Background. Last July, I took some spectacular photographs of the fireworks at the Empire State Plaza. But here’s a little secret. I did not limit myself to using only one camera. Let me explain. Yes, I shot the lion’s share of the incredible fireworks show at the Empire State Plaza with my trusty Nikon Df…
Read More“It shall be a symbol I respect.”
I respect and enjoy the original 12-issue limited comic series (and later graphic novel) (and later movie) (and later TV series) Watchmen. What Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons did with their comic story was nothing short of revolutionary and inspirational. Where else can you take re-interpretations of the old Charlton Comics superheroes and turn them…
Read MoreAre you REALLY a Fox News reporter? Because something seems a bit off here…
Walter Masterson is a New York City-based comedian and satirist. And he’s been having a tremendous amount of fun lately in trolling the far-right. Why, who would suspect a man who’s wearing a button-down shirt and cargo shorts, all festooned with the stars and stripes, of being a provocateur? I mean, have you NEVER heard…

I need to take a deep breath. This is different than any of my other Competition Season entries. See, in the past, I’ve tried entering a big prestige art show. And during that time, I tried to hone my craft. I tried getting my photos in these shows. And each time, they’ve been bounced. Then,…

Good morning everybody. Before I start today’s blogroll recap, I must give a shout-out to blogroll member and all-around good guy Rob Hoffman of The Hoffman Files, whose new book “Blind Spot” is now available for purchase or download on Amazon. Good on you, bro! And after I pen today’s blog post, I have to…
Read MoreOnwardMobility’s taking pre-order information for the new BlackBerry!
It’s 4:00 in the morning, and i just checked my BlackBerry KEYone phone to see if anything happened in the world last night. Couple of e-mails, oh wait… someone sent me a message through the contact info in my blog. Okay, let’s see what’s going on. “Appreciate your postings and viewpoint on the new Blackberry…
Read MoreDo I want to try Cincinnati Skyline Chili?
I’ve been known to add new recipes in my dining experience. When I go on a trip and eat at a local restaurant, I tell the server, “Please recommend your local dish. I didn’t come all the way from Albany to not at least try something from here.” Which is why, although I don’t know…
Read MoreMarjorie Taylor Greene laughs at your dead relatives.
First of all, if I’m writing a blog post about Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Q-GA-14), it isn’t because she introduced some outstanding, groundbreaking, bipartisan legislation in Congress. Nah, she’s never done that. What she HAS done is essentially user her time in office to glorify her position in life. She’s tried to pick fights with…
Read MoreLet’s record an album in quarantine.
I have been a fan of the rock band Dragon for nearly 40 years. It all started when a Melbourne, Australia-based friend shipped me a cassette of their then-current hit “Rain,” along with some of their earlier tracks. A few years alter, I was blessed to interview several of the band members for a Goldmine…
Read MoreWell, I guess you guys like the photo.
Yesterday, I posted this film shot that I took from I-787 of the decrepit, crumbling, give-gallon-Visine-with-a-Murine-chaser eyesore known as Central Warehouse. At the time of the photo, the building’s owner decided to drape the facade with a big American flag. Of course, if you’re riding by and you saw the flag on the side of…
