Anyone can dazzle with enough glitter and feathers – it takes a truly talented artist to dazzle with words. Chuck Miller does just that, and where his words leave off, his photography takes over. Together, they compile a body of work that is layered with complexity, beauty and wisdom, all working in tandem to earn him this Dazzler of the Day feature. Miller has been a fixture on the Albany scene for years, and he was an integral part of the Times Union blogger scene back when it mattered. Luckily for us, he continues writing on his ‘Chuck the Writer’ blog (while also having written several books) and his award-winning photography is enchanting whenever and wherever it appears. For me, he’ll be a hero for posting these choice words for a certain Florida governor, but he’s been a champion for all people, especially those who don’t always have a voice. That he lends such eloquence and artistry to such expression is why he’s the Dazzler of the Day. (Glimpse a bit of his Pi Day writing below, then check out his site for the rest.)
