Read MoreOscar’s Hope for the Win
Two of my most successful photography creations were a mixture of B&W and color photography, capturing two images in one take. In 2011, I packed very old Ansco Pan 70mm film and AGFA Vista color print film into a vintage 616 camera, the AGFA Chief, and created The AGFA Bridge Over Ansco Lake. Prior to…
Read MoreThe Latch Hook Covered Bridge project as of September 3, 2025
Yesterday, I dropped off my previous latch hook rug, A Bicolor Sunflower, to the Big Es New England Center for the 2025 Big E. Apparently the previous category for latched hook rugs was only available for youth; now it’s available for all. And if I’m thinking about entering future latched hook rug projects at locales…
Read MoreSpider-Man’s first live-action TV run was on PBS.
Who doesn’t love Spider-Man? The legendary web-slinger with a heart of gold and a soul of angst, filled with love and loss. Let’s face it – Spider-Man’s 50+ year long comic book arc is the stuff of legend. And, of course, there were many different movie and television Spider-Man projects. A slew of wildly popular…
Read MoreThe 29-day deployment: How Donald Trump fucks over the National Guard
Donald Trump is a cheapskate. Plain and simple. Well, he’s about fifteen other things – a rapist, a con man, a racist, for starters – but most know him as someone who would find any way to underpay his contractors, while at the same time overcharging anyone who needs HIS buildings or services. Case in…
Read MoreThe Union Bumblebee
He knew his assignment. It was the same assignment for his entire life. Fly out from the hive, jump from plant to plant, bringing pollen from one stalk to the next. And on the way back, take a little nectar to make some honey. It’s a union thing. He was in the International Order of…

Good Saturday morning to you all. Just another fun day here, and by “fun day” I mean that it’s time to recap what’s been going on with the great bloggers and writers and photographers and thinkers on my personal blogroll. Enjoy! Oh, by the way, going forward, if any of my people on the blogroll…
Read MoreThe chisel-brains at Destination Nissan in Albany are harassing me again.
Car dealerships apparently don’t take “get lost” for an answer. Two years ago, Destination Kia (which apparently is now Destination Nissan) contacted me about purchasing my Nissan Sentra. Yep, the Nissan Sentra I never owned, never bought, never leased, and never got within 25 feet of. I contacted them, they apologized, they said they would…
Read MoreThe New York State Fair Film Shots, 2025 Edition
I have several traditions when visiting the New York State Fair. These are important traditions. They must be upheld when possible. Oh, and one very important goal. I must take fair photos with one of my traveling film cameras, which will allow me to re-experience the Fair weeks afterward when the film negatives arrive. This…
Read MoreThe Sister Mary Elephant of trivia hosting
Background. A couple of months ago, my friend Ed asked if there was any way that I could substitute for him as a trivia host for a few games this summer. I’ve played trivia for many years, but I hadn’t gone over to the hosting side – this would be an entirely new experience. No…
