Writing, Photography, and the life lessons I learned from Street Academy
I received a letter from Time Warner Cable regarding my cable / internet monthly bill. I pay approximately $130/month for my cable / internet services, and that includes the additional sports package with the NFL Network. I don’t need their digital phone (I already have a cell phone, and people can reach me that way),…
Read MoreFour years ago, I submitted several of my Kodachrome photos to the Association of Photographers gallery show in London, as part of their “75 Years of Kodachrome” art exhibit. Two pictures – The Railsplitter and Toll Gate Ice Cream – actually made it on to the gallery walls. It was a major accomplishment for me,…
Read MoreIt’s Columbus Day, so today I decided to set up a K-Chuck Radio blog post that features ten songs about sailing, sailors, and every other sort of aquatic travel. So get your life jackets on, run to the front end of the boat, and shout “I’m the King of the World!!” – oh yeah, I’m…
Read MoreNo, not THAT kind of Kaboom. Yesterday, while grocery shopping, I picked up a few items for the apartment – garbage bags, paper towels, kitchen sponges… and then I remembered my friend Dylan had recommended I look for a certain box of cereal. “See if you can pick up some KABOOM, Chuck,” he laughed.

This year, the event will take place on Saturday, November 1 at the DeWitt Clinton Hotel in downtown Albany, as…
Read MoreIt’s Thursday morning, and you know what that means. It’s the day I turn over my blog to showcase ten of my fellow Times Union community bloggers and their quality blog posts. Hopefully you’ll find a new blog you haven’t read before, and you might just enjoy reading that person’s blog now – and in…

I woke up this morning, hoping I could get at least a photograph or two of the elusive “blood moon” lunar eclipse. I drove out to the Black Bridge, where I knew I could get at least a good shot of the moon before it hit the horizon. And at about 5:25, when the clouds…
Read MoreListen, I can use all the best film and top-notch cameras in the world to get my pictures… but sometimes it’s fine to just pack a roll of pharmacy-surplus 35mm film in my Nikon F100 and shoot. That’s how I got this picture. So how about someone give me a good caption for it? And…
