December 25th.  Time to wake up.  Rise and shine. I glimpse out the window.  Snow.  First Christmas snow.  The snow’s loose and powdery – enough to coat my car, but not enough to build a snowman or a snow fort.  But there’s enough white powder on the ground to convince me to get out of…

It’s Thursday night.  I just want to relax, put my feet up, ride out the upcoming thunderstorm, and watch a whole night of How It’s Made episodes.  Yeah, it was that kind of day. Cell phone rings.  I check the Caller ID.  315 area code.  That’s either Hamilton College bugging me for a donation, or…

These long hot weekends are really taking a toll on me.  Yes, it’s great to have these scorching, cloud-sparsed days, but man can we mix in at least one summer shower? That being said, I decided to take my camera gear to the Cohoes Falls for a few photos.  In the summer, one can actually…

I have a good “photographer / model” relationship with my friend Lauren.  She’s willing to pose for any photos I need, and she gets TFP – “time for prints.”  And as I started going over my pictures for competition season, I had an idea for a photograph that would make people do a double-take –…

I’ve been working with screw-in filters on some of my photography of late – mostly my Prokudin-Gorskii photos, where I have to screw a red – then a green – and then a blue – filter to create color film off black-and-white images. In my camera filter arsenal is a smoke-colored Hoya 52mm ND400 filter. …

Yes, “harbour.”  I’m in Canada, they don’t have “harbors” here. So it’s about 6:30 in the morning…

I had a photo assignment from one of my clients, and it required me to travel to New York City on Saturday.  As I started to plan my trip, I realized that if I traveled to New York that day, I would be traveling in the middle of traffic for St. Patrick’s Day.  This meant…

Two years ago, I took some photos from the Helderberg Escarpment at Thacher Park.  One of them, “Star Trails of Thacher Park,” was presented at several contests. Last Sunday, I took my Nikon F100 film camera, along with some rolls of film and a couple of my lenses, up to Thacher Park to capture some…

Yesterday I grabbed several different cameras – my Nikon D700 digital, my Nikon F100 35mm shooter, my Rolleiflex Automat MX 120 shooter, and my Agfa Chief 616 shooter – for a day of photography through the North Country. And while my film shots are currently getting dunked and dipped at McGreevy Pro Lab, at least…
