Last November, I won a Tudor-style window from an Oneonta salvage yard in an eBay auction; that picture eventually became Dream Window #5: The Thirst Quencher. But instead of spending extra $$ in having them ship that window to me, I instead drove to Oneonta and picked the window up myself. When I got to…

And I’m as nervous as a balloon in a pincushion factory. “A Dream in the Dash,” my first-ever solo art show, will have its debut on Friday, May 17, at St. Agnes Cemetery’s “Living Room” art gallery and meditation space, 48 Cemetery Road, Menands. I’m waiting for my last artwork to get framed up –…

Every year, Major League Baseball hosts Jackie Robinson Day, and every baseball player gives up their regular jersey number to wear #42, Robinson’s number with the Brooklyn Dodgers. It’s a fantastic gesture and a tribute to a baseball legend and trailblazer. And I always hope that in that sea of 42’s… I keep hoping someone…

I’ve been trying and trying and TRYING to get my slitscan photos working properly. So much so, that I’ve developed a small testing routine. Every Sunday whenever possible, I drive up to Saratoga Casino and Raceway – that’s what THEY call it, it’s still “Saratoga Harness” to me – and I swap information with Dave…
Read MoreA celebration of Coney Island history
Part of me wishes I was born a hundred years ago, so that I could have enjoyed the legacy of fun in Coney Island. Sand and shore, amusement rides and carnival performers. While the legendary parks of Coney Island are no longer around, there are still some remnants of those glory years – including the…

There’s a classic episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation called “The Game,” in which the crew of the Enterprise becomes addicted to a mind-controlling electronic game. As with most Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes, at least one character discovers an immunity to the threat (in this case, it’s Lt. Data) and the crew…
Read MoreBack to Boston this July
It’s an important event for me, it’s part of my photographic cycle and it’s a chance to honor someone who gave so much to his community, and for his community to give back to him. It’s the Louis Saunders Memorial Basketball Tournament in Boston. The tournament features some of the best basketball talent, all battling…

It took four fill-ups at my local Hess gas stations, plus purchasing a 24-pack of Diet Pepsi, but I received my prize. My “prize,” for sending in the receipts from those four fill-ups and for the 24-pack of Diet Pepsi, were two free New York Yankees tickets. Not bad. Friday, April 26, Yankees versus Toronto,…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: Rest in peace, George Jones…
If you’re a country music fan and you can’t name three George Jones songs, you aren’t a true country music fan. George Jones lived country music, every high and low, every triumph and heartache. And today, he took the keys to his John Deere riding mower, and rode off to glory. So on today’s edition…
Read MoreAre my photos regional-worthy?
I’m not going to lie. I definitely enjoy entering my photos into competition. And I’ve had my share of success in doing so. Last year wasn’t as great as it could have been, but that means that I’ll try harder this year. But despite all my attempts to pick up wins at Altamont and at…
