The Weave: A New Photography Experiment
My buddy Jeremy McNamara recently sent me this picture, an artwork created by South Korean photographer Seung Hoon Park. “Can you figure out how this was done?” he asked me. Impressive… isn’t it?

Read MoreThe Cohoes Falls: How to go from idea to photo entry in 72 hours flat!
I wasn’t planning on entering any more competitions this year. Yes, I still have to wait for the results of the Big E, and I did submit a photo to the St. Agnes Cemetery photo contest, but that was about it. That was until Ron LaBarr sent me an e-mail. Ron plays on the trivia…

George “Shadow” Morton produced some very stirring and compelling pop and rock songs of the 1960’s. And if I gave you a K-Chuck Radio show last week about Phil Spector’s pop productions, and if I gave you one a few weeks ago about Joe Meek’s sonic symphonies, then how could I leave out the third…

Last year, I photographed several ghost signs – faded brickads that still promote long-ago products – throughout the Capital District, and later wrote an art book to chronicle them.
