I’ve been trying and trying and TRYING to get my slitscan photos working properly. So much so, that I’ve developed a small testing routine. Every Sunday whenever possible, I drive up to Saratoga Casino and Raceway – that’s what THEY call it, it’s still “Saratoga Harness” to me – and I swap information with Dave…

A celebration of Coney Island history
Part of me wishes I was born a hundred years ago, so that I could have enjoyed the legacy of fun in Coney Island. Sand and shore, amusement rides and carnival performers. While the legendary parks of Coney Island are no longer around, there are still some remnants of those glory years – including the…
Read MoreThe Candy Crush Saga addiction
There’s a classic episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation called “The Game,” in which the crew of the Enterprise becomes addicted to a mind-controlling electronic game. As with most Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes, at least one character discovers an immunity to the threat (in this case, it’s Lt. Data) and the crew…
Read MoreBack to Boston this July
It’s an important event for me, it’s part of my photographic cycle and it’s a chance to honor someone who gave so much to his community, and for his community to give back to him. It’s the Louis Saunders Memorial Basketball Tournament in Boston. The tournament features some of the best basketball talent, all battling…
Read More“The ball’s coming straight at us!”
It took four fill-ups at my local Hess gas stations, plus purchasing a 24-pack of Diet Pepsi, but I received my prize. My “prize,” for sending in the receipts from those four fill-ups and for the 24-pack of Diet Pepsi, were two free New York Yankees tickets. Not bad. Friday, April 26, Yankees versus Toronto,…

If you’re a country music fan and you can’t name three George Jones songs, you aren’t a true country music fan. George Jones lived country music, every high and low, every triumph and heartache. And today, he took the keys to his John Deere riding mower, and rode off to glory. So on today’s edition…
Read MoreAre my photos regional-worthy?
I’m not going to lie. I definitely enjoy entering my photos into competition. And I’ve had my share of success in doing so. Last year wasn’t as great as it could have been, but that means that I’ll try harder this year. But despite all my attempts to pick up wins at Altamont and at…
Read More“Dare” by The Human League is an Album I Want To Be Buried With
Back in November 2011, I added Heaven 17’s “Penthouse and Pavement” (UK vinyl version) to my musical afterlife playlist. Today, I want to add another classic 80’s synth-pop band to the coffin collection. That, of course, is the album “Dare” by The Human League. I first discovered The Human League back in 1981, when I…
Read More“pop up” – the NBC Saturday morning “how to read” TV show!
I cannot believe that I found this clip. Even better – I found the entire 18-episode run of this series. Back in 1970, NBC had the decent Saturday morning cartoon lineup – heck, I could watch the Bugaloos and H.R. Pufnstuf all day and be happy. Now here’s the waycool thing. During the commercial breaks,…
Read MoreDoes Josiah Turner have a chance?
What can I tell you about Josiah Turner? He played for one season at the University of Arizona, then later signed in 2013 with the National Basketball League of Canada’s Halifax Rainmen. He was later acquired by another team in the NBL, the Summerside Storm, and led the Prince Edward Island crew to the championship…
