So I had a good laugh this morning, as I found out that the City of Troy has been using a series of photographs of a Boston neighborhood as part of their letterhead and advertising. Well, never let it be said that I don’t have sympathy for the City of Troy in its plight. So…

Kodachrome at Niagara Falls
I would wager that over the past 75 years, more Kodak-produced film, including Kodachrome slide film, has been used at Niagara Falls than at any other location in America. Whether it’s been used to photograph the majestic falls during the daytime, or to capture the illuminated rainbow-colored falls at twilight, Kodachrome is as much a…
Read MoreMessing with Agfa Scala black and white slide film
Unlike my year-long love affair with Kodachrome, I’m not feeling the same amount of love for another slide film. Not that I didn’t try to feel something emotionally for it – I’ve grown to like working with slide film, and I thought this type of slide film might be just as interesting to work with…
Read MoreNews from London regarding my Kodachrome submissions…
The rain still cascaded down upon the Capital Region as I began this blog post. There was enough rain and foul weather in the sky to put Noah back in the shipbuilding business. So here’s the deal. Last month, I discovered that the Association of Photographers, an organization in Shoreditch, London, will host a gallery…
Read MoreLess than 30 days left in my Kodachrome journey…
Time sure flies, doesn’t it? It was March of 2010 when I commenced a Kodachrome photography kick; I bought old Kodachrome film stock on eBay and used it to photograph whatever I could with the vintage slide film. I’ve used Kodachrome in both my 35mm cameras, the Kiev-19 (my “Red Special”) and my Nikkormat FTn…
Read MoreThe Capital District After Dark: Skylines in Kodachrome 25
I hadn’t worked with Kodachrome 25, the slowest of the Kodachrome 35mm slide films, but that was only because I couldn’t get my hands on a roll. Prices for the film on eBay were above $30/roll, and there was no way I was paying speculator’s prices for film that I couldn’t even be sure was…

I took this photo about three years ago, when I was in Yakima, Washington. It needs a caption. What’s your best one for this?
Read MoreWelcoming a Rolleiflex TLR into my camera family
I received a Facebook message from Teri Conroy, fellow TU blogger and owner of Wunsapana Farm in Altamont. Apparently when she was cleaning out some items in her house, she found a camera that her stepfather had given to her many years ago. She had no use for the camera, it was gathering dust in…
Read MoreSending five of my Kodachrome shots to London…
I only discovered this event a few days ago, and I’ve been scrambling to find my best Kodachrome shots for submission before the upcoming deadline. The AOP Gallery in Shoreditch, London will host a gallery exhibition from January 18-February 10, 2011, featuring the stunning imagery of 75 years of Kodachrome film. This show will be…
Read MoreA brand new bridge-span “topper”
That’s right. Normally if you click either my name or my picture in the TU blog community, you see a masthead, or “topper,” featuring a fade of blue and white. Some of the other bloggers – Daniel Nester, for one – are blessed with a customized blog topper. And yeah, I wanted some customization too. …
