I’ve crafted my previous “Dream Window” creations with a mixture of stained glass and photography. This time around, I’m adding some additional materials to the mix. And it all starts with another Queen Anne-style transom window – this time, a window snagged from Historic Albany Foundation’s parts warehouse.

It’s Saturday night and I’ve been battling this nasty cold for a few days now. AH CHOOO Oh man. Sorry about all that sneeze-snot on the inside of your computer monitor. I’ll get it cleaned up.

Munchies… It’s the middle of the night and I’ve got a bad case of the munchies. Fridge. Leftovers from Brown’s. Leftovers from Elbo Room. Nah. Cupboard.

Read MoreIt’s time for the 2012 Big E
Last year, my three entries for the Eastern States Exposition “Big E” photography competition were nearly bounced from the show on a technicality.

The other day, I received a nice little paycheck from Getty Images for some of my photos. Not enough for a steak dinner, but enough to buy some 120 film at my favorite little camera store, B&H in New York City. I checked online. B&H is closed on all Jewish holidays and on Shabbot, but…

Read MoreSupport the Boy Scouts! Buy some popcorn!!
Last Sunday, I did some shopping at my local home improvement warehouse. Nothing major, just a few household items, a quick purchase or two, and I’m out the door – Right into a troop of Boy Scouts, who were waiting just outside the exit. “Would you like to buy some popcorn and help the Boy…
Read MoreHoney Boo Boo Style!
How many episodes of that Honey Boo Boo show have I ever watched? Probably less than none. How many times have I followed this “Gangnam Style” music video that has been popping up EVV REE WHERE? Maybe i watched it twice. But what if somebody took clips from the Honey Boo Boo show… and mixed…
