When I visited the Durham Fair last September, I had my four-lens Nimslo camera handy. And yes, I took a few photos while I was there; the Durham Fair actually has a dedicated llama competition, and I wanted to capture some images of these majestic beasts. And I got these. Hope you like. View post…

It passed at 10:45 a.m. on Sunday morning…
And I was there to capture it. See? Background. It’s Sunday morning. The Adirondack Mountains are blooming with the changes in foliage. For the past year or so, I’ve photographed the Hadley Parabolic “Bow” Bridge, and my experiments became the basis for the picture Parabola: From Hadley to Corinth. But even with my efforts in…

For the better part of a year, I’ve shot pictures with my Krasnogorsk FT-2 ultrawide panoramic camera (the camera I’ve nicknamed “Raskolnikov”, which either means the protagonist in Crime and Punishment, or the barnyard expletive uttered by Boris Badenov in the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons). I’ve had some successes, some non-successes, but I haven’t given…

A night of (combined) copper
Last Sunday night, I had a blast photographing the blood moon eclipse. Probably drove all my Facebook friends nuts by talking about it so much. Near the end of the night, with the clouds oozing over the horizon, I had to put a stop to the photography – I couldn’t get a decent shot of…

The Blood Moon Eclipse… and I successfully photographed it!
This is my last chance. My only chance. I need to get this blood moon eclipse. I have to get this copper-red moon. And a hundred things are working against me. Rain. Clouds. Poor location. Equipment failure. Wrong lens. Wrong camera. Wrong photographer. But I can’t give up. If I don’t get this blood moon…

The Big E – Durham Fair Road Trip
Seven pictures. Two locations. One day. For the first time in my photographic competition career, I’m going to try to visit two fairs in one day. This is how my schedule stacks up; my original plan was to go on Sunday night, but Sunday night is reserved for the lunar eclipse, and I can’t reschedule…

Okay. The last time I used my animated four-shot Nimslo film camera, I tried taking pictures of ducks in the pond. Although I did get some successful shots, I felt that I hadn’t really achieved what I wanted with this camera. I needed to experiment. I needed to take pictures here and there, and hope…

I was in Buffalo over the weekend; the National Basketball League of Canada hosted a free agent player combine in West Seneca, and I drove out to assist them. I also spent some time talking with new league commissioner David Magley (former Albany Patroon David Magley) about various things and going forward with the NBL’s…

There’s a spot on Broadway, maybe about half a mile from the Arnoff Building, that has a very special treat after a rainstorm. See, about two months ago, I was testing some high-contrast B&W film in my newly-acquired Leica, and I achieved this picture. Now this is truly nice… but it’s developed into an inspiration…
