Okay, I’ve been derided in the past as being obsessive with my cameras.ย Me?ย No… ๐ Listen, I only own nine cameras, you don’t become a hoarder until you reach at least 15 cameras… ๐ However, I understand that there will be a brand new online comedy webseries devoted to a team of obsessive photographers…

Wrigley’s Gum and Uneeda Biscuits: Two New Ghost Signs for the Collection
Last year, I photographed several ghost signs – faded brickads that still promote long-ago products – throughout the Capital District, and later wrote an art book to chronicle them. Even though the art book is complete, I still keep an eye out for any new ghost signs – well, “new” in that I haven’t seen…
Read MoreCompetition #5 – The Eastern States “Big E” Photography Contest
I thought about entering the Big E photo contest last year, but never really got anything put together for the photography competition – I was more focused on Altamont and the New York State Fair and the Vermont State Fair. But this year, I decided I would give the Big E a chance.ย ย The Big…

Read MoreAnother star trail photo from the Sacandaga Lake
Last week, when I took my Nikon D700 to the Great Sacandaga Lake and photographed the star trails in the heavens (new moon, no clouds in the sky), I decided to bring one of my film cameras along for the ride. Yep, I brought along my Rolleiflex Automat MX twin-lens reflex camera. Inside the Rollei…

After I posted my photograph series chronicling the demolition of Trinity Church, I received an e-mail from William Leue.ย He wanted to rebuild the Trinity Church, and to get the measurements and sizes and colorings and shapes perfectly accurate, he wanted to use my photographs from my flickr site. We made an agreeable arrangement, and…

This just in.ย 5:00 a.m. is an ungodly hour to hit the road for the New York State Fair.ย However, it’s the best time to go – especially on a day when EVERYBODY’s going to Saratoga for Travers Day.ย Good.ย You guys all go fight for parking and lose your money there.ย I’ll go in…

Man what a long day, I could use a bit of a breather.ย A good game of competitive team trivia at Brown’s should take my mind off of my troubles. Gotta check the mailbox first. Ah, let’s see… bills – I paid that one, bills – I paid that one, notice to remind me of…
Read MoreResults of my entries into the 2011 Altamont Fair Photography Contest
Tuesday afternoon, 5:00 p.m.ย Everything else in my busy day has been completed.ย Nothing to hold me back.ย Now I need to know. The answer to life, the universe and everything? The sound of one hand clapping? The air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow? Nah… I already know those things.ย It’s 42, the beginning of…
Read MoreCompetition #3 – The 2011 Altamont Fair Photography Contest
It’s my third year of trying.ย It’s my third year of competing.ย And as you can imagine… I’m not giving up.ย Even though I’ve gone 0-for-10 on the two regionals earlier this year, those exclusions doesn’t hurt as badly as my going 0-for-8 at Altamont.ย Eight photographs over a two-year span; eight cold-blooded, cold-hearted rejections.…
