It’s a synergy, I tell you. It has to be. Yesterday, after I posted my blog about taking my artwork The Shooting Star to the new Albany Center Gallery location, one of my friends, Roger Green, messaged me to suggest I list ACG’s new address, as they have moved from their former location to this…

Oscar’s Hope for the Win
Two of my most successful photography creations were a mixture of B&W and color photography, capturing two images in one take. In 2011, I packed very old Ansco Pan 70mm film and AGFA Vista color print film into a vintage 616 camera, the AGFA Chief, and created The AGFA Bridge Over Ansco Lake. Prior to…
Read MoreI just heard from the New York State Fair, 2025 edition
Waited on those emails all weekend. Waited, waited, waited … And then … after lots of despair … I received word. Last year, four of my photos made the walls of the Harriet May Mills Art Center; this year, I’m hoping for better results. Along with two entries in the Arts and Crafts section of…
Read MoreThe Congregation of Carissima
Sometimes you work on a project and you think there’s a goal in sight. And suddenly … without warning … you’re taking a different route. Robert Frost points to the other road and say, “Take this one, it’s less traveled.” I shall explain. Last month, during my Hamilton College 40th reunion, I took some of…
Read MoreA little yellow postcard from Iowa, 2025 edition
And here we go. Four photos went to Iowa for the 2025 Iowa State Fair Photography Salon. I sent an infrared photo of a harness horse, I sent a shot of the sun piercing the New York City skyline, I sent a shot of a dandelion with a swirly bokeh background, and I sent a…
Read MoreMy entries for the 2025 Iowa State Fair Photography Salon are …
And with a Priority Mail box shipped to Des Moines – with four foam-boarded and professionally-printed artworks in the container – Competition Season 2025 has commenced. This will be fun. Last year, three of my four submissions to the Iowa State Fair’s photography contest made the walls of the gallery, with one photo capturing a…
Read MoreMy 40th Reunion at Hamilton College
It still feels surreal. Long-buried memories that slumbered for four decades are back. Juvenile instincts to visit this building for food or this building for class supersede my adult-age thoughts. I’m back in Clinton. Back on the campus of Hamilton College. Back for my 40th anniversary of graduation. For those not familiar, Hamilton College was…
Read MoreThe Albany Patroons defeat Halifax 122-106 to advance to a three-game playoff with the NY Phoenix
Typing that headline makes me smile. The TBL’s playoff format – first-round knockout battles, then best-of-three contests to survive and advance to the TBL championship – began last night. The Albany Patroons, as the #3 seed in the North Atlantic Division, needed to win a one-game playoff against the #2 seed, the Halifax Hoopers, to…
Read MoreMy Pentacon Six TL shoots its first rolls of infrared film
I already have one dedicated infrared camera – my black Nikon Df was converted to a full-spectrum infrared shooter some time ago, and it works like a charm. And I’ve also had some reasonable success with my new-to-me Pentacon Six TL medium-format film camera, it’s handled slide film and print film and B&W film like…
Read MoreIs the Lomography DigitaLIZA+ film scanner my new film-to-digital replacement?
Point of clarification. I shoot with both digital and film gear. And when I shoot film, I usually give my pro labs the direction to scan the developed negatives and give me digital copies of those scans. On other instances, I’ll take the negatives and scan them in my flatbed scanner. Which … unfortunately ……
