Earlier this week, I took my camera gear for another trip through the Adirondacks. At this point in time, I’m looking for something to add to my arsenal of photos for competition season. If I find something better than what I currently have available for show, then that’s fantastic. If not… then it’s just a…

Enter the Altamont Fair 2014 Fine Arts competition!
Every year, as the summer arrives, I gather my pictures together for Altamont. I blog about the experiences, about the entries, and eventually about the results. From my first competition in 2009 to last year’s first-place win for The Jumbuck, I’ve blogged about the highs and the lows, the happiness and the heartache, and all…
Read MoreBuzz and Stinger
Buzz and Stinger were two honeybees. Their only duties and joy in life involved gathering pollen from one flower and bringing it to another. They liked working together – they were born on the same day in the hive, and they always looked out for one another. One beautiful Saturday afternoon, Buzz and Stinger were…
Read MoreThere’s something cool about neon signage
The other day, I photographed the Colonial Cleaners neon sign with my electrified Revolog Tesla 2 film. Last Thursday evening, I went back for another shot. The original plan was to test a couple of films as part of a splitfilm project; unfortunately, the project did not turn out as well as I had hoped…

I’ve been trying to find a way to use this Revolog Tesla 2 film, to make a picture that will stand out and impress. So far I’ve shot vintage signage with it… I’ve shot ghost signs with it… I’ve shot baseball pitchers with it. And no matter what I’ve photographed, the pictures are okay –…

This isn’t supposed to happen. I’m not supposed to have second-thoughts or third-thoughts about my pictures. If I think my photos are winners, then I put them in competition and see how they do. I’ll turn the photos into Dream Windows and sell them for charity. I’ll promote the becheebers out of them in this…

Once upon a time – I think this was in the mid-1970’s – my Grandma Betty and my Aunt Elaine took a trip through Europe. They visited England, Spain, Greece, Italy and a few other countries. One of the stories my Grandma Betty told me about the trip was during their visit to Italy, they…
Read MoreOne more photo, one more journey.
My story last Monday on this Kodak Vest Pocket Autographic camera, and the camera’s documented journey through World War I, went crazy viral. It’s appeared on several websites, it’s been shared through various Twitter tweets, it’s taken on a life of its own. But as I promised… the camera’s going home. As far as I’m…
