The following is a playlist for the broadcast of the Nightowl Radio Show, a one-hour college radio show on station WHCL-FM. The show can be streamed tonight at 7:00 p.m. Eastern at whcl.org. You can also listen to the Nightowl Radio Show, or any show on WHCL-FM, by telling your Amazon Echo, “Alexa, play WHCL-FM.”…
Read MoreTelevision game shows don’t have to be all “get the right answer and win a car” serious. Sometimes you can have a successful game show that also plays for laughs. The Gong Show was one such program. So were the 1970’s-era Match Game episodes. Remote Control was also a fun game show in its day.…
Read MoreEvery year, the Albany Center Gallery has a “Member’s Show” where artists can feature one artwork apiece. Today is drop-off day at the Gallery, and until last month, I had considered entering my disappearing Christmas tree photo Ran Out of Firewood, or maybe my prism-altered Atomic Tulips. That changed when, three weeks ago, I caught…

All you had to do was pick the print you wanted, click on it, pay for it with PayPal, and wait by your mailbox. Simple as that. Well, since last year’s efforts were so successful ……
Read MoreLast Saturday I tested my modified Nikon Df by photographing a park gazebo. And everything worked out well. Now comes the next test.

Read MoreI’m on a less-than-three-weeks-to-go plan to photograph the CPKC Holiday Train as it passes through New York in late November. Trust me. The jack-o-lanterns on my neighbor’s porch hasn’t even wilted yet, and I’m already getting in gear for this. And I’ve already noticed word in some circles that there’s some “adjustments” to the train.…
Read MoreWhatever my WordPress blog host did to combat spam seems to have worked. My spam filter no longer has hundreds of poorly-written requests from bots and scammers. This is a good thing.
