The “Wacky Races” come to life!!
One of my favorite Saturday morning cartoons of all time was a show called Wacky Races. Eleven souped-up cars compete in long-distance road races. It really didn’t matter who won the race; all that mattered was that the drivers of those cars found a way to either eliminate their opponents, or accidentally eliminate themselves in…

The TRASK 2014 Charity Event
I should be used to this. I should be used to seeing my artwork hanging at a charity event. Heck, I’ve done Historic Albany’s “BUILT” three times already, and every time I still get a case of the nerves. But now it’s time to see what happens with one of my artworks. Last night I…
Read MoreIt’s the Hannah and Kaylee Show!!

Eve of Destruction 2014 at Lebanon Valley Speedway
Four years ago, I took a last-minute assignment to photograph John “Rocky Hardcore” Hauri as he attempted to put a fire truck in the air as part of Lebanon Valley Speedway’s “Eve of Destruction” stunt show.

Recently the United States Patent and Trademark Office rejected the trademark…

Yep. Can I take a picture of a bird feeder in an effort to capture some feathered friends in a photo? Done…

Nicole’s garden and the wild birds
My girlfriend Nicole has actually turned me on to gardening and horticulture. I’ve purchased some plants from Hewitt’s Garden Center, I’ve mulched here and there, and I even helped Nicole transplant some flowers and bushes from one location to another. Not bad for a guy whose previous gardening experience was that I pulled everything out…
Read MoreWhat’s left of 116 Dana Avenue
I’ve been following the news regarding the new construction projects in the Park South neighborhood. Apparently if I read the proposal correctly, two city blocks are going to be plowed over to build new parking garages. One of those areas – the area currently designated as “Phase II” of the construction plans – is currently…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: Kurtis Blow versus Whodini!
You know what? I really enjoy classic R&B/influenced 80’s rap music. Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Run-D.M.C., the Sugarhill Gang – all very enjoyable for me. So let’s set up five songs from that classic rapper Kurtis Blow, and five songs from the awesome rap trio Whodini. Yep, it’s an old-fashioned rap music battle.…
