Earlier this week, I took my camera gear for another trip through the Adirondacks. At this point in time, I’m looking for something to add to my arsenal of photos for competition season.

Read MoreHarley-Davidson’s warranty voided over patriotism?
David Zien loves his Harley-Davidson motorcycles and he loves his country. His Harley-Davidson chariots have transported him for over four decades, and in 2009, his 1991 Harley FXRT motorcycle achieved over one million miles, earning it enshrinement in a motorcycle museum in Sturgis, S.D.

Read MoreSeeing old wounds with new eyes
Three years ago, I replaced my scratched-up eyeglasses with a new pair, thanks to my new ophthalmologist, Dr. Gesshoo.

The other day, I photographed the Colonial Cleaners neon sign with my electrified Revolog Tesla 2 film. Last Thursday evening, I went back for another shot.
