Yawn. What time is it? (checks watch) Oh, come on. It’s too early. Gotta go back for another 40 winks. Nope. Let’s get moving. Blog post won’t write itself. This is Chuck-powered, not AI-powered. 2025 had its ups and downs, for sure. Near the end of the year, however, it turned into a chaotic mess.…
Read MoreChuck’s Photo Moments of 2025
And finally, my last blog post of the year … a retrospective of my adventures with my camera gear. Shots taken both with film and with digital. Experimental and standard. Award winners and personal favorites. And all the blog posts created when I created these images. Enjoy.
Read MoreChuck’s best blog moments of 2025
It’s that time of year again. One blog post for my best photos of 2025, one blog post for the best blog moments of 2025. And let’s start with this one from January, where I planned and planned and planned for a photo capture of the sun as it peeks through the 42nd Street New…
Read MoreA reclaimed thermometer art project
During the post-Thanksgiving shopping weekend, one of my friends alerted everyone on Facebook to his warehouse sale. It’s the kind of pop-up where you go through a warehouse, maybe you find furniture or shelving or antiques or some other bric-a-brac. He’s a good guy, I figured there might be something worth checking out. I eventually…
Read MoreThe Latch Hook Covered Bridge project as of November 28, 2025 – NOW IT’S DONE!
Remember that covered bridge latch hook project i worked on for the better part of a year? You know … this one?? Technically, all the stitching and hooking and yarning that took all year is complete. But I still had to take care of one small feature. I had to reinforce the sides. And that…

Hi everybody, hope you had a good holiday this week, and are ready to face the world. I’m staying inside today – there’s plenty of snow outside and I don’t feel like chancing a trip on the slippery streets. So I’ll stay in and blog about this week’s great articles and photos on my personal…
Read MoreMy new Secret Santa tradition
Years ago, I participated in the Reddit worldwide Secret Santa gift exchange. In fact, I have two certificates from the Guinness Book of World Records for participating in the world’s largest Secret Santa exchange – and then surpassing that total one year later. But Reddit eventually ended the Secret Santa subreddit, and although I enjoyed…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: The Christmas song that also doubles as a recipe
It’s December 25, and I’m positive there’s Christmas music playing in the background as you open up your gifts. Probably the usual songs – probably the usual artists … Let me introduce you to a new Christmas song. This is Paul Kelly, an accomplished Australian singer-songwriter with many hits to his credit Down Under. And…
Read MoreThe Christmas cards I received in 2025
I’m sure you’ve received plenty of holiday cards this year. Cards from family, cards from friends, cards from that special someone in your life. I’ve received plenty of cards as well. And I’d like to share the holiday sentiment from those cards with all of you. Let’s see … here’s a nice one. “Dear Chuck,…
Read MoreWait, some of the redacted Epstein files can be UNREDACTED??
This is why I love the Mastodon social media network. I’m bringing you to this website, where someone actually figured out that SOME of the Epstein files – you know, the ones that apparently contain nothing but big black horizontal lines throughout them – can possibly have those lines removed, revealing the text underneath.
