A stroll around town.

I Feel that I may not be in NJ for much longer. So I have been spending more time with my father taking walks down memory lane. We have been taking strolls around the town i grew up in. My fathers side of the family was very involved with this town and are a huge part of the history of this town. My father and i armed with cameras tried to capture some of both our family history (or what is left of it here) as well as some of the towns history. Here are a few shots with a breif explaination. I hope you enjoy.

                               This first Picture is of our family Head stone at our local Cemetary

This church stands in front of the cemetary in which my family lays at rest.

It was also the church my mother married my Step Father.

And The church I married my husband at.

This was my familys Bank Back before I born .

A random Grave stone of beauty that stands tall in the cemetary

An infred shot of a gravestone that caught my eye

This picture has nothing to do with my family but the wording caught my eye as unique.

A veiw of the NY skyline and Ellis Island with the Twin Towers missing But the freedom tower in the process of being built

memories from the past

Our lady Liberty

A trip to the Zoo

A Shore Memory

As a Kid i remember my mother taking me to the Jersey Shore Boardwalks. I wanted to recreate A walk down memory lane and my friends and their children were kind enough to let me take some Pictures of them having fun down at the Jersey Shore. I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as i did taking them.

The thrill of the rides

The Memories That Stay with us.

                       The Thrill of Trying new foods. Theres nothing like the first bite of a fried Oreo

                                                            The laughs That are shared

The Games That we play

The prizes To be won

The sweet smell of cotton candy

The freedom of not wearing shoes.

The lights and the sounds

The Crane games That keep us trying

The joy of winning

The smell of the ocean breeze

a little mini golf amongst friends

I couldnt have said it better myself.

Lomography And The Abandoned Barrics of Sandy Hook NJ

Ive taken 2 trips down to the old abandoned barrics of Sandy Hook NJ. One was with a few Photographer Friends i look forward to working with again and the 2nd trip down was with my father for an early fathers day adventure filled with lost and forgotten History and a common love and intrest in Photography. Both of these days were great.

This First Picture is A beautiful Piece Of drift wood That landed amongst a beautiful landscape.
