Back in the summer, I had a photo shoot up at the Corinth Reservoir, one of the darkest skies in the Capital District. I captured the Milky Way during a meteor shower … and one of the meteors photo-bombed my Milky Way image. Specifically … this little capture. I had several prints produced by my…
Read MoreSo those horns aren’t sung to the lyrics of “John Cena Sucks” after all??
So apparently wrestler John Cena is on his farewell tour. He’s scheduled to wrestle one more match – against a top WWE star named Gunther – and then Cena will hang up his wrestling sneakers and put away his jorts. And we won’t hear that classic John Cena intro song ever again. Yeah, that one.…
Read MoreA master print of A CO Railfan’s Dream
I really like this digital-meets-film collage from earlier this year, A CO Railfan’s Dream. This one, to be precise. But I want to do something extra to it. And by “extra” – I have an idea. I purchased some laser printer transparency sheets, which will allow me to use a photocopier or a laser printer…
Read MoreUnless Han shoots first, I’m not going.
I get it. George Lucas created an entire legacy on his 1977 science fiction epic Star Wars. And in that legacy, he expanded on the original film by turning it into the middle part of a nine-film epic saga (renaming the original film Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope), and then spending the better…

Read MoreHudson’s Bay – the TV western about the history of a department store.
The Hudson’s Bay Company has a fascinating history. They were instrumental in the formation and exploration of what would become Canada, and their fur trading ports evolved into a collection of department stores and clothiers throughout the Great White North. And in1959, someone had this great idea to create a television series that placed the…
Read MoreMy Fort Edward panoramic attempt
If I told you I planned a photo composition for the past six years, would you believe me? Well … it’s true. Let me explain. In 2019, I photographed the CPKC Holiday Train as it arrived in Fort Edward, New York. Way back in the day. I even blogged about the experience. And it gave…
Read MoreDePaula Chevrolet removed me … but didn’t “remove” me.
I once had a relationship with DePaula Chevrolet, a relationship that went all the way back to my first car, a 1991 Pontiac 6000. I trusted them to keep my cars maintained, and on occasion I actually purchased a used car or two from them (my 2005 Saturn Ion, my 2014 Chevrolet Cruze). However ……
Read More58 miles on Lightning’s Girl
There are ten types of people in this world. Those who understand binary numbers, and those who don’t. Okay, that’s an old math joke. But it works in this context. Because yesterday – after running some errands, and driving home … I noticed something on my 2017 Chevrolet Volt Premier’s instrument panel. And if I…
Read MoreRemembering the heroes and the villains of World AIDS Day
In 1988, the World Health Organization designated December 1 as World AIDS Day, a day to remember the effects of the AIDS pandemic and the toll it took on human life and perspective. On that day, we take note of the people who perished as victims of an insidious virus that destroyed our ability to…
