I wish that all of nature's magnificence, the emotion of the land, the living energy of place could be photographed.

Downtown Paterson NJ through a window at the Wonder Art Factory Studios/Artist Complex located in The Paterson Great Falls Historic District a couple of blocks from the Great Falls National Park. Housed in one of the many old silk mills that were prevalent during the turn of the Nineteenth Century, wonderfully repurposed to serve as a photographic and videographic studios, open space event space for weddings, quiceniera & bar mitzva and storefronts for artisans & artists. The upper floors feature an unparalleled view of the historic & somewhat crime riddled downtown area of Paterson, the county seat of Passaic County New Jersey. - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #patersonnj @patersongreatfalls @newjerseyisntboring @newjerseyisbeautiful @artfactorypaterson #artfactorypaterson @cityofpatersonnj @kehcamera
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.

Finally getting some color here in New Jersey and what better place to see some than Waterloo Village.
"The Peter D. Smith house was erected in 1871, the same year Peter, 26, was married. The house overlooks the village and has a sweeping view of the Musconetcong River and Morris Canal."
"...considered to be the most architecturally significant building in the village. Located on top of a rise of land on the north side of the old Waterloo Road, the Peter D. Smith house is a three-story wood-framed dwelling designed in the Second Empire style of architecture."

The holiday weekend is over and back to reality tomorrow ~!
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.
The Empty Sky NJ 9/11 Memorial in Liberty State Park in Jersey City New Jersey is dedicated to the 749 innocent New Jersey residents that perished at the World Trade Center New York, the Pentagon in Washington DC and Shanksville Pennsylvania on that tragic day on September 11, 2001. The names of the 749 inscribed on the interior walls, the walls themselves channel visitors to location where the two towers of the World Trade Center or Twin Towers once stood in the skyline of New York, this the name of the memorial Empty Sky. #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #iphone13pro @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera @apple @mpbcom @newjerseyisntboring @newjerseyisbeautiful #911memorial @newjerseystateparks
A statue of James J. Braddock in North Bergen NJ in the park that bears his name formerly known as North Hudson Park. I drove through the park enroute to my folks during my recent stay in NJ as this park is at the edge of the border of Hudson and Bergen counties as I was staying with my cousin who resides with his lovely family in Bergen County. The park has many wonderful memories, growing I used to run up from where I grew up, play football and tennis, many happy memories at our county park. Did not remember a statue of James Braddock it was put up in 2018 in celebration of the parks 100 anniversary, but it had been many years since I moved out of my childhood home in 1987. The famous ‘Cinderella Man’, James J. Braddock was the heavy weight boxing champion of the world from 1935 to 1937 winning the championship from Max Baer in a match held in Long Island City where Braddock was a 10 to 1 underdog. Son of Irish immigrant born on 48th Street in New York City in 1905, eventually his family including 4 brothers and 2 sisters eventually relocated to the quiet town of West New York in New Jersey across the Hudson River which is the same town where I grew up. After retiring from professional boxing in 1938 with a victory, Mr. Braddock enlisted in the Army to fight in WWII. Upon his return he worked many jobs including working on the construction of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge while raising his 3 children with his wife Mae in a house they bought in North Bergen where this park and statue are located. He would pass away in his sleep in the same home in 1974 a lifelong resident of Hudson County thus why he was honored with the renaming of the park to his name.

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
- [ ] Having raised my three children in the borough of North Arlington NJ where I resided for over 20 years where a large portion of the borough lies within the New Jersey Meadows or Meadowlands which at one point was a area loaded with white cedar, which was utilized to build burgeoning metropolis across the North River or Hudson as it is called today. The remnants of cedar were overtaken by pervasive phragmites which include as they are often referred to cattails. A natural estuary of brackish water that is a stop for thousands of migratory birds, it is an amazing story of reversal of 100 years of the Industrial Revolution’s pollution of the Passaic and Hackensack Rivers that feed the estuary. I saw such over the two decades I resided there, often riding my bicycle through the nature center that bordered my old office. This image is of the cattail variety of phragmites as the sun was setting in the New Jersey Meadowlands. - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotoweek @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamrac @tiffen @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany @njdotcom @njspots @njshooterz @newjerseyisntboring @newjerseyisbeautiful @bergencountynj
