I ran up to Corning tonight just before Midnight to shoot the Corning Credit Union Building that I saw was lit up as an American Flag….but when I got there most of the lights were either burned out or turned off :(, but then I spotted another treasure. Corning Inc.s old HQ Building was lit in honor of the Twin Towers…..and as I was shooting and took in the entire scene I realized that American Flag hanging in the Skywalk over the Street, and that the entire scene resembled Trade Center Plaza and it’s SkyWalk Pedestrian Bridge that passes over West St. in Manhattan, a scene that I shot may times during the ’80’s. That’s the whole trick to Photography…..ALWAYS keep your EYES & MIND OPEN!

This Tremendous Display is currently being assembled on the grounds of St. Mary Our Mother Parish in Horseheads, NY. The flags are currently being unfurled. When complete, organizers say there will be over 2000 flags on display this 9/11 weekend. Check it out if you can!

Late Sunday Night my computer got hit with a Sasser Virus and knocked me right on my butt! The computer was in the capable hands of my buddy John Cecce @ Bit Bucket Computers all day Monday getting swept of all bugs & having Windows re-loaded, and ever since I have been here, battling technology 1000 different ways while trying to get all of my programs back, re-installed, re-loaded and re-configured to the way they were!. After the second day in a row of leaving the Studio after 3:00 A.M., I’m kinda wishing for the good old days…. of FILM & CHEMICALS & DARKROOMS!

Life was soooo much simpler way back then! Good Night Cruel World!

Just a test, as I’m trying out my blog page feature for the first time! Feel free to comment
