Last week, in an effort to improve on my “slit-scan” photo technique – modifying my Nikon EM mechanical camera as a “photo finish” camera – I drove up to Saratoga Casino and Raceway for another photo shoot.  Figured I’d photograph the pacers and the trotters and hope for the best. When it comes to photography,…

It’s Saturday night, and I’m trying to get ready for this evening’s big gallery event – the Historic Albany Foundation’s ‘BUILT” charity art auction / fundraiser, or as I call it, the final event of my “charitable” photography season. Gotta look nice for the event – essentially, dress to impress.  Must find the right suit…

I’m like a mother hen watching over her new hatchlings.  Three of my artworks – The Beat of Officer Harris, Midnight at the Palace Theater and Dream Window #2: The North Pearl Street Limited – are now safely tucked inside my 2005 Saturn Ion “Cardachrome,” and this afternoon I’m dropping them off at the Cathedral…

I entered five pictures, including Poestenkill Cascade and Butterfly and Citrus, and none of them picked up silk.  Or wool.  Other than that, I did have a good time at…

Last Saturday, inbetween running errands in the morning and getting ready for the Damien Center auction, I saw that there was still an opportunity to capture some fall foliage colors – and this time, it was in my home locale, the Town and Village. Got this at about 5:00 p.m. on Saturday. As all of…
