I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I am a Pittsburgh Steelers fan through and through. Which automatically means that I detest the Cleveland Browns, the Baltimore Ravens, any team in the AFC East, the Dallas Cowboys, the Green Bay Packers, and any team that DARES to sign Tim Tebow to their roster.…

Rutland the Goat
I don’t know anything about the parentage or breeding or background for this little goat. He was in a pen at the Vermont State Fair, along with a few other baby goats. He probably had no idea that he was being photographed. I don’t think that goats have a concept of what a camera is.…

Results of the 2014 Big E Photo Competition
Rough day yesterday. Just absolutely rough. Suffice it to say that I screwed some stuff up that shouldn’t have been screwed up in the first place. Yes, Chuck messes up in life. So I’m in a bit of a self-loathing, Chuck-hating mood right now… And I need something, anything, to change my outlook. Well, I…
Read MoreNo nights off…
“No Nights Off” is the mantra of the 2014-15 National Basketball League of Canada basketball season. From November to about mid-April, it’s also my mantra. For the fourth consecutive year, I’ll take care of maintaining statistics and player relations with the NBL. This means I have to make sure that every player on the league’s…
Read MoreThe day George Karl kicked a field goal
It’s January 2, 1991, and the Albany Patroons are hosting the Oklahoma City Cavalry at the Knickerbocker Arena (now known as the Times Union Center). Being a referee in the Continental Basketball Association can be as dangerous as shouting “Go Seminoles” at the University of Miami. Besides putting up with such original verbal taunts as…

The 75,000 Milestone
It happened just as I pulled off I-787 toward downtown Albany yesterday. And despite breaking every single rule of using a cell phone in a car, I had to take a picture of the moment. Because if I didn’t capture that moment right then and there… I’d never capture it. And at approximately 8:30 in…
Read MoreBest of our TU Community Blogs, September 18, 2014: Ten for Thursday
No, your eyes do not deceive you. The feature is back. And I’m proud to bring it back. For those of you who are new to my blog, let me fill you in on the backstory. A few years ago, I took one day a week out of my blog to showcase ten of my…
Read MoreAdrian Peterson, the switch, and his (finally) deactivation
I’ve followed the recent stories involving the NFL and player actions within with great interest and concern. I cringed when I saw the footage of Ray Rice dragging his cold-cocked fiancee out of an elevator; and I almost threw up when I saw the OTHER footage where he actually slugged her IN the elevator. Then…

Blow out another candle of our memories…
There it was. A perfect, partly cloudy, warm Sunday afternoon. Hoffman’s Playland was packed, there were cars in auxiliary lots and across the street; lines of excited riders were queued up at the Ferris wheel and the roller coaster and the merry-go-round. It was Hoffman’s Playland’s final day of operation. And I needed to get…

Orange County Speedway 2014 “Eve of Destruction” pics
Last year, daredevil stuntman Rocky Hardcore, whose death-defying car crashes have made him a star at Lebanon Valley Speedway’s “Eve of Destruction” stunt shows, contacted me about photographing his show at the upcoming Orange County Fair Speedway’s “Eve of Destruction” event. I said I would do it. I mean, I’ve photographed him for three consecutive…
