Here’s the deal. I don’t want you to caption this original picture. This photo was taken at a motel in Bangor, Maine in the winter of I think 2012. This photo was shot with a Lomography Sprocket Rocket camera, a totally plastic construct whose raison d’etre was to provide sprocket hole photography for those who…
Read MoreThe one part of the Nike / Colin Kaepernick story that no one is talking about
Yesterday, Nike released an advertisement in which they supported NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s protests against police brutality and the assaults on black men. Kaepernick’s message is important and all should hear it. It should not be twisted into a “Kaepernick doesn’t support the flag” because that’s not what he’s saying. It should not be corrupted…

Durham Fair: Yes, it was made by a “man” …
The Durham Fair in Connecticut is my last fair of Competition Season 2019. And when I discovered that their photographic entry requirements were reduced from four entries to three per person, I was kinda okay with it … but it made me more interested in entering another category. You know … one of the stitchery…

Yesterday was a beautiful, partly sunny day. And I wanted to go and take some pictures. My plan – I had some infrared film in the Rolleiflex, and I wanted to use it. So I drove to a spot I’ve visited before – a Mail Pouch Barn “ghost sign” in Dutchess County. Honestly, it had…

Bachelor Cooking: a Country Breakfast in an Iron Skillet
I recently participated in a Reddit gift exchange. You know my feelings on Reddit, I have a love-hate relationship with them. But I do love the gift exchanges. After sending out a cookbook to my giftie, my Santa (not the same person) sent me two cookbooks – a “weeknight cookbook for two” (great for Date…
Read More7 and 7 on Saturday, September 1 2018
So it’s time for a delineation. A definition. A restructuring, shall we say. If you’re new to my blog, and you’re wondering, “Why is Chuck calling this a ‘7 and 7’ blog recap, and not just a straight blog recap like every other blogger does with their blog?” A little history. When I used to…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: More Forgotten 1960’s Classics!
Today on K-Chuck Radio, I’m bringing back some of the great dance tracks of the 1960’s. These were the regional hits, the songs that had enough bounce and sass to make you get out of your chair, grab your date, and turn the dance floor into your own personal party time. And let’s start with……

Romance on Gondola #23
So last Sunday, while I was waiting to find out how my entries did at the New York State Fair, I decided I would take my Nikon Df and just shoot around the Fairgrounds. That’s the thing, you need to find inspiration wherever you can get it. And for the paltry sum of $8, I…

Three Goats and a Key Light
While killing time at the New York State Fair earlier this week, I decided to spend some time visiting the animal pens. Look, it’s either walk around the Fairgrounds until my feet fall off … or take some pictures of farm animals. Photos of farm animals wins out. Now I’ve had some good success with…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: The evolution of Dragon’s “Young Years”
Chuck Miller is a fan of the rock band Dragon, a New Zealand / Australian combo that has rocked Down Under for over 45 years. And apparently one of their classic songs is making a push back into prominence in Australia … and may be poised to punch its way into the American music scene.…
