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.

Artist Tom Bintz' 73rd Birthday

Artist Tom "Captain Honk" Bintz on his 73rd birthday, October 11, 2024

I made this portrait of  Tom "Captain Hink" Bintz on the morning of his 73rd birthday. We are at te Pillar Point Community Sign outside Dexter, NY.  Someone whom I don't know posts names of Pillar Point residents on this sign on their birthdays. On this day however, Bintz' name was missing. The phone number to call regarding the birthday posts was not working. His name was displayed however a couple of days later.
I have been working so much on our Clay St apartment house that I have spent little time with Bintz this summer. He is a long time friend and a talented, interesting fellow.
