Mohonasen v. Balston Spa

Sunday Showdown: Mohonasen vs. Ballston Spa

On Sunday, December 15th, Mohonasen took to the court at Hudson Valley Community Center for an exciting game against Ballston Spa. It was a hard-fought match, brimming with energy and determination from both teams. I brought my camera along to capture the action, and I’m thrilled with how some of the images turned out. They showcase the team’s hard work and the intensity of the game perfectly. Although the final score was 44-40 in favor of Ballston Spa, Morgan and […]

Smashing Pumpkins At FenwayPark

I’ve wanted to see the Smashing Pumpkins live since 1995, and this past August, I finally got my chance. It felt surreal to check this off my bucket list after almost three decades of waiting. The performance itself was incredible—Billy Corgan still has that enigmatic stage presence, but watching him, I couldn’t help but wonder, “Is Billy Corgan a vampire?” As much as I enjoyed his performance, he seemed slightly out of place in the outdoor stadium setting. The sunlight […]

Cosplay at Saratoga Comic Con

Last November, in addition to meeting some pretty awesome people, I had the chance to capture clever cosplayers at Saratoga’s Comic Con. I wasn’t able to snap as many photos as I usually do, but I’m pretty pleased with the shots I did get. I asked a couple of Deadpools to pose and they didn’t even hesitate to break out the hand hearts. This guy’s Redhood Cosplay was on point. The best I saw. I accidentally walked straight into this […]

Meeting People

Saratoga Comic Con was last month and I got to meet a couple of interesting people. Nolan North I’ve been listening to this man for decades. He’s not just a voice actor—he’s the voice actor. I know him best as Penguin in the Batman: Arkham trilogy and, of course, as Nathan Drake in the Uncharted series. We waited in line for just over an hour to meet him, and I was blown away by his energy and enthusiasm. He seemed […]

Concord's North Bridge

Exploring Concord’s North Bridge

A highlight of my 2024 was the chance to visit the Concord North Bridge in Boston. Not only is it a site with historical significance as the location of one of the first battles of the American Revolution and a powerful reminder of the past, but it also holds deeply personal, nerdy significance. Any devoted Fallout 4 fan knows this unassuming bridge inspired the design of the Sanctuary Hills bridge in the game—one of the most iconic and nostalgic locations […]

A.I. Renders, Dipping Toes

I spent a few hours experimenting with Image to View A.I. Renders and I came out with a handful of decent starter videos. Hopefully more to come. Each render was made with the KlingAI tool, with the standard setting, generating a 6 second video. Image To Video Renders Grandparents Acting Up I figure a good place to start would be with my grandparents. This image was uploaded with the prompt: “Couple leans into each other and hugs.“ Continuing with the […]

The Forgotten Chronicle of Thanksgiving: A Record of Peace with the Forest Giant

As preserved in the archives of Plymouth Colony, A.D. 1621 In the year of our Lord 1621, when the settlers of Plymouth Plantation had endured the harsh and unrelenting bite of their first winter, they found themselves in the throes of hunger and despair. The wilderness surrounding them was vast and unyielding, and though they had established cordial relations with the Wampanoag people, the settlers’ knowledge of survival in this new land remained sorely lacking. Yet it is in the […]

The Good Neighbor

My Notes From: The Good Neighbor: The Life and Work of Fred Rogers by Maxwell King Quotes Taken From The Book: Referenced from the Book: Fred Rogers made reference to “The Adoration of the Magi”, by Leonardo Da Vinci, as his favorite painting. Mr. Rogers, during his Emmy acceptance speech also ask everyone who would listen to take 10 seconds and think of the people responsible for helping us get where we are.
