If you’re a late riser today, by the time you read this, I’ll be on my way to Syracuse to see how my artworks did at the New York State Fair’s photography competition. Fingers crossed. Toes crossed. Eyes crossed. Which is going to make it a wee difficult to drive to Syracuse. 😀 Anyways, before…

Read MoreAltamont in Redscale
Over the years, I’ve acquired various film stocks that, for one reason or another, I just don’t use. To the point where if I ever wanted to employ them in standard photography, well, the stock just doesn’t stand up to the efforts. Such was the case when I acquired a pack of Kodak Vericolor 120…

Read MoreAltamont Fair results, 2021 edition.
This is the eleventh time I’ve entered images in the Altamont Fair’s photography competition.

Read MoreMy 2021 entries for the Altamont Fair are…
I first entered the Altamont Fair’s photography competition in 2009. I didn’t pick up my first ribbon until 2011, and it took a sheep photo in 2012 to gain my first blue silk.

About three years ago, I did a touristy trip through central Vermont, and photographed seven different bridges within a short travel span. Here’s the blog link with those pictures. Yesterday, I drove to Bennington, Vermont, where I know of a few…
Read MoreJon Taffer is a blowhard. Pass it on.
I used to enjoy watching Bar Rescue, the reality TV series in which bar consultant Jon Taffer visits various failing taverns and bars across the country and converts them into successful eateries. Notice that I said “used to enjoy.” Because here’s the thing. Most of the episodes featured Taffer yelling at bar owners about the…

So today is a big day for me. It’s “Drop-Off Day,” where I take my four designated artworks to the Altamont Fair for their photo competition. All four images are currently in my car, waiting me to drive over to Altamont and drop everything off. But I can’t drive over there until I take care…
