Returning to my polar panoramic roots
Last year, I entered this photograph in the Cohoes photo competition, in which a prize was awarded for the best picture of Cohoes Falls. At the time, I only had 72 hours to put something together from start to finish, and I probably over-rushed my plans. Which is why I achieved this picture – but…
Read MoreNo turning back now.
It’s Saturday evening and I received a phone call. It was the framing department at AC Moore; the custom-cut matte I purchased was ready and I could pick it up at any time.

Fans of the legendary rock band KISS have been used to bassist Gene Simmons’ massive marketing of the KISS logo and facial makeup imagery for decades. If you could slap a picture of Gene, Paul, Ace and Peter on the front of ANYTHING, and pay Gene Simmons some money for doing so, then it happens.…
