With warmer weather on the horizon, it’s time for me to break out the Nikon Df dual action setup and try to get that last stereo shot of the Saratoga, Corinth & Hudson Railway so that I can complete a customized View-Master reel of stereoscopic train photos. And with Easter weekend, the SC&H announced that…

Last week, I blogged about my brand new Nixie clock with its glowing red-orange numbers and waycool aesthetics. With that in mind … I started thinking about the intricate details that make every Nixie tube in that clock. How numbers that need more visual display are oriented into the front of the Nixie tube rather…
Read MoreAtomic Nipper.
I told you I was going to play with this kaleidoscope gizmo and get a killer photo out of it. Took me maybe 24 hours to come up with this little treasure. And you know if I’m going to test this kaleidoscope gizmo out on something … it has to be the RCA Nipper statue…
Read MoreSo that’s a Pyramidion Kaleidosphere. Can I use it as a camera lens?
I swear … inspiration for photographic concepts comes from the weirdest of places. And in this case … it involved 2:00 a.m. insomnia scrolling on social media. It’s where I saw what appeared to be an advertisement for a very cool kaleidoscope. To be more precise … it’s a Pyramidion Kaleidosphere. This device. Gaze and…
Read MoreA new version of Ran Out of Firewood
Last January, I came up with a photographic concept of a Christmas tree that disappeared – leaving its lights and ornaments behind. Such became the image Ran Out of Firewood. I’ve already submitted this image in the upcoming 3D International Photography Competition in Vienna, and I want to do more with it. So I went…

I spent weeks reviewing and deciding which images would make my final four for the upcoming International 3D stereo photo competition in Vienna. This is the last year of the competition; and if I’m going to pull this rabbit out of my hat, I need to grab it by the scruff of its neck and…
Read MoreThe AGFA Bridge Over Ansco Lake in the Ocean State
I took this photo 12 years ago. It was one of my earliest successful “splitfilm” photos, where I shot two rolls of film in the same camera. Ah, my sweet shot of expired Ansco 616 film against 35mm AGFA Vista color print film, against a murky day at Washington Park in Albany. The photo claimed…
Read MoreAlbany Patroons 114, Lehigh Valley 107 – and how about some 3-D Patroons shots?
My first photography adventures began way back in 2005, when I took my little Nikon D70 with its kit lens to an Albany Patroons game and got some images for my efforts. I learned a lot in those early days. I learned that a camera that could barely achieve an ISO of 1600, with a…
Read MoreRejection … rejection … re –
I’m still trying to get my artwork shown in various national galleries. It’s part of the next evolution from my summer based “Competition Season.” And after a while, the rejection letters don’t sting as much as they normally would. It’s like Pavlog’s dog in the electrified cage. At first, when the cage electrifies, the dog…
Read MoreBut honey, I did put the Christmas tree away! Honest I did!
I’ve had this idea for a photo composition for a while, and thankfully someone could help me out with this project. The idea was to photograph a fully-decorated Christmas tree. Sounds simple, right? But what if you could take the “tree” away and just leave the ornaments and lights and tree topper behind? I did…
