regeneration trip, I remembered that there was a ghost sign in downtown Utica that I wanted to photograph. And I found it… and, thanks to the BlackBerry Q10 camera phone, I was able to snag a selfie with it and share it on…

Caption Time: LOOK OUT!!!!

I shot this video last night at a private fireworks display.  It was the final shell of the night, part of the finale. Watch this video… and I bet you that partway through the video clip, you will certainly make a jump to the right… Yeah. That’s how close that fireworks shell got. If I…

Caption Time: We’re not a “drive-through” gas station…

So last Wednesday, after filling my car’s gas tank to full, I went into the mini-mart portion of the gas station to purchase some diet cola and some snacks.

Caption Time: when trees are r/trees…

I guess we’re now into 21st-century graffiti, aren’t we?  That would probably explain this not-so-oblique shoutout to the social media site reddit on some foliage along the shore of Washington Park.  I took this picture while testing out my Nikon CoolPix S30.  So I’ll let you guys do the caption.  You know the drill… Photo…
