It’s Saturday afternoon, on a sweltering summer day in the Capital District. I’ve been traveling around the area with my camera, taking advantage of a rare day off. I also had plans to go with a good friend to the Saratoga Race Course on Sunday, so I needed to get my Saturn Ion Cardachrome cleaned…
