I’ve been having a lot of fun with this kaleidoscope lens – you know, shooting through it and getting some waycool “energy” photos out of it … So as you can imagine, the more I play with this, the more I want to do more with it. More, more, more. It’s almost the Andrea True…

My new customized View-Master reels arrived. Wow.
I’ve been on a three-dimensional photography kick of late, now that I’ve combined two Nikon Df cameras with a synchronized shutter. And as I continue this process, each time that I get a decent set of stereoscopic photos, I keep going on a theme until I achieve seven distinct photo sets. Then I send the…
Read MoreReturn to the Hadley Bow Bridge
In 2015, I shot several photos at the Hadley Bow Bridge, a parabolic bridge that spans the Sacandaga River from Corinth to Hadley. This was around the time when the Saratoga and North Creek Railroad made its weekly trips through the Adirondacks, and in October 2015 I captured this colorful shot amongst the foliage. Yum.…

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…

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…
