So after four ribbons, three of them blue – it’s time to see if my macro photograph After the Rain can hold its own in a full gallery show. And last night … it had its chance, as one of 35 artworks in the 2019 Work of Art gallery fundraiser for the Albany Institute of…

The Results of BUILT 2019
On Friday afternoon, I schlepped my three BUILT artworks to the Empire State Plaza museum for the 2019 Historic Albany Foundation BUILT: Albany Architecture Through Artists’ Eyes art show. I’m hoping that all three pieces find new homes. One wired-up piece (featuring the sign from Hoffman’s Playland), one piece from my latched hook art series…

The deadline for submission to the Albany Center Gallery Members’ Show is next week. But with everything else going on – BUILT, the Work of Art at the Albany Institute of History and Art – I plumb forgot. This can happen when you’re my age. The three signs of old are are loss of memory…

After the Rain is officially a Work of Art!
Last year, I was very fortunate in that one of my artworks, my infrared photo Infrared Horizon 787 was accepted into the Albany Institute of History and Art’s “Work of Art” show – and the piece eventually sold at that show. So I tried again this year. I was allowed two submissions, so I chose…
Read MoreRealigning Raskolnikov
I’ve owned my Ukrainian super-ultra-wide film camera, my Krasnogorsk ФT-2 that I’ve nicknamed “Raskolnikov,” for approximately five years. I don’t use the camera as often as I want to, but when I use it, I like what it does. So I’m preparing for this big November photo shoot in which I’ll use as many of…

More 3D tests … and I promise to cut down on the flashing images
Last week, I packed two rolls of Fuji 400 film into my two Nikon EM cameras for another test of my c’est schisse 3D film photography experiment. And before I post these images … I am going to apologize to you, my beloved blog readers, for giving you headaches in past blogs regarding this experiment.…

The Dry Test at Saratoga Harness
Okay. I’ve got my “new-to-me” Nikon EM cameras – which I’ve combined in a c’est schisse format to hopefully create stereo photos, and now it’s time to test out my photographic plans. Work with me on this. First, take a look at the frames from this vintage 1960’s-era View-Master photo set. Well now. These are…
Read MoreMy Homemade Nikon c’est schisse Camera System
What, you’ve never heard of the Nikon c’est schisse camera system? Let me explain. I love three-dimensional photography, and over time I’ve purchased various single-use cameras to help me create this effect – the Trio3D and the Nimslo and the Kodak Realist, for example. But these cameras are not as strong as I want. They’re…
Read MoreA test run at the Durham Fair
Two weeks ago, I test-ran some film through a new-to-me camera, and took some shots at the Big E in Massachusetts. Last Sunday, I ran some film through ANOTHER new-to-me shooter, this time taking pictures at the Durham Fair in Connecticut. Am I going to enter any of these pictures in competition? Not likely. These…

It’s nice to get feedback (Big E 2019 edition)
Of the five “competition season” yearly photo salons, the Big E provides the most “judge’s feedback.” Sure, I could track down a judge at one of the other events and ask him or her what he/she thought of my photos, or maybe a judge might check off a reference on a scotch-taped checklist. Since the…
