I was able to catch a portion of the Deep Water Literary Festival in the Digital Gallery at the Narrowsburg Union.

I took animator Fleischer’s advice and “went on out to the lobby to get ourselves a treat,” presented with glee by proprietor Krissy Smith, right, and her lobby assistant Sarah O'Connor, who gushed over the dog. Of course...
Let’s all go to the movies!
There’s an old animated short film by that name, played in movie theaters long before my time. It was directed by famed animation director Dave Fleischer (think “Betty Boop,” … more

At last week's Barryville Farmers' Market the costume parades for both children and canines were great fun to photograph. To see all of the photos, check out our Facebook page and dot com. And yes, "Cousin Itt" won a prize!
Trick or treat?
Ah, Halloween! How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. Costumes, candy and things that go bump in the night top the list, but more than that, I love seeing and photographing kids having the time … more

Welcome to the neighborhood
It’s hard to believe that summer is already upon us, especially for those of you who are new to the region and thought that winter would never end. On the flip side, spring was particularly … more

Even though the place was brimming over with folks who can see into the future, no one predicted that I'd leave without getting a reading at the psychic fair I attended last weekend.
Murphy’s Law
If you haven’t heard of the old adage, it’s fairly simple, straightforward and to the point: “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.” I’m not sure that … more

Little did we know.

"Modern glitter is usually manufactured from plastic and is rarely recycled, leading to calls from scientists for bans on plastic glitter.”
All that glitters…

What a difference a day makes
It’s Monday, as I write this, and it’s snowing out there. I mean really, really snowing. Wasn’t it just last week that I was extolling the power of positive thinking and crowing … more

It's not the first time (don't judge!) that my dog and I have matching Hanukkah outfits, and it won't be the last.
