If Mike D’Antoni quits the New York Knicks… why not hire Micheal Ray Richardson as his replacement?
Okay, wasn’t it a few short weeks ago that everybody was heralding the New York Knicks as the new team to be reckoned with in the NBA – oh yeah, Jeremy Lin and Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudamire and Tyson Chandler … oh yeah, the Knicks are going to win it all, bay bee… Yeah,…
Read MoreRecreating The Prokudin-Gorskii Discipline: or, how I shot color images with black-and-white film
This guy was so far ahead of his time, that it would be the equivalent of Leonardo DaVinci creating the iPad. Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii was a Russian photographer who, in the early years of the 20th century, found a way to create color images from monochromatic photography. He would expose three images on glass photographic…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: 70’s love songs for a friend who’s getting married today…
I’m breaking my long-standing taboo of participating in wedding photography. I don’t need to deal with angry bridezillas and even angrier groomzillas. No. I don’t even want to deal with the Aunt Penelope-zilla who came all the way from Ypsilanti, Michigan to see her niece finally tie the knot, even though she thinks the groom…
Read MoreMy bracket is filled out… and I know you didn’t pick my finalists…
Last night, I downloaded my bracket from NCAA.com. I looked over everything – every team, every permutation, every possible matchup. I knew that the top four seeds wouldn’t survive game after game – that there were upsets to be upsetted. For sure. But, one by one, I filled in my bracket. And I’m pretty sure…

I’m still not used to it, and although it’s not a big deal to a lot of people, it’s still kind of a big deal to me. I live in the blessed Town and Village of Green Island. I say “blessed” because the electricity is provided by the Green Island Power Authority, an autonomous power…
Read MoreSo it really IS Monopoly money up in Canada…
After my photography excursion at Saints’ Rest Beach in New Brunswick last Monday, I drove back to the United States. But when I say “drove,” it included driving for about an hour in soaking wet socks and shoes. Now, “Smart Chuck” would have packed five changes of clothes for a three-day trip. However, “Smart Chuck”…
Read MoreIs it true that Jim Boeheim played with miners years ago? YES IT IS!!
I am not lying to you. Not one drop. It’s something that Jim Boeheim never talks about… but it’s part of his history. Long before the Syracuse University men’s basketball head coach took the Orange to numerous NCAA basketball tournaments – including one tournament win – he spent five years playing with miners.
