Recap. A few months ago, I was sent a video by one of my Facebook friends. A makeup expert from Las Vegas, Kandee Johnson, was contacted by a girl named Kristie Tunick; apparently Tunick had a rare and fatal disease, and only was expected to live maybe three more weeks. Johnson created a video and…

Forget the sign of Aquarius… try “The Age of Aquarius” instead! And let the sunshine in…
Personally, I have no use for horoscopes. The ones printed in the Times Union and the ones that show up on my friends’ Facebook posts are barely fortune cookie platitudes that rarely deviate from “something good is going to happen to you.” Big deal. Do you ever see a horoscope that says, “Today is going…

Read MoreThe Mystery of the J.S. Flood Stained Glass Window
A few days ago, I displayed some photographs on this blog – photographs that were cross-processed by developing slide film as regular film. One of the pictures I posted to the blog was this photo of a stained glass window at the Palace Theater. I remembered the location as a barbershop; however, Carl Johnson (who…
Read MoreWherever you are, Jim McCaslin… thank you
I was thinking about this the other day. Things we do in our lives – the choices we make and the paths we take – eventually take us on new adventures and into new friendships. Such was the case with a friend of mine from the mid-1980’s. You don’t know Jim McCaslin. Let me tell…
Read MoreKodak’s new Easy Share cameras – digital Kodachrome?!?
Okay, let’s get one thing straight right off the bat. There is no more development of Kodachrome film. But what if you were still able to take pictures that looked like Kodachrome shots – albeit digitally? Now I know there’s various plugins for Photoshop and other digital image software suites that can simulate the saturated…
Read MoreChuck Miller and Getty Images? Yes please…
My personal flickr account contains over 2,500 photographs – everything from Kodachrome shots to Premier Basketball League action images. But it was a quiet photograph of a downtown Albany landmark that has earned me a small licensing partnership with – of all organizations – Getty Images. Here’s the background info. Getty Images has partnered with…

While five teams are locked into the tournament finals (Stern Fans, Team Schooled, the Sneaky Petes, Street Academy and the Flabbies), there are still six teams fighting for the available three playoff spots. (NOTE: After further review, the Flabbies are not locked in after all; although it would take a perfect storm to knock them…
Read More“Your photos haven’t arrived yet for the art show…”
Nothing will make a photographer’s heart seize up than hearing that their artworks – which are scheduled to appear in a gallery art show – have not yet arrived at the gallery. It’s one of those nightmare scenarios – the same kind where you dream that you’re late for a test, and you arrive at…
Read MoreDid the Beatles appear in Albany movie theaters BEFORE “A Hard Day’s Night”? Yes they did…
Okay, let’s get something square right now. The Beatles made four theatrical motion pictures during their time together. There was A Hard Day’s Night, there was Help!, there was Yellow Submarine and there was Let It Be. They also made Magical Mystery Tour, but that was for British television. And as far as anyone’s concerned,…
