No, you didn’t miss an update. I didn’t think my schedule would allow me to recap the entire twelve-week trivia tournament, so I didn’t bother to recap Game 1. And when I arrived at Graney’s Stout, I had players from at least three different trivia teams say to me, “Where was the blog last week? …

Just received word from BUILT 2016…
So how about some good news? Yeah. Good news would certainly be good news. I just heard from Historic Albany Foundation that my three submitted artworks have been accepted into the annual art auction and charity event, BUILT: Albany’s Architecture Through Artists’ Eyes. And this year, in partnership with the Breathing Lights art project, BUILT…

Raskolnikov’s take on the Boreas Ponds
I’m still feeling the tightness in my hamstrings, and maybe it’s because I’m completely out of shape. That happens. I wasn’t built for speed. And when I traveled to the Boreas Ponds Tract last Monday, I over-estimated how much hiking was necessary to get from the parking lot to the destination – and from the…
Read MoreThe rarest Three Stooges films ever…
I grew up with the Three Stooges. As a kid, I watched Three Stooges movies at 7:00 a.m. on WTEN as part of a “Popeye and the Three Stooges” show, which would lead into Commander Ralph Vartigian and the Good Ship News. In later years, I would watch Three Stooges marathons on WSBK, when the…

The journey to the Boreas Ponds
At this stage in my life, I know there’s no way I could successfully hike up any of those Adirondack High Peaks. But with the recent opening of the Boreas Ponds tract in the Adirondacks, I have the opportunity to photograph the High Peaks from a beautiful, secluded spot. And I might even be able…

Nothing here… This piece is nice, but there’s no place to park … Private property, the no trespassing sign is nice and clear… Oh look, there’s the Hollywood Drive-In at Averill Park. Not…

The flag at Glass Lake
Three months ago, I tested out a new Russian super-telephoto lens, the MC MTO-1100, on my Nikon Df. And although the results were okay, I couldn’t remove the lens from the camera without taking the entire lens assembly apart. Nertz. On Sunday, after Allen at CameraWorks repaired the Russian lens, I tested it out one…

Braking for beauty
Yesterday, I took some time to photograph the Adirondacks. Nothing major, just a little drive through various locations that I’ve photographed in the past, hoping to capture them as the foliage changes. Yes, I’m a sucker for foliage. But I’m also a sucker for “tiny beauty.” You know, that moment when you’ve photographed something big…
Read MoreDonald Trump: Apologies that aren’t apologies
Yesterday, a videotape of Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump surfaced – a videotape that shows the business magnate using coarse, repulsive and misogynistic language towards women. The comments – made in 2005, while Trump was riding with Billy Bush on an Access Hollywood van en route to Trump’s Days of Our Lives cameo appearance –…

You never forget your first time…
And for me, my first time was July 23, 2009. Yeah, it was later than most people’s “first times” but hey… I wasn’t sure I would enjoy it. Let me explain. I’ve been through several social media platforms in my lifetime, and many of them have either held great success, or were complete abject failures. …
