I don’t care if I’m in the minority on this… but it needs to be said. I love the Star Wars movies, and have enjoyed them ever since I saw the first film in 1977 at the old Cine 1-2-3-4-5-6 behind Northway Mall. Yes, I wished I could have been part of the series –…

K-Chuck Radio: These guys were really on American Bandstand?!? Really??
Ah, American Bandstand. We’re going hopping, we’re going hopping today… For over 30 years, this show has entertained teenagers, brought today’s hottest rock and pop stars onstage, and has showcased the newest dance moves. I could even argue that it, along with Candid Camera, was one of the earliest “reality TV shows,” in that we…

It’s a beautiful, cloudless night. I’m sitting by the shores of a quiet lake in the Adirondacks, my camera aimed at the slate-black night sky. The plan this evening is to capture a series of images of the stars as they reflect off the shimmering lake below. Just something to experiment with, nothing major. I’ve…
Read MoreAlbany’s Trinity Church rises again…
After I posted my photograph series chronicling the demolition of Trinity Church, I received an e-mail from William Leue. He wanted to rebuild the Trinity Church, and to get the measurements and sizes and colorings and shapes perfectly accurate, he wanted to use my photographs from my flickr site.

It has been touch and go all weekend. Was Hurricane Irene going to ruin my trip to the New York State Fair last Saturday? It didn’t. But Sunday was another story. My heart and prayers go out to all my friends who went through the worst that Tropical Storm Irene dished out. Some of my…
Read MoreWhen “Dirty Dancing” First Played in Albany
Every time the Times Union promotes a movie night under the stars – and this one is coming up this Tuesday downtown in Albany – I remember that films – in this case, Dirty Dancing – once appeared on motion picture screens around the Capital District. And that at the time, you saw the films…
Read MoreLodge’s, Llamas, Agfa-Ansco and other fun things at the New York State Fair
This just in. 5:00 a.m. is an ungodly hour to hit the road for the New York State Fair. However, it’s the best time to go – especially on a day when EVERYBODY’s going to Saratoga for Travers Day. Good. You guys all go fight for parking and lose your money there. I’ll go in…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: A Weather-Related Playlist
So let’s see here… supposedly we’ve got a massive hurricane or tropical storm a’comin’ our way. Now, we do live between two rivers and a mountain range, which can cause any amount of confusion in the meteorological category. So, on this very special edition of K-Chuck Radio, I have pulled out some of the stormiest…
Read MoreThe Theft of the B’s
Daniel Berman, he of the Fussy Little Blog, tweeted recently about this weekend being UAlbany’s Freshman move-in day. Ah, I recall move-in days. The roads in front of every dorm were filled with station wagons and moving trucks at dear old Hamilton College. And just as quickly as the day started, students were “moved in”…
