Up and at ’em. It’s Thursday morning. We’re close to the weekend. We’re close to the end of May and the warm days of summer. It’s Thursday morning – and that means that it’s time to showcase the work of the Times Union’s community bloggers. These are the bloggers who write solely for the love…
Read MoreHalf-shots and full tries
I almost threw these away, because I wasn’t satisfied with what came out. And then, at the last moment, I fished the film out of the garbage and scanned the negatives anyway. This is a testament to never giving up, and trying to get something out of nothing. Background. What you see on the left…
