I know, I know, you’re getting sick of these “swimming in the pond” shots. But I’m not getting sick of trying to get an image with this infrared Aerochrome film. So last week, I caught this picture in Washington Park – two geese and three little goslings (no, I don’t know if the little ones’…

Paul Bunyan says, “C’mere.”
This was one of my shots that I’m contemplating putting in the “short pile” for competition season. This is one of my Aerochrome photos, and it was taken in Lake George at the Magic Forest amusement park. I think this is that mold of Paul Bunyan that’s appeared from time to time across the country;…

Vivaldi’s Pond
It’s Sunday morning. Any Sunday morning. I look outside my window. The weather is cold and miserable. It’s windy and it’s snowing. It’s overcast and humid. It’s rainy and drizzly. And I know what that means. No matter what the weather, I have to go to that spot and photograph again. I don’t care if…

It’s one of those mornings when I want to get up, go outside, take a deep breath of clean air – and then run back into the house, saying, “Good Lord in the sky, it’s freakin’ freezing outside!!” Yeah. 41 degrees this morning. In late May. Well, if I’m going to stay indoors until the…

The Pennsylvania trip yesterday was a lot of fun. I did get a chance to drive through some beautiful, bucolic, pastoral locations, and on the recommendation of one of my closest friends, I was directed to look for a certain barn. “This would be a great barn for your photo competitions,” she said to me. …

A little scrapple in the morning
Yesterday I did a road trip to south central Pennsylvania – it was a combination “photo day” and “getaway day” and “pickup day” (I acquired a super-swank Dream Window frame that was too delicate to ship). Before I left the region, I stopped at a local grocery store and purchased a few regional foods –…
Read MoreWatery waterfowl: or, “A Pair o’ Dux”
Sunday morning. I should be sleeping right now. I should be rolling over and slapping the alarm clock for daring to wake me up on a day of rest. And yet, I’m driving over to Washington Park. For some reason, this warm weather has drawn several waterfowl to the lake at Washington Park – ducks…

This is a mixture of K-Chuck Radio and Public Broadcasting Service mash-up clips, as crafted by PBS Digital Studios. And in watching them, I’m reminded of ancient times… in the years of B.C. (Before Cable), when our children’s programming involved watching WMHT and being entertained and educated at the same time. So when you click…

Capturing Blue Ridge Falls
I love photographing waterfalls. Whether they’re slow little cascade trickles, or mighty power-generating behemoths, I enjoy capturing them on film and in digital. Yesterday, I was in the Adirondacks, looking for some photography subjects for an upcoming “5/15/15” gallery show for the PhotoCenter of Troy (all photos must be taken in the palindromic date of…

It was the spring of 1985, and a few friends and I left our Hamilton College dormitories to travel to Riverside Mall in Utica … for the sole purpose of watching the next installment of the Mad Max film series. That film was Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, and it was a credible follow-up to the…
