I was lucky enough to shoot photos at two related events this past weekend in downtown Albany. In case you are one of the few residents of the Capital District who I didn't run into (and have been living under a rock), this weekend was the 5th annual Albany Wine and Dine for the Arts, … Continue reading Reflections after 2 days of being Wined and Dined

Y, we’re breaking up
For more than 10 years, we’ve been an item. I've used 4 of your facilities in the Capital District, but my usual spot was the Greenbush branch. There had been a time when I frequented the Bethlehem location in the mornings, but since you cancelled the two classes for which I was willing to wake … Continue reading Y, we’re breaking up
Time and $$ or Why I don’t fly out of Albany

To the VegFest? Yes, that was me. In case you missed the APB from the nice vegan folks, let me tell you about it. It was a busy day, filled with errands and chores.

Duck, duck, soup
Recently, the boys and I had a hankering for Chinese food. We were looking for takeout, which eliminated our usual spot, Emperor's Palace, but I remembered Steve Barnes doing a review a couple of months ago for a spot on Central Avenue. After a quick check on their menu and confirmation that they offered Peking … Continue reading Duck, duck, soup
