The TRASK 2014 Charity Event
I should be used to this. I should be used to seeing my artwork hanging at a charity event. Heck, I’ve done Historic Albany’s “BUILT” three times already, and every time I still get a case of the nerves. But now it’s time to see what happens with one of my artworks. Last night I…

I’ve tested my ASTRO intervalometer, my device that automatically sets my digital camera to take pictures at regular intervals, and have shown the results in this blog. Can I do a time-lapse photo? Yep. Can I take a picture of a bird feeder in an effort to capture some feathered friends in a photo? Done…

Nicole’s garden and the wild birds
My girlfriend Nicole has actually turned me on to gardening and horticulture. I’ve purchased some plants from Hewitt’s Garden Center, I’ve mulched here and there, and I even helped Nicole transplant some flowers and bushes from one location to another. Not bad for a guy whose previous gardening experience was that I pulled everything out…

And like me, he’s played with GAF Aerial 70mm sprocketed film – the same type of film that was used in the 1960’s and 1970’s for sky-view photography. That film is long gone, but you can still find canisters…
Read MoreA new view of the Olympic Bar sign
I’ve photographed that deteriorating Olympic Bar sign on South Pearl Street with dozens of different films and with dozens of different angles. But, in all honesty, I’ve never photographed the sign the way I did last Thursday night. Background. I realize that the old Olympic Bar neon sign hasn’t worked for years. Heck, there hasn’t…

I’m still trying to tweak this idea of a “stereo view card” recreation. And I’ve got too many freakin’ variables to work with. Do I print the card images as color, or as sepia tones, or as straight black and white? Do I make the pair of images round or square or corner-rounded or domed?…

The ASTRO and the time-lapse
You’ve seen time-lapse photography on nearly every reality TV series. It’s that scene in which you see the clouds screaming quickly by in the sky, you see the sun rising and dipping in the horizon as if it was late for a very important date. Today, you can create a time-lapse picture with your camera…
