“YOU OVER-OFFICIOUS JERK!” (or, Happy 100th Birthday, Marv Levy)
Marv Levy, the great football coach who guided the Buffalo Bills to four consecutive Super Bowls from 1990-1993 during his Hall-of-Fame career, is 100 years old this day. Those Bills teams hold a strong place on my emotional life, even … Continue reading

My city
I haven’t edited this photo yet, seeing as how I jut took it yesterday morning, and I’m a couple weeks behind on my photo edits. But I wanted to share this one now because I really love this vantage point. … Continue reading

Something for Thursday
I wanted to like this more than I did, but it’s worth watching, even if it’s way too frantic: it’s a short film comprised of drone footage of many of Buffalo’s architectural gems. I’ve been nearly everywhere in this film, and it … Continue reading
On the streets of East Aurora
A few weeks back I was able to spend an hour or so walking around the main drag of East Aurora on a Saturday evening (The Wife was out with friends! Can you believe that!). I was hoping for some … Continue reading

Scenes from the Snowy 716
It took a while: we recorded one of our latest initial snowfalls, if not the latest initial snowfall, ever. It didn’t actually snow until November 30, and then last weekend we had our first trademark lake-effect storm of the year. This one … Continue reading

On the cusp
Fall isn’t here yet, but we can certainly feel it knocking on the door. And I’m fine with that! Fall is my favorite time of year, followed by winter, and lately summer has been rising in my esteem. The summer … Continue reading

My City
Last Sunday morning, after leaving the Outer Harbor on a photography walk, I grabbed my camera as I was cresting the Skyway heading into downtown Buffalo. (Relax, there wasn’t anybody behind me for about half a mile…it was a really … Continue reading

“I’ll take ‘KINDS OF RAMAS’ for $1000, Ken”
The answer: “This type of widescreen photograph can be created in Lightroom by stitching together multiple photographs from a single vantage point.” “What is a panorama?” Last Sunday I was at Chestnut Ridge park on a wonderfully clear day, and thus I … Continue reading

Sun and Moon (and clouds)

The trains don’t run anymore….
Photos from a short walk at the Orchard Park Railroad Depot yesterday. The Depot, you may remember, has been lovingly restored after years of neglect after the trains stopped running, and the tracks are now a rail trail. These weren’t … Continue reading
