A few years ago, I dabbled in three-dimensional photography, and I experimented with a few different options. I used vintage cameras that had multi-lens outputs, like the Trio 3D and the NIMSLO. I used two Nikon EM’s and shot them simultaneously. But I wasn’t very satisfied with the results. And I think I have a…

The International Photography Exhibit’s press release (with four Chuck Miller photos in it)
If you haven’t guessed by now, I’m completely over the moon that four of my photos – Washington County 2:30 a.m., Five Tickets to Ride Day and Night, The Three-Two Pitch and We Serve Wayward Strangers – have been accepted as part of the New Jersey Photography Forum’s International Photography Exhibit, to be held this…
Read MoreMy Durham Fair 2022 entries are …
The Durham Fair photo competition is my final in the five-spoke “Competition Season” run. And I’ve definitely had some success this year, but Durham has always held a good spot for me. I’m usually limited to three entries per year at Durham; however, this season, Durham will offer a fourth entry in a themed category.…
Read MoreWhen Nikon Athena’s on point…
I’ve really been digging my Nikon F2S camera (“Nikon Athena”) of late. It’s a great little workhorse, and the pictures it captures are as sharp as a knife. And this summer, I’ve had a bit of fun with Nikon Athena, packing it with a roll of Kodak Ektachrome E-100 and taking it for a few…

The New York State Fair results, 2022 edition
My usual routine for the New York State Fair is to get up as early as possible, drive to Syracuse to get a good parking spot, and then enter the Fairgrounds. This year, I tried something different. Instead of driving out to Syracuse, I hopped aboard a Yankee Trails chartered bus. Different experience, to say…
Read MoreTrying to align Nipper and a rainbow.
Man, what a miserable, overcast drive home. Clouds in the sky look like they’re going to explode in showers. And I’ve got the sun behind me, beating on the back of my car as I head into this murky weather. Oh look, there’s the statue of the RCA Victor dog Nipper atop the former RTA…
Read MoreA promise to be kept in December.
Earlier this year, I made a promise that should my photo Katsha nu: weso (my capture of the Oneida illuminated tipi installment along the New York State Thruway) receive any proceeds, either through sales or awards, I would donate that money at the end of the year to a Native American charity. This is what…
Read MoreMy 2022 Altamont Fair results – and a post-fair good deed.
When was the first time I tried the Altamont Fair’s photography competition? Way back in 2009. It was so long ago, I was blogging about it on a different platform. Way long ago. I didn’t win that year. Nor did I claim any ribbons in 2010. Things picked up in 2011, however, with a couple…
Read MoreMy entries for the 2022 Altamont Fair are …
If we’re talking NASCAR parlance, I treat Competition Season as a tour through the big tracks. The New York State Fair is my Daytona 500, the Iowa State Fair is my Darlington, the Big E is the Bristol Motor Speedway, and the Durham Fair is Loudon. The Altamont Fair, however, is my Martinsville. It’s tight,…

A bicolor sunflower
Of late, I’ve enjoyed visiting the sunflower farm at Herrington’s Pumpkins in Washington County. Last year, I got some great photos there, and this year, I hoped to capture some more. I brought along two cameras – my Nikon F2S (“Nikon Athena”) and the Pentacon Six (which has still not earned a nickname). My film…
