Jakeila Phillips puts up with racism more often than she should. She lives in Utica, and she’s dealt with idiots who use the N-word and a few other choice expletives in her general vicinity. Last week, she had the good fortune to record one of these chuds in action. And she posted it on her…
Read MoreWould you like to help be part of WPTR’s FM signal?
As you might know from reading this blog, I am a fan of the reborn WPTR. On Friday nights, I can enjoy the Chip Ordway Record Show (by the way, why aren’t you listening to the Chip Ordway Record Show?), and there are other community-themed shows throughout the week. But the only ways I can…
Read MoreA pro golf tournament, sponsored by The Lincoln Project and Meidas Touch…
If you want to see some seriously VICIOUS and ON-POINT anti-Trump videos, you only need to sign up to the Twitter feeds of Medias Touch, a progressive anti-Trump PAC, and The Lincoln Project, a conservative anti-Trump organization. I mean, these potential shorts aren’t just bringing straight fire. They’re downright nuclear. Example. Putin paid a bounty…

Hey everybody, hope all of you are having a great weekend, and that maybe you’ll have some time to get some sunshine. I think we all need some sunshine at this point. Maybe some lollipops and rainbows as well. And everything else that Lesley Gore sings about. So here’s how it works. I step aside…
Read MoreSo I just heard from the Big E’s Photo Competition…
A little background. Last week, I had an opportunity to photograph a high school graduation ceremony at the Jericho Drive-In in Glenmont. This would be their first one with fireworks, so I positioned my camera (my Nikon Df) outside the neon marquee. And lo and behold, fireworks exploded in the air. I got the fireworks,…
Read MoreThe day they tore our college’s statue down…
It was a moment that will be forever sealed in my memory. It changed my thoughts about college and campus life and standing up for a cause. And while part of me is still disturbed about why the statue was removed, I still have trouble coming to any sort of understanding why this had to…
Read MoreThe NBL Canada will return for Season 10 this December!
I need glimmers of hope in this COVID-19 darkness. And since Canada seems to have gotten its act together in terms of testing and treatment (a helluva more than the US has, amirite?), the teams of the National Basketball League of Canada will commence their 2020-21 season in December. Here’s the league’s press release. The…
Read MoreHoly shit, Richard Pryor had a variety TV series and they let him air THIS??
There are so many TV shows in broadcast history that make you wonder, “If they only did this, or if they only did that, it would be a success. But why they did this instead, makes me wonder.” Such is the case with the 1977 variety TV series The Richard Pryor Show. This is 1977. …

My entries into the 2020 Big E Photography Competition
Although almost every one of my “Competition Season” locales has cancelled for 2020, I was able to submit some digital images to the Washington State Fair for their event, which will most likely take place in September. As for the Big E … somehow they’re still planning on operating in September. And, they’re accepting entries…
Read MorePhotoCenter of the Capital District featured in The Gallery
I enjoy my association with the Photo Center of the Capital District. They are a great repository for information about photography, and they also host various shows and gallery events throughout the year. And last week, the Photo Center was featured in the YouTube video show The Gallery. I realize that today is a short…
