Okay, let’s start with the ingredients. This should be simple. Yesterday, my plan was to purchase all these ingredients at the newly-opened Albany Farmer’s Market. Unfortunately, the “Farmer’s Market” did not contain anything that even remotely looked like a true farmer’s market. There were no booths that sold fresh farm cheese, or freshly baked breads.…
Read MoreA Saratoga Stereoscopic Saturday
So here’s the goal. I need seven perfect stereoscopic images of a day at the Saratoga Race Course. It’s a beautiful Saturday, and all I need is my cameras, a tripod, and the mental ability to make it through the 90-degree day. Yeah. I can do this. First things first. Just getting into Saratoga this…

Read MoreI liked Yellowjackets the first time, when it was Lord of the Flies.
Last week, once my Paramount+ streaming service became Paramount+ with Showtime, I started binge-watching one of Showtime’s more popular shows, the horror-thriller Yellowjackets. I’m partway through the show’s second season … but … what in the world is going on here? All right … let’s start right off the bat with the premise. A high…

Man oh man, Competition Season is getting packed like you wouldn’t believe. Normally I just have the five county / state fairs that constitute Competition Season, but this year I’m adding the Capital District Photo Regionals show, as well as a sixth county / state fair somewhere out west. I will reveal that in another…
Read MoreA nice certificate from Austria
Background. Earlier this year, I entered four 3-D images into a 3-D international photo competition. One of the photos, Rejection By Williams, made it into the show. This photo, to be more precise. Yeah, yeah, I know, I know … it’s a photo that glorifies the one time a Lehigh Valley Legends player actually did…
Read MoreLivingston Energy and my successful movie night
Last week, I drove to Crossgates Mall to watch Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Of the five Indiana Jones films, I’d put this at #3 on the list – below Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and above Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and way…
Read MoreA little yellow postcard from Des Moines, 2023 Edition
The fact that I’m even GETTING a postcard from Iowa – after all I went through to get my entries judged – is a miracle. Of the five competitions in which I participate, the Iowa and New York State Fairs offer the “postcards of doom,” my nomenclature for if my photo entries were accepted or…
