I’ve participated in the Albany Institute of History and Art’s “Work of Art” (now known as “An Artful Evening”) twice; last year with my drenched dandelion photo After the Rain, and prior to that with my infrared image Infrared Horizon 787. This year’s event will honor my fellow Hamilton College classmate and blogroll denizen (and…

Welcome to the List of Champions
I won’t lie. I hold onto slights like a bear trap holds onto a hiker. Many, many years ago, when I first started entering my photos in competitions, I tried submitting my shots into the Capital District Photo Regionals. The Photo Regionals are the preeminent show for local photographers, and I had hoped that something…
Read MoreResults from the 42nd Annual Photo Regionals
It’s Saturday afternoon, and I just received an e-mail from Albany Center Gallery. I can feel my heart pounding right now. It’s been three years since my neon dancing artwork Step and Pivot made the cut for the then-39th edition of the prestigious Capital District Photo Regionals. And through all the craziness that’s gone on…
Read MoreWell, ArtBeat Studios did NOT disappoint…
Background. A couple of weeks ago, I blogged about using ArtBeat Studios, the company that produces my metallic and acrylic prints, to create a special print for an upcoming art show or auction. Due to various factors this year, I haven’t been as active with my cameras, but I did get an awesome shot of…

I almost pulled a Photo Regionals “audible.”
Well, it was delayed because of COVID-19, but the 42nd annual Photo Regionals will actually take place this fall. In fact, tomorrow I drop off my three entries at Albany Center Gallery. All submissions will be shown in a salon setting, then the best of the best will be selected for the regular Photo Regionals…
Read MoreOkay, ArtBeat Studios, I’m counting on you…
I have two photography pro shops that I swear by. McGreevy Pro Lab in Albany has been a godsend. They have printed some of my biggest award winning photographs and artworks, they’ve put up with my custom requests for Dream Window inserts, they’ll develop all sorts of exotic film for me – no, really, they…
Read MoreTwo Chuck Miller artworks donated for an upcoming In Our Own Voices auction
Whenever I can, I will always help those in need. In the past, I’ve donated several of my artworks to various charities for auction purposes, or for outright donations to help others. This morning, two of my artworks will join a collection of art and prizes that will be auctioned off as part of an…
Read MoreThe Return of the Cemetery Photography Contest (and why I can’t enter it)
Many, many years ago, St. Agnes Cemetery would hold an annual photography contest, where photos that were taken on the cemetery grounds were displayed at a local location, and the best photos would receive ribbons and money. This was fun. In fact, in 2010 I actually won the contest with this photo. This year, the…
Read MoreAnd my last hope for Competition Season just went plop.
I get it. I get it. COVID-19 is breaking everything. And my last possible hope for something to come out of Competition Season this year has just been dashed. I submitted several digital photos to the Washington State Fair, in the hopes that COVID-19 had finally floated away from that state. No dice. They just…

My entries that would have been into the 2020 New York State Fair Photography Competition
First, I heard that because of COVID-19, the 4-H groups would not have their meeting at the New York State Fair this year. Then, I heard that because of a deadly rabbit virus, there would be no rabbits or cavies at the Fair this year, either. Then this happened. pic.twitter.com/ELBC1UtpL8 — New York State Fair…
