It’s Wednesday morning, July 13. 8 in the morning. Normally I’m still at home, as I don’t need to arrive in downtown Albany for at least another hour – not unless there’s an important reason to do so. Today counts as an “important reason to do so.” A few days earlier, the Trinity Episcopal Church…

Shh… don’t tell Teri Conroy… it’s a secret…
Teri Conroy, I know you’re a really good friend of mine and you’re the nicest person in the TU blog portal, but I don’t want you to read this post right now. Not now. Go give Griffin a bath. Go take Jane-the-dog for a walk. I think Martini’s got some llama beans for you to…
Read MoreNuptials: George Hackney and Loretta Haberman
George Hackney and Loretta Haberman are friends of mine; they play on a trivia team called A Few Cards Short of a Deck. They met at a Tri-City ValleyCats game some time ago, and from there they fell in love and – last Saturday – got married. They sent me an invitation to their wedding,…
Read MoreMore Empire State Plaza 4th of July fireworks photos – this time captured in film
When I photographed the fireworks at the Empire State Plaza last Monday, I used my Nikon D700 to capture the lion’s share of the bursts. That doesn’t mean that the D700 was the only camera I used that night. During the middle of the fireworks show, I took the D700 off the tripod and activated…
Read MoreMore fun with Soviet-era Свема (Svema) Film
When I purchased some Soviet-era Свема (Svema) film, I was unsure about the quality of film I would receive. I previously shot some rolls of 120 film, and wasn’t totally impressed with the results. But in that purchase of 120 rollfilm, I also purchased some test rolls of 35mm Svema 64 film. The boxes of…
Read MoreFireworks Photos at the Empire State Plaza, 2011 Edition
I’ve developed several “traditions” in my life of late. Every Thanksgiving Day, I will deliver meals for the Equinox Thanksgiving Day project. Every Christmas Day, I will try to photograph something that is previously inaccessible due to traffic – photographing off I-787, for example. Every time I travel to Quebec, I will stop that that…

I liked the way the redscale gradient project worked out; so much so, that I wanted to try something that took the redscale imagery to a new level. As I stared at the finished “gradient” picture of the Green Island bridge in redscale, it occurred to me that the reddish colors looked almost like the…
Read MoreShare your photographic memories of 9/11 with the New York State Museum
Last year, I participated in a photo project with the New York State Museum. This year, the Museum wants to have another photo project, and I’m spreading the word – as well as contributing an entry or two – for the event. And I hope you submit something as well. NYS MUSEUM INVITES PHOTO SUBMISSIONS…

I’m on my lunch break, and I take advantage of the sunny, beautiful day to walk down South Pearl Street. There are several discount variety stores along the Pastures neighborhood – that area between the arena and the DMV – and I look through the various items and products for sale. Hmm… some Friday afternoon,…
Read MoreThe Green Island Tequila Sunrise
Fiona O’Donoghue is a photographer from Melbourne, Victoria, where she enjoys the beautiful sunshines and picture-perfect weather of Australia. She also experiments with toy cameras and film for several effects, including double-exposures and photo arrays. So when I saw this photo array of hers on the flickr photo hosting website, I must admit, I was…
