Results for my 2010 Entries for the Altamont Fair
Last year, I entered four photographs in the 2009 Altamont Fair photography contest. While they did get a few nice looks from fair attendees, none of the photographs I entered earned any ribbons or prize money. Bummer. This year, I decided to step up – rather than to give up. Instead of using my camera…

Tomorrow’s the big day. The day I take my photographs to Syracuse and submit them for judgment at the New York State Fair photography contest. Last year I was allowed two images for the New York State Fair photography contest. While one of the photographs – a long-exposure night shot of Washington Park – was…
Read MoreThe Night That Stars Fell on Wunsapana Farm
Photographing star trails in the Capital District is quite tricky. Not only do you have to wait for a clear cloudless night, with the stars unobstructed by the light of a new moon; you also have to photograph far away from street lights and traffic lights and any other sort of evening illumination – in…

Last year, Ian McCarthy, the general manager of the PBL team in Manchester, asked if I would come and photograph his team as they participated in a summer money tournament in Boston. I had a free weekend, and Ian’s a good guy, so I said sure. This meant traveling to Boston for the weekend, and…
Read MoreEmpire State Plaza Fireworks Part II – in Kodachrome
When I photographed the Empire State Plaza 4th of July fireworks display, I used two cameras – my Nikon D700 digital, and a Nikkormat FTn film camera loaded with Kodachrome 64. I knew I would get the digital shots up on the blog within moments; the Kodachrome shots… well… honestly, I was kinda concerned. See,…

So after my first experiment with cramming two rolls of 35mm film into my Holga 120N camera, I learned a few things. A Holga can handle two 24-exposure length 35mm films on a single 120 spool better than it can handle two 36-exposure length 35mm films. With the larger exposure area on the films, you’re…
