And we’ve reached that moment. The time when I go through my archives and pull out the photos that made me smile this year. The ones that received accolades and awards and blog love. There were a few photos that captured the attention of my blog readers, and even some that won silk this year…

Chugging on the Candy Cane Express…
The last time I visited Santa’s Workshop in the Adirondacks was maybe as a kid. I don’t remember very much about it, maybe I fed a reindeer, maybe I told Santa what I wanted for Christmas, I don’t remember. But upon scouting some images and ideas for future photographic endeavors… I came across this. Santa’s…
Read MoreThe Lunar Eclipse and Barnyard Expletives
There are moments in our lives where we plan things out, bit by bit, piece by piece, frame by frame. We plan these things out. We account for all possible variables. We keep a spare tire in our car just in case we develop a flat. We keep three cans of Spam in the cupboard…
Read MoreIt’s looking like North Hudson on Thursday night / Friday morning.
I get one shot at this. One shot. And I have to get this correct. No do-overs. So here’s the plan. The 2021 lunar eclipse will appear on the evening of November 18, 2021, and into the morning of November 19, 2021. The prenumbral eclipse starts at 1:02 a.m., with the partial eclipse beginning at…
Read MoreThe results of BUILT 2021
First things first. I had a tradition of wearing all my BUILT artist pins every year. That ended after last year, when my BUILT 2013 pin disappeared on the way home from BUILT 2020. So if anybody out there has an extra BUILT 2013 stickpin and can spare it, please contact me. That being said,…

The results of “Work of Art” 2021
Two years ago, right around this time, I traveled to Old Forge, New York, and photographed a 1974 Volkswagen Super Beetle that was repainted with Grateful Dead logos and had traveled to dozens of Grateful Dead concerts. I used various filters to capture the car’s image, and combined some of those photos into a lenticular,…

The Quechee Journey, over rocks and rivers and ravines
Memo to everybody. If I ever talk about doing this again … ever … you have my permission to come over to my place, knock on my door, wait until I come out to greet you, and then you can whack me upside the head with a skillet. But for now, I did what I…
Read More“The Long, Strange Trip” is a Work of Art!
It was way back in 2019 when I traveled to Old Forge, New York, on rumors of discovering the remains of a vintage 1974 VW Super Beetle, one that had previously seen more than its share of Grateful Dead shows. I photographed it with various cameras, including using my Nikon Df with an assortment of…
Read MoreSo there’s a lunar eclipse coming next month.
Long-time blog readers know that I enjoy photographing eclipses. I’ve caught one lunar eclipse back in 2015, and in 2017 I drove to South Carolina to capture a full solar eclipse. I know that two more solar eclipses are arriving in the United States in the next few years, but November 19th will feature a…
Read MoreSunflowers in Fuji Velvia 100
My goal this year is to use as much Fuji Velvia 100 film in 2021 as I possibly can. Fuji discontinued the film earlier this year, citing trace amounts of toxic chemicals in the film emulsions. Labs will still develop the slide film, but only up until a certain time period. So for now, I’m…
