This blog started out as a blog about New Jersey and what was happening in this great state. But I was bored. Then the blog evolved into a personal blog about my life and my take on life in New Jersey, and also to post photographs taken mostly in New Jersey. I was hooked! I love both writing and photography!
New Jersey gets a bad rap. It is a beautiful state. Yes, the view from the Turnpike is ugly, but every state has an industrial section. Trust me, New Jersey has beautiful beaches and gorgeous countryside. I hope to take photos of all of it! New Jersey also has a proud part in the history of the United States, dating back to pre-Revolutionary War days.
The funny thing is that after I started writing about New Jersey, the state suddenly became cool. I think the Sopranos started it. By the way, I don't know anyone who acts like the cast members of Jersey Shore, Jerseylicious or Real Housewives of New Jersey! Please! Many of them are NOT from New Jersey anyway!
About my photos: Most of my current photographs (cherry blossoms, irises, etc.) are taken with a Sigma SA-7 35mm camera.
Sometimes I take shots with my cell phone camera (souffle, Costco photos).
My early photos on this blog (Haunted Hospitals) were taken with a very old Advantix camera.
I now own a digital camera and will be using it soon!
