I took this photo 12 years ago. It was one of my earliest successful “splitfilm” photos, where I shot two rolls of film in the same camera. Ah, my sweet shot of expired Ansco 616 film against 35mm AGFA Vista color print film, against a murky day at Washington Park in Albany. The photo claimed…
Read MoreAlbany Patroons 114, Lehigh Valley 107 – and how about some 3-D Patroons shots?
My first photography adventures began way back in 2005, when I took my little Nikon D70 with its kit lens to an Albany Patroons game and got some images for my efforts. I learned a lot in those early days. I learned that a camera that could barely achieve an ISO of 1600, with a…
Read MoreHey NCAA, do you know how to spell our college’s name? #LetsGoBlue
Yesterday, I put on my Hamilton College sweatshirt, sat in front of my computer, and simultaneously watched the Hamilton College women’s ice hockey team play Colby in the semifinals of the NESCAC Championships – and flipped back and forth to watch the Hamilton men’s basketball team face off against Montclair State for the first round…

Read MoreIt’s okay to ask for help. There’s no shame in it.
In all honesty, I’m not the neatest person in the world. I’m more of an Oscar than a Felix. But I’m also someone who knows his limitations, and will ask for help when I need it. And sometimes it takes a swift kick in the keister to get me to ask for help. Case in…
Read MorePoker Face isn’t just Columbo, it’s The Fugitive as well!
Let’s get one thing straight. I absolutely LOVE the new Peacock TV series Poker Face. The show features Natasha Lyonne as a person who can instantly tell if someone is telling the truth or lying – and uses that talent to solve crimes. It’s kind of like the old 70’s TV series Columbo, where the…
Read MorePeanuts si, Dilbert no
By now you’ve heard that Scott Adams, creator of the Dilbert cartoon strip, has been dropped by nearly every newspaper that used to run his comic – and was also dropped by his distribution syndicate. See, when you go online and make comments about people of color being “a hate group” from whom Caucasians should…
Read MoreAnd Hamilton College returns to the NCAA Championships!!
Back when I was a student at Hamilton College in the early 1980’s, we were part of the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC), and although we were a powerhouse in men’s basketball, we were prohibited from participating in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament. Why? Well, back then, NESCAC forbade its college members from…
Read MoreIt’s not Lou Reed … and it’s not Jefferson Airplane, either.
So last week, I penned a K-Chuck Radio blog post about artists and bands who use a similar name or nickname as other more famous artists or bands. You know, this blog post. Well, apparently … I missed one. And it’s a doozy. See, there was an Australian garage band in the 1960’s who took…
