3:00 a.m. Tuesday morning.ย I’ve got a headache and I can’t sleep. May as well get out of bed and do something. I’ve had a few ideas for some art projects, but I couldn’t put anything together that would make a cohesive sensible final product. Most of these ideas involved a ghost sign I photographed…

St. Patrick’s bell tower in efke and filters
Sunday morning, May 5.ย 6:30 a.m.ย Nobody gets up this early on a Sunday unless they’re going to church. Yep.ย You know it.ย Chuck’s going back to church. On Saturday, I took some experimental, artistic photos of the bell tower of St. Patrick’s Church in Watervliet – the bell tower being the only remaining structure…
Read MoreA prayer to St. Patrick
Saturday afternoon, May 4. I’ve avoided taking any pictures of the demolition of Watervliet’s St. Patrick’s Church, for the simple reason that I didn’t want to exacerbate the loss of a house of worship to make room for a Price Chopper. That debate is for another time and for another blog. But like my blog…

Monday afternoon.ย I had a few shots left to take in the Nikon F100, and I decided to “burn them off” by taking some pictures here and there.ย And as I was in downtown Albany anyway, I figured a few long-distance shots of buildings might work out perfectly for me. And that’s when I saw…

I was puttering around Facebook yesterday, and I saw some posts from my friends at the Auburn Photography Club. ย Mostly when I see any posts from the APC, it’s involving one of three things – a new photo trick or technique they’re working on; getting ready to enter their shots in the New York State…

I’ve been trying and trying and TRYING to get my slitscan photos working properly.ย So much so, that I’ve developed a small testing routine. Every Sunday whenever possible, I drive up to Saratoga Casino and Raceway – that’s what THEY call it, it’s still “Saratoga Harness” to me – and I swap information with Dave…
Read MoreAre my photos regional-worthy?
I’m not going to lie.ย I definitely enjoy entering my photos into competition.ย And I’ve had my share of success in doing so.ย Last year wasn’t as great as it could have been, but that means that I’ll try harder this year. But despite all my attempts to pick up wins at Altamont and at…
Read MoreA new peaceful photo…
I need some peace and tranquility in my life. We all do. In 2005, when I attended my 20th reunion of the Class of 1985 at Hamilton College, I took some moments of peace and silence and wandered through the college’s arboretum, the Root Glen.ย I was in a dark place in my life at…

Yes, I’m still up here in beautiful Saint John, New Brunswick.ย On moments when I’m not watching the NBL Canada All-Star Skills Competition, I’m walking around downtown, looking for cool things to photograph. And I found a couple of “things,” and I wanted to share them with you today. Apparently Saint John has a “ghost…

While I’m enjoying my weekend in New Brunswick, I decided to take some pictures at Saints’ Rest Beach and McLarens Beach, which is only a few miles – er, kilometers – from my hotel.ย It means getting up at 5:00 a.m. – oh wait, that’s Atlantic time, which means I’m really getting up at 4:00…
