For a short time, I tried capturing the Saratoga and North Creek Railroad’s crossing over the Sacandaga River. This was my best shot at capturing that iconic image of a train as it chugs over the trestle. It was a nice picture, and I had hoped to improve on it. Unfortunately, by the next year,…
Read MoreWho wants to buy some boobies for $200?
This is hilarious. I understand you can purchase lots of things in the Facebook marketplace, but … seriously, folks … My friend and blog reader Roz posted this on her Facebook page. Apparently this came up in her Facebook Marketplace searches, lo and behold, right in the Clifton Park Garage Sale site. That’s right, folks. …

After the Rain is officially a Work of Art!
Last year, I was very fortunate in that one of my artworks, my infrared photo Infrared Horizon 787 was accepted into the Albany Institute of History and Art’s “Work of Art” show – and the piece eventually sold at that show. So I tried again this year. I was allowed two submissions, so I chose…

This year is the 50th anniversary of the release of the Beatles’ album Abbey Road. A fantastic album, for sure. Full of classic Beatles tracks. After this came the soundtrack to the motion picture Let it Be, and then a series of repackagings from their record label – two greatest hits albums (the “red” and…

I’ve owned my Ukrainian super-ultra-wide film camera, my Krasnogorsk ФT-2 that I’ve nicknamed “Raskolnikov,” for approximately five years.

More 3D tests … and I promise to cut down on the flashing images
Last week, I packed two rolls of Fuji 400 film into my two Nikon EM cameras for another test of my c’est schisse 3D film photography experiment. And before I post these images … I am going to apologize to you, my beloved blog readers, for giving you headaches in past blogs regarding this experiment.…

Wait, the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train stops in Menands this year?
Trust me, I’ve been waiting for this information like it’s white smoke from the chimneys of St. Peter’s Basilica. The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train, an illuminated, decorated locomotive that chugs through North America, announced its continental schedule. And there’s been a change. One that will benefit us Capital Region residents. Normally the train makes two…
Read MoreA good reason to brush your teeth – from the American Dental Association
I may have mentioned in the past that, as a young child, I spent summers at my Grandma Betty’s house in Boston, essentially getting a three-month reprieve from my parents and that toxic family situation. Living in Boston meant that I could watch TV on special non-network channels like WKBG 56 and WSBK 38, both…

Dream Window 23 – The Dazzling Nipper
It’s been a long time between Dream Windows, so it’s nice to get back to creating one. Background. I’ve made nearly two dozen Dream Windows – artworks crafted out of Queen Anne windows nd Tudor windows and old church windows – for nearly a decade now. I made the first one as a therapeutic focus…
