Writing, Photography, and the life lessons I learned from Street Academy
Yesterday was muggy and half-sunny, half-cloudy. And all I wanted to do was just grab my cameras and drive somewhere, drive as far as I could and just photograph to my heart’s content. So what’s to stop me from driving to Oneida County and taking pictures at my alma mater, Hamilton College? Not much. Let’s…
Read MoreIt’s a hot, muggy day, and I thought that if I need to balance out the sticky weather with anything… it should be with a K-Chuck Radio blog post. Besides, there’s so many great songs from the past that have been completely forgotten about – even though they were either decent hits, or regional hits,…
Read MoreI am totally amazed that nobody picked up on this, nobody noticed it, nobody said a word. Heck, I didn’t even realize it until I saw it on television. Surely I expected SOMEONE to say something. By now you know that Mexican Radio, the new Hispanic restaurant in downtown Schenectady, recently opened. For now, it’s…
Read MoreA couple of weeks ago, I was working on a project and I had to contact an old friend for an interview. We set up a time to talk, I would call that evening on her home phone land line for the interview. I called that night. No answer. I contacted her the next day. …

Oh man, what a day. I just want to go home, relax, turn on my fan, sit in my comfy chair and watch something on television. No cooking today. I’ll stop at Mr. Subb and get a Neba or something. Wait… why is Mr. Subb closed? And the Dunkin’ Donuts next to it is closed? …
Read MoreNow that I’ve submitted my entry form for the New York State Fair’s 2014 Photography Competition, what six images did I decide to submit this year? Do any of my photos have a chance of garnering silks and exposure in 2014?
Read MoreLet me say this right off the bat. I saw Snowpiercer yesterday. The film was amazing. There were plenty of twists and turns and more than a couple of surprises. And I started thinking… I’m a pretty decent fan of post-apocalyptic dystopian future films. You know… the ones where society has suffered a near-wipeout of…
Read MoreI shot this video last night at a private fireworks display. It was the final shell of the night, part of the finale. Watch this video… and I bet you that partway through the video clip, you will certainly make a jump to the right… Yeah. That’s how close that fireworks shell got. If I…
