A few months back I bought a Living Social deal for Javier's in Saratoga. My motivation was to enjoy a night out and sample some of Brian Bowden's food. Well, you know how that worked out. Nonetheless, Thursday night we hit the Northway and arrived promptly for our 6:45 reservation. While the downstairs bar was completely empty, the … Continue reading Saratoga bites

Reflections after 2 days of being Wined and Dined
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
YOLO – NOLA
First, apologies for YOLO. I've never used that acronym before and I promise to retire it immediately. The term, that is. The sentiment? Not likely.

Here's the deal - the boys and I have developed a routine when it comes to meals - Tuesday nights are generally simple, Thursdays seem to have evolved into cleaning out the fridge leftover smorgasbords, Fridays are take-out (or worse) and Saturdays we … Continue reading Where’s the (better) beef?
Remember that day I wore leather?
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. I had committed to shooting the 2013 Albany VegFest which was being held at the Polish-American Community Center out on Washington … Continue reading Remember that day I wore leather?
It’s like apples and squid?
Knowing that my October weekends were pretty tightly jammed, I decided to get the apple-(cider donut)picking out-of-the-way a little early in the season. We have a regular semi-secret spot down in Greene County that we’ve been going to for years, but something told me to call prior to hopping in the car this year. Good … Continue reading It’s like apples and squid?
