Got this image last week at Lebanon Valley Speedway’s “Eve of Destruction.” You know the drill. Photo by Chuck Miller. Caption by you. If you want to add some crack about Flo or the Gecko or the Cavemen or Mayhem or whatnot… go for it.

You’ll have to wait for my fireworks photos.
I just want to give everyone a head’s-up … if you’re coming to my blog this morning, looking for some fireworks photos from the Empire State Plaza… You’ll have to wait a day or two. But I promise… it’ll be worth the wait. This was my fifth time photographing the fireworks at the Plaza, and…

Marcie Pry – you might know her as “Short Temper” from the Hellions of Troy Roller Derby team, as well as being one of the Roller Derby bloggers – asked me a question that, for all intents and purposes, I didn’t feel comfortable expanding on in a blog comment. Here’s her original question, which was…
Read MoreDefending Tom Cruise on his 50th birthday
Currently Tom Cruise is working in Iceland on a new science fiction movie; an interpretation of the graphic novel Oblivion. The film should hit our movie screens next year. Today’s also his 50th birthday, so “Happy Birthday” to him. And I’m sure that, even as a dedicated professional actor, his mind is thousands of miles…

No, I’m not doing my best John Belushi impersonation, and I’m not mis-reciting the name of a 1970 motion picture epic. Let me explain. Two years ago, I received a very special camera gift from my fellow blogger Teri Conroy. It was a Rolleiflex Automat MX twin-lens reflex camera, and using it allowed me to…
Read MoreMy St-Liboire Experiment gets screwed up!
As you may have heard from my previous blog posts, I really never learned to speak a second language. I did take French for about four months at Abington High School (School #11 of “The Twelve”), and then I took two years of introductory French at Hamilton College. Currently I do freelance work for the…
Read MoreCasting a line on a hot, hot day
These long hot weekends are really taking a toll on me. Yes, it’s great to have these scorching, cloud-sparsed days, but man can we mix in at least one summer shower? That being said, I decided to take my camera gear to the Cohoes Falls for a few photos. In the summer, one can actually…

The other afternoon, I had lunch at a small luncheonette/diner in downtown Albany, a place called Winding Brooks. It’s a good place, it has a buffet and the prices are reasonable. Get your food quickly, pay for everything, and you’re outside to enjoy the afternoon sunshine in nothing flat. The buffet table that day included…
Read MorePhantogram helps set a Guinness World Record!
You gotta love the success that Phantogram, our favorite Saratoga Springs electronica duo, have achieved over the years. Their music has been played on MTV, they’ve appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon TV shows, and now they’re part of a Guinness World Record. And it’s because of their “special guests”…
Read MoreKeeping my promise … and then some.
This is the fourth year of the Albany City School District Hall of Fame inductions. Last year, I became the first Street Academy of Albany / Harriet Gibbons High School student to earn enshrinement, a moment for which I will be eternally grateful. But myself getting in the Hall means nothing, unless I can find…
