Caption Time: Jack Daniel would be proud.
Haven’t done one of these in a while. This morning, I was going through my archives and I found this picture I took at Americade 2009 in Lake George. I think I still had my old Nikon D70 when I shot this photo. Have at it, people. Give me a good caption for this old…
Read MoreDucks in a swimming pool
Sometimes you have to be in the right place… at the right time… with the right gear… to capture the right moment. Which happened last Saturday. There they were. A pair of wayward waterfowl enjoying the comfort of a backyard swimming pool. I took some pictures… and then, just for a lark, I started filming.…
Read MoreTesting the “Modern-Day Warrior” camera
Okay. I’ve “Frankensteined” three different Kodak Vest Pocket Autographic 127 shooters into the shooter that I currently have nicknamed my “Modern-Day Warrior” 127 camera. Now comes the test that determines whether this camera becomes a “shooter” or a “dust-gatherer.” And the only way to test it – is to take some pictures. I put a…
Read MoreThe stairwell closet
When I moved into my apartment in the Town and Village three years ago, one of the advertised perks of the apartment was that it had a small washer-dryer in a stairwell closet. Now it was great to have my own washer and dryer that came with the apartment – well, when I say it…

There are moments in my life where I can’t believe how things have turned out. You’ve read my blog and you know many of them, both the good and the bad. You know when I’ve been happy, and you know when I’ve been somber. Today I can be happy. This is the first day of…
Read MoreReturning my diploma, for all the right reasons.
Every so often, I get this urge to downsize my life. Which, for some odd reason, is why I drove to my college alma mater, Hamilton College, last night. Background. In 1985, after four years of study and struggle, of challenges and character, I received my college diploma from Hamilton’s president at the time, J.…
Read MoreJohn 11:35. “Jesus wept.”
This morning, I went over to St. Patrick’s Church – or what’s left of it. I got there just in time to see the big claw crane tear the corners off the bell tower. I shot it with my little Nikon Coolpix, as well as with some black and white film that will be processed…
Read MoreTime Warner Cable does a nice … I guess.
I suppose it’s a fait accompli to gripe and kvetch about Time Warner Cable. The rates go up almost every other month. You can set your sundial to the time when they’ll show up for an installation. And they rival the post office in trying to upsell you on their various packages and offerings. Well,…
