Sara & Ryan
This is the reason why I could never be a wedding photographer. I like candid shots and hate all those stiff poses.
The Ambassador and Mrs. Maas
The Incognito Triplets. Renèe looks like an angel with that halo wreath. (ooh… I gave away her identity!)
Mason
Michael and Mason
Michael actually called me over to take these pictures. Once I got over the shock, I was happy to do it. Dante, Michael and Mason
Bandana napkins make some people so happy!
Joanne and Renée
Debbie
Dante and Family
Pete and Danielle
The new Dynasty. Next Fall on NBC. A story of two son-in-laws bent on revenge.
Nobody can dance like Nancy
Empty Sky and Skyline
The Empty Sky Memorial at Liberty State Park
(just for fun… this picture of Abbie was taken -in 2009- from this very view before the memorial was built)
A foggy night where no Super Moon ever appeared for me.
To Boldly Go…
The Space Shuttle Enterprise atop its ride to NYC. Just another day at work.

The Great Swamp
I’m not vouching for the greatness of the Great Swamp. All I know is that I had my car washed today and something drew me to drive for miles on dirt and rocks through a swamp. It’s a wildlife refuge and I’m not vouching for that, either. I saw 2 ducks and 2 geese. I have little interest in ducks and geese.
Maybe I’ll go back in Spring for the migration of the swamp monkeys.
One for the viewer collection.
Hydro-Pruf
With my fondness for abandoned buildings, I have wanted to photograph this place for as long as I can remember. I actually like signs and this one was a favorite. Originally HYDRO-PRUF, I really only remember it ever being HYDRO P UF.
There’s nowhere up top to take a picture and the place is littered with vagrants and toxic chemicals (enough to rot your shoes while you walk – though I think it’s liquid tar). The letters are going fast, and so was I. I did the best I could at 70mph. I figured I’d better get something before it was completely gone.
The Arkansas Chemical Company is long gone and the EPA did a cleanup (Jersey style) after the Superfund Act of 1980. 1.7 acres of prime, highway accessible Newark real estate.
