All In The Family is one of the greatest sitcoms of all time – heck, I’d even argue it’s one of the greatest scripted television shows of all time. The show broke so many taboos and boundaries and sitcom norms that, even today, you can watch episodes of this classic series and go, “How in…

The TV show South Park has its own distinct animation style. The whole show looks like it was animated with paper cutouts. Okay, back in the early years it WAS animated that way, even though the show today is totally computer-generated, but still … What if the show went in the OTHER direction, and we…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: The sweet sounds of The Executives
For approximately three years in the late 1960’s, a five-man, one-woman rock group from Sydney, Australia became one of that country’s most popular groups – almost as popular as their contemporaries, the Seekers or the Easybeats. Let me introduce you to The Executives, led by the married couple of Brian King and Carol King. They…

I recently posted a blog in which I captured a distressed Eagle Scout badge, along with the necessary tools to repair it. Here’s the post. It’s one thing to photograph this wrecked badge. But it’s another to actually take a moment and fix it. And the big issue now for this medal … is the…

We have to go all the way back to 2010. I found a roll of shot film in an old Kodak camera at an antique mall. The film itself was C-22 film, which isn’t compatible with any of the film developing techniques available at the time, so I looked online for anyone who handled boutique…

The Saratoga, Corinth & Hudson Railroad, the Sacandaga River, and an infrared camera
Back in November 2023, I had one of my Nikon Df cameras (my older black one) modified for infrared shooting. The company who modified the camera also sold me two special filters – a chrome filter (for replicating the Kodak EIR / Aerochrome look) and a second filter that blocks light up to 720nm (for…

Normally I apologize if this blog post is late in the day. But today, since I have an early photo shoot planned, I’m up way too early to shepherd today’s blog post into existence. 😀 Rise and shine, revilee, revilee. And since I’m awake … let’s get a recap together of the best blogs and…

Several months ago, I blogged about the art company Retrospekt’s tribute to the Peanuts cartoon’s “Beagle Scouts” plotline (Snoopy as the leader of a troop of young woodsy birds). Retrospekt manufactured several “Beagle Scouts”-themed cameras and cassette recorders, designed to make you smile and willingly take your money. Now at the time, I thought it…

Some time ago, I blogged about my macro photo of a ladies’ wristwatch, with a photo called Tick Tock Symphonette. I posted it to my Facebook page, as well as to the Facebook “Chuck Miller Creative Writing Service” page. And suddenly … the post was removed. ??? I didn’t remove the post. Facebook removed it,…
