Writing, Photography, and the life lessons I learned from Street Academy
I apologize to you. It was truly not my intention to give you complete headaches in viewing my stereoscopy images from last weekend’s photo shoots. So in the interests of helping you see the stereoscopic view without having to relax your eyes or cause you a headache-inducing brain bang … Here’s some of my shots…
Read MoreSo I fixed an issue from last Saturday’s stereoscopy experiments. I thought I had both of my Nikon Df cameras perfectly calibrated. Nope. The Silver Df was set for sunshine white balance, while the Black Df, for some reason, was tuned to a Kelvin white balance. Which makes sense, I think the last time I…
Read MoreOkay. No going back now. I’ve got everything lined up. My dual Nikon Df setup, along with two matching Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D “Nifty Fifty” lenses. And all I need to do is find a suitable subject or subjects to photograph. You know what? I bet the fall foliage looks swank in Clinton this time of…
Read MoreSome time ago, I postulated the option of either getting a second Nikon Df camera, or ditching my current Df and going for a pair of Nikon Zfc mirrorless cameras. The idea behind this postulation was to go full-bore into three-dimensional stereoscopic photography, whether it involved creating custom View-Master reels, or standalone Holmes Stereo cards…
Read MoreBackground. A few years ago, I sponsored a Kickstarter campaign in which a UK photography enthusiast created a passive camera setup – beer cans filled with photo-sensitive paper. The idea was to place these passive cameras – “Solarcans” – outdoors to capture the sun’s rays. Of the five Solarcans I received, three of them produced…
Read MoreThe Adirondack leaves are changing from green to yellow to red. And if I find the right location … I can get something good out of this. Yes, I’m back in Corinth. And yes, I’m back to photographing the Saratoga, Corinth & Hudson Railway’s ALCO-5 as it winds along the old train path from Corinth…
Read MoreIn my effort to hopefully place one of my photographic pieces in a New York City art gallery (what a goal that would be), I came across a “Call For Art” page that uses a feeder website called CallForEntry.com (or CaFE). With CaFE, apparently I can upload whatever art I want to submit to various…
Read MoreThis year, as I visited the New York State Fair in Syracuse and the Big E in Springfield, I took along my pink-leathered Nikon F2S camera (“Nikon Athena”) and took some sample shots. I wanted to test out Athena’s built-in light meter, and hoped that the film I loaded in the camera would work in…
Read MoreCharity Season 2022 is now in effect. For me, “Charity Season” means that my artworks are now entered in galas and art shows that, if my artworks sell, a portion of the proceeds goes to a specific charity. And one of my personal charities is Historic Albany Foundation. They do a tremendous job for building…

These two fair photography competitions end my “Competition Season” for 2022. My eclipse photo As Seen From Screven County has already claimed three silks (including two first-place blues at Iowa and the New York State Fair), while my infrared shot We Serve Wayward Strangers has earned two second-place banners. Three other images were prepared for…
