About this blog title

I cannot tell you how many times I have shown up at events with a couple of cameras around my neck, a gadget bag full of odds & ends and a lighting kit and have been asked that question. If it happened once every few years, that would be one thing. But it happens a LOT. It's like getting pulled over by the police and he's standing there with uniform, gun, flashing lights and asking him "Are you a cop?" I would love to come back with a witty reply, such as "No, I am Jesus. Don't you recognize my beard?" However, I cannot be that rude.

Photos of New York governor Mario Cuomo's visit to Carthage, N.Y. in 1986. Back then US Army Camp Drum had recently been upgraded to Fort Drum and was to become home of the 10th Mountain Division. Carthage was among the surrounding communites that were constructing new housing to accomodate the large number of troops that would be populating the fort. Gov. Cuomo was visiting to view the progress of that expansion.

Spiderman threatened with quarantine in 2005 comic strip (15 years before Covid19)

I was going through some storage boxes, throwing things awaywhen I came upon this Spderman daily comic from October 9, 2005. It seems there was something unusual in Spiderman's blood and if he didn't agree to a hospitalization then the Dr would have him quarantined. I find it amusing / interesting to have stumbled upon it during the Covid 19 pandemic we have been living through. I found the strip in the Post-Standard newspaper. It's not unusual for me to have old copies of the paper as I often saved sections of it that had one of my photos published.
