It takes something extra-special to make an old, rusted drive-in sign dance once again. Check out today’s blog post and see how I did it.

Have fun with “Shadow Selfies”
Every so often, someone will go on some self-important gripe about selfies. How other people’s selfies are showing up on that person’s Facebook feed, and it annoys them to no end. Don’t get me wrong. I’ve written about selfies that were taken in inappropriate locations, such as on a cadaver table. But I’m getting tired…
Read MorePlease remember these names on this Memorial Day 2014
None of the six names I list below ever fought in a war. None of the six names I list below ever served their country. All six of the names I list below were sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, whose lives were cut short by no other reason than they were on the mind…
Read MoreThe Cohoes Falls in a purple-rainbow cast
I’ve been playing with this LomoChrome Purple film now and again. LomoChrome Purple is designed to be shot with a standard 35mm film camera, and it is supposed to replicate the look of infrared film. And if I use different filters on the LomoChrome, it can create dreamlike, surrealistic viewscapes. Yesterday, I took a roll…

Hey spammers, leave the Bucks County Ski Club alone!
Every so often, I will check my blog’s spam filter. On occasion, a good comment can get caught in it. But most of the time, the spam filter is clogged with garbage. Mostly it’s fake blog comments full of hyperlinks for sneakers, sunglasses, knockoff purses and the occasional pharmacological placebo. Yesterday, I picked through my…
Read MoreI know it’s not an abandoned bulldozer…
Earlier this week, I took my camera gear for another trip through the Adirondacks. At this point in time, I’m looking for something to add to my arsenal of photos for competition season. If I find something better than what I currently have available for show, then that’s fantastic. If not… then it’s just a…
Read MoreHarley-Davidson’s warranty voided over patriotism?
David Zien loves his Harley-Davidson motorcycles and he loves his country. His Harley-Davidson chariots have transported him for over four decades, and in 2009, his 1991 Harley FXRT motorcycle achieved over one million miles, earning it enshrinement in a motorcycle museum in Sturgis, S.D. And his current motorcycle, like his previous Harleys, are decorated with…
Read MoreSeeing old wounds with new eyes
Three years ago, I replaced my scratched-up eyeglasses with a new pair, thanks to my new ophthalmologist, Dr. Gesshoo. I know, that’s not her real name, but there’s this thing called HIPAA and I’m not revealing my medical care providers to you on this blog. Nice try. I’ve seen a hundred thousand things in those…
Read MoreEnter the Altamont Fair 2014 Fine Arts competition!
Every year, as the summer arrives, I gather my pictures together for Altamont. I blog about the experiences, about the entries, and eventually about the results. From my first competition in 2009 to last year’s first-place win for The Jumbuck, I’ve blogged about the highs and the lows, the happiness and the heartache, and all…
Read MoreTV’s 10 best fantasy action shows of the 1970’s
I grew up as a child of the 1970’s. My television options were limited, as my broadcast options were in the era of B.C. (Before Cable). Granted, I had to battle with my family to watch certain TV shows – there was no way my young mind could wrap itself around an episode of McMillan…
