While back east during the process of putting my young lad to rest after his untimely and tragic demise earlier in February of this , I wandered through several of my old photographic haunts like Hoboken NJ, the wonderful Erie Lackawanna Ferry-Rail Terminal now utilized by New Jersey Transit, PATH and New York Waterway today. The green patina of the oxidized copper adorns it’s exterior.

In Bloomfield NJ, out in the yard the sky had a purple hue above the warm hue of the sunset to the west that I captured as I took Mr Snuggles my dog out to do his business. That’s one of the things I love about sunrises and sunsets, you never quite know how God is going to paint the sky at any particular location and at any particular time. - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @apple #excellent_america @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @newjerseysunsetskies @newjerseyisntboring @newjerseyisbeautiful @tiffencompany @adorama @omsystem.cameras #sunsets
A host of motorcycles, mostly Harley Davidsons gathered at the Brookdale Tavern Bloomfield NJ across the street from me on March 6th, 2021. Earlier in the day members of the Bloomfield NJ police department and many others from police departments as far as Massachusetts said final good-byes to retired Bloomfield 53 year old police officer Benedetto “Benny” Christiano, who lost his battle to COVID-19 on March 2, 2021. He retired in December 2020 and then was diagnosed with COVID-19.
After a torrential downpour in Hoboken New Jersey I emerged from the historic Erie Lackawanna Station to see the sun was out shining on the window panes of the station and behind the station a beautiful rainbow that I captured on my iPhone. iPhone 7. #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera @mpbcom #olympus @visithobokennj @visit_nj @newjerseyisntboring @newjerseyisbeautiful #newjerseyisntboring #newjerseyisbeautiful @njtransit @apple #iphone7
One of New Jersey’s most picturesque and photographed locations is located in western New Jersey alongside the Raritan River in the town of Clinton is a grist mill referred to as the ‘Red Mill’. When Ralph Hunt built this mill in 1810 on land he received in inheritance from his father Daniel Hunt its original purpose was that of a wool processing plant. Unfortunately, foreign cloth was relatively low cost so eventually even though some of the surrounding farmers would get their wool manufactured, Hunt’s business dried up and the mill came to a grinding halt. It was around 1828 to 1834 that John Bray and John B. Taylor (the Taylor family had taken ownership of the property began production wool in the mill again. The new owner John W. Snyder stopped the wool processing altogether and converted the mill in to a grist mill. Before all production stopped, it was a graphite mill and finally a talc mill when all activity stopped. Today it is a museum and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Captured this image while with my west coast damsel, returning from a wonderous weekend in Lehigh Valley Pennsylvania. I particularly like the distorted reflection of the mill in water just before it cascades on the dam. #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera @mpbcom @visitclintonnj @newjerseyisntboring @newjerseyisbeautiful #newjerseyisntboring #newjerseyisbeautiful @visit_nj #omd #olympus #microfourthirds #micro43 #micro43photography
The 1835 ‘new’ dam on New Jersey’s Passaic River in Paterson New Jersey that diverts the waters of the Passaic River to the S.U.M. hydroelectric just east of the river. Paterson was founded by Alexander Hamilton in 1792 where he also founded The Society for Establishing Useful Manufacturers who charter was to harness the power of the mighty Passaic to make it the fledgling United States first industrial city. The dam and its predecessor diverted the Passaic’s water to power manufacturing first using the flow of water to power machinery making Hamilton’s vision a reality creating a network of raceways in the vicinity. The raceways drove waterwheels that transferred the mechanical kinetic energy to power machines within the district built around the river and falls. Eventually when technology evolved to electric power the water was diverted to turbines that powered Paterson.

A few weeks back I captured this image of lighted roof of Secaucus’s Frank R Lautenberg Rail station located in the heart of the Meadowlands swamps that opened back in 2003 to much fanfare. It was named after NJ’s late senator Frank R Lautenberg who championed the funds to make this station a reality. In 2004, the New York Times described the station as a ‘Monument of arriving in the middle of Nowhere’ as at that time, and really except for an apartment complex within walking distance is still quite true. Probably 90 % of the passengers on the trains on any given day never go outside the station. Save the residents of the aforementioned apartment and a small amount of commuters who choose to park at its rather expensive parking. Not a daily think for many as I have never seen the lot completely full, even pre-COVID19 pandemic.
The station was built in the shadows of Snake Hill, now called Laurel Hill in the New Jersey Meadowlands. The Lenni Lanape Indians had named that protrusion out of the swamps Snake Hill as they would see hundreds of water snakes sunning themselves on the rocks. So the monolithic Pennsylvania Railroad pushed it railroads through the swamps and tunneled under the Hudson to create a fast means of connecting the northeast United States. They crossed another railroad whose track had been laid by the Delaware Lackawana and Western Railroad and Erie Railroad which ran north-south of Snake Hill. It was at this juncture that the Frank R Lautenberg Station was built. The 300,000 square foot, four story structure that occupies 28 acres sits at the intersection of these two railways which account for 9 of New Jersey Transit’s 10 rail lines. It was amazing built over active rail tracks, without disrupting service for the 400 passenger and freight trains and took over a decade to complete. This is part of the Eastern Corridor railway, the heart of Amtrak’s northeast rail service as well as New Jersey Transit and additionally Norfolk Southern and CSX freight.
