It’s Friday night, and I’m really jonesing for some tasty independent fried chicken. And rather than dine on stuff from the colonel, or from that sailor with the anchor tattoos, I chose instead to get some deep-fried chicken from a nearby independent chicken shack in the South End. Trust me. This stuff is so good,…

The Nightowl Radio Show playlist for October 21, 2022
The following is a playlist for the broadcast of the Nightowl Radio Show, a one-hour college radio show on station WHCL-FM. The show can be streamed tonight at 7:00 p.m. Eastern at whcl.org. For tonight’s broadcast, I found original audio commercials and promos for a 1985 charity DJ performance, where I played records for 50…
Read MoreSeveral Solarcan Sunrises on State Street.
A few days ago, I set up a Solarcan Puck passive camera in my neighborhood, and after two days of blaze, I got a really nice image. So let’s expand on that. I asked a friend of mine to place a Solarcan Puck in his sunrise-facing window and leave it there FOR A FEW WEEKS.…
Read MoreI’m skipping Halloween this year. And so should you.
Honestly, I could do what every other person does. I can go to the grocery store and by those “fun size” bagfuls of candies, sit by my door, and wait for the costumed little trick-or-treaters to arrive and shout ‘TRICK OR TREAT” and then I hand off the candies. Lather, rinse, repeat. Not this year.…

For those who are having trouble viewing my stereoscopy photos…
I apologize to you. It was truly not my intention to give you complete headaches in viewing my stereoscopy images from last weekend’s photo shoots.

Read MoreYou are not ready for JOT the Dot.
While Saturday morning cartoons were the best way to survive the weekend – a nice big bowl of Froot Loops and 4 1/2 hours of animation while your parents slept – Sunday morning children’s fare was kinda hit and miss. I shall explain. In many cases, Sunday morning cartoon shows were essentially either Saturday morning…
Read MoreSaratoga Springs in Modern Stereoscopy.
So I fixed an issue from last Saturday’s stereoscopy experiments. I thought I had both of my Nikon Df cameras perfectly calibrated. Nope. The Silver Df was set for sunshine white balance, while the Black Df, for some reason, was tuned to a Kelvin white balance. Which makes sense, I think the last time I…
Read MoreHamilton College in Modern Stereoscopy
Okay. No going back now. I’ve got everything lined up. My dual Nikon Df setup, along with two matching Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D “Nifty Fifty” lenses. And all I need to do is find a suitable subject or subjects to photograph. You know what? I bet the fall foliage looks swank in Clinton this time of…

With the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train re-starting after a two-year pandemic-infleunced hiatus, I had the opportunity to interview one of the Holiday Train’s most proficient photographers, Neil Zeller. He’s listed on my personal blogroll, and he’s also organizing a photo class that will take several people through various fantastic shooting locations to…
