Think about this for a second. If I asked you to name ten different Bee Gees songs RIGHT NOW… I could probably guess nine of them. Go ahead. Write down your choices. Let’s see… I’m betting you wrote down “Stayin’ Alive,” “Night Fever,” “How Deep Is Your Love,” “Tragedy,” “You Should Be Dancing,” “Jive Talkin,”…
Read MoreThe Internet memes have invaded my blog!!
We’ve all seen them. They’ve been passed around from e-mail to e-mail, posted on Facebook walls, tweeted and pinned and G-plus’d and whatnot. You know them. Internet memes. Ironic, witty, pithy comments juxtaposed with photographs of various thisandthats. So just for a goof, and to give everybody a good laugh, I wondered what would happen…
Read MoreWeek 10 of the $2,000 2012-13 Elbo Room Trivia Tournament
There are basic verbal terms and phrases that one can use in describing your basic trivia event. There’s the “murder question,” in which the final answer is so tough that it stumps everybody. There’s the “Baker Triple,” so named after Trivia Nights Live host Kevin Baker’s proclivity to have the answer for a multiple-bonus question…
Read MoreDream Window #4: Life Ain’t No Crystal Stair
Sunday, October 28. The pre-Superstorm Sandy sky was surprisingly calm, and I had plenty of shootable 120 camera rollfilm in my freezer. Yep, the freezer is where all photographers should keep their film, so that it can be used without worrying about it going too far past its expiration date. Don’t laugh at me, you…
Read MoreBarack Obama won because of the Albany Patroons!
So Barack Obama won re-election last night. Congratulations on the election, and I hope that you finally complete your mandate. And as far as I’m concerned, you finally made up for a big mistake you made earlier in your first term. Let me explain. A year or two ago, when the Dallas Mavericks won the…
Read MoreI voted Communist the first time.
That’s not a “tease” headline. That’s not “I voted for ‘Communist’ hair gel” or anything like that. For this, we need to take a trip back to 1972. At that time, I was in third grade at Corinth Elementary (school #5 on the list of “The Twelve”). The school had its moments – but not…

The invasion of Team Z
It’s Monday night, and I’m heading over to Brown’s Brewing to play my Monday night trivia game there. I really enjoy playing trivia at Brown’s, it’s a nice atmosphere and there are several good trivia teams there to compete against – mostly A Few Cards Short of a Deck, the Precious Little Princesses and a…
Read More“We had you under surveillance, Chuck…”
Last week, in an effort to improve on my “slit-scan” photo technique – modifying my Nikon EM mechanical camera as a “photo finish” camera – I drove up to Saratoga Casino and Raceway for another photo shoot. Figured I’d photograph the pacers and the trotters and hope for the best. When it comes to photography,…
Read MoreThe 2012 Historic Albany Foundation BUILT Event
It’s Saturday night, and I’m trying to get ready for this evening’s big gallery event – the Historic Albany Foundation’s ‘BUILT” charity art auction / fundraiser, or as I call it, the final event of my “charitable” photography season. Gotta look nice for the event – essentially, dress to impress. Must find the right suit…
