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.

Read MoreI survived Hurricane Irene… so far… how are you doing?
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…

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…

In the early 1960’s, many bars and taverns had a special video film player called a Scopitone. With the Scopitone, a person could drop a few coins in a slot, and instead of just hearing the latest pop song – he could also watch the artist sing the song as part of a promotional film.…

Man what a long day, I could use a bit of a breather. A good game of competitive team trivia at Brown’s should take my mind off of my troubles. Gotta check the mailbox first. Ah, let’s see… bills – I paid that one, bills – I paid that one, notice to remind me of…
