There are happy songs, there are angry songs – and then there are the songs that bring your emotions to the boil. The ones that are the equivalent of a half-gallon of ice cream and a TV tuned to Investigation Discovery. On today’s K-Chuck Radio, let’s go through a few of those emotional classics. Bring…

The mystery of the antique camera film, 2015 edition
One of my blog readers, Dave Stewart, kindly “gifted” me his father’s Argus C3 camera. Other than giving it a new leather body, and doing some fine-tuning to the mechanisms, I haven’t had a chance to take it out for a shoot. But when I checked inside the camera… you know it. Film. And some…
Read MoreCapturing peace and avoiding security at Saratoga Race Course
Last Saturday, I was at the Saratoga Race Course. No, I didn’t win any money. Trust me, the only thing I won that day was a nasty farmer’s tan. That being said, I was busy testing out some new film techniques along the pathway that connects the track to the paddock. I brought a few…

My son Kris just turned 30 today. And at this point in time, I want to wish him the happiest of birthdays and all the best in this world. 30 is a good benchmark for age; it’s a time to look back at what you’ve learned and accomplished, reflect on things, and work forward toward…
Read MoreBest of our TU Community Bloggers, August 20, 2015: Ten for Thursday
Yawn. Can’t sleep. Insomnia kicking in. Do not like. Must find a way to go back to sleep and get my zzzzz’s… I could sit and read several blogs by several community bloggers, but that wouldn’t put me to sleep. Honestly, that would in fact keep me awake, because I’d want to read more community…

Read MoreThe Lane 2 Surprise
It’s Monday morning. I’m off to Syracuse to complete the drive of shame – to pick up my four non-accepted artworks from the New York State Fair. Must get up nice and early, and make this a quick “out-and-back” trip. Unlike last year, when I had to remove all six of my non-accepted photo, this…

Rutland, Vivaldi, and ripped blue jeans
Sweltering Sunday. It’s the day when I spend time at the Altamont Fair, the final day for the 2015 Fair run. During this day, I visited the animal barns, I checked out the stunt shows, I even tried to throw little plastic rings onto the necks of beer bottles to win a prize (no such…

Caption Time: I got photobombed by a…
I was at the Altamont Fair last Tuesday… and just for the heck of it, I took a selfie photo. And maybe I should have looked behind me before I took said selfie photo. Background, Chuck, always check your background. But I’ll let you, my loyal blog readers, have fun with this one. Give me…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: More silly 70’s songs
Sometimes I get frustrated when I listen to popular music. It’s 95% junk. It’s 97% fluff. And I say to myself, “The music I enjoyed in the 197o’s wasn’t this painful, was it?” And then I realize… there were a few chunks of pyrite and feldspar in the gold that was part of my musical…
