By the time you read this, I’ll be on the road to Syracuse. See, today is “Drop-Off Day” for my nine – yep, nine – artworks for the New York State Fair’s competitions.  Six photographs, and three reclaimed wood items.  Wish me luck. But before I hit the road, I wanted to take care of…

Hey everybody, I’m back with another “7 and 7 on Saturday,” a weekly recap of the blog posts that you will enjoy.  Trust me on this. As the formula goes, I list seven blog posts from my old portal, the Albany Times Union, showcasing seven community and independent (non-staff) bloggers.  Then I go to my…

So last Saturday I started a “7 and 7” blog recap – seven blogs from the Times Union’s community blogging team (no staffers) and seven blogs from people on my blogroll that I think you definitely should read and enjoy. And my first run on this last week was a nice success. Lots of positive…

Background.
