Last year, the New York Giants’ defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul blew up his hand in a fireworks accident. The hand was severely damaged, and one of his fingers was amputated. That being said, coverage of the fireworks accident and whether Pierre-Paul would suffer any significant career-threatening or career-ending damage to his hand was the talk…

Peanuts in Italian? In French? In Spanish?
I am a big fan of the adventures of Charlie Brown and Snoopy, the classic “Peanuts” characters of Charles M. Schulz. Always loved them, always will. So I was very surprised to find out that someone put together an animated Peanuts series. Wow. I need to find this show. And I did… Unfortunately, I found…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: The Sugarhill Pulse
I recently watched the TV One Unsung episode about the history of the Sugarhill Gang, and during that video I understood that the group – whose classic “Rapper’s Delight” sold 14 million copies and became a worldwide hit – went through the wringers in terms of royalties, creative control, and ultimately losing the rights to…

An achievement for a Dream Window
Dang it. The batteries ran out. I was afraid of this. Two of my Dream Windows, #17 and #18 to be precise, made it to the walls of the Albany Center Gallery satellite art show at the Times Union Home Expo. And the AAA batteries that I installed to power the red arow in the…

He would be 49 today. He would have a wife, a couple of kids, maybe a dog. He would have his own house and run his own business. He would have served his country overseas, doing whatever it took for good. He would be a baseball fan. He would support local causes. Probably participate in…
Read MoreMad Max: Fury Road should get all the Oscars
There, I said it. And I won’t back down from that statement. For all the “prestige” films that have received Oscar nominations this year – that one with Leonardo DiCaprio and a bear, the one with a kidnapped Brie Larson, the one that did this, the one that did that… My money is on a…
Read MoreCaption Time: A stone of purple
I haven’t shot anything with my LomoChrome Purple boutique film of late, and a few weeks ago I wanted to break out a pack of the odd-colored film. LomoChrome Purple is produced by the Lomography film company, and promises to provide breathtaking pastel colors to your photos. And in this case, I had absolutely no…
