Heldrich Hotel Photography Exhibition : Where: 10 Livingston Ave, New Brunswick, NJ 08901 (The Heldrich Hotel) Date: June 28, 2011 Time: 6:00pm–8:00pm New Brunswick, New Jersey: "Urban Landscapes” -- an exhibit of new High Dynamic Range imagery by Mr. Allison Brown -- opens on June 28, 2011 in The Public Gallery at The Heldrich Hotel, 10 Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick. A public reception from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. officially opens the exhibition which illustrates Brown’s passion for light, intensity and long exposures captured by his camera. “Whenever and wherever I travel I always keep my camera at my side. And through the photographic image I preserve not only the visual memories of people and places but also the emotions experienced while on my journey,” Brown notes. The images in “Urban Landscapes” come from morning and evening walks along New Jersey's "Gold Coast", Manhattan's East River and the streets of his hometown of South Orange, New Jersey. “Urban Landscapes” will run through Labor Day.

Liberty State Park - Central Railroad of NJ : A three-story, eclectic Victorian Era-style head terminal opened in 1889. Built by Peabody & Stearns of Boston, the red brick structure has (Henry Hobson) Richardson-style elements. They include a steep pitched roof with dormers on the third floor, prominent arched windows, cupola, and tower with clock facing the waterfront. The interior includes a concourse, ticket office, and waiting room of English buff-colored glazed brick walls on the first floor. Iron and wood hydraulic bridges, outside the front doors of the terminal, assisted commuters to board waiting ferries traveling to New York City. The ceiling of the waiting room is supported by red, iron trusses in a starburst design. Red, iron buttresses with a wreath design also appear under the balcony in the waiting room. The terminal complex was expanded in 1914 with a double-deck ferry shed (subsequently razed). A new Bush-type train shed, the largest ever to be constructed and designed by A. Lincoln Bush, replaced an earlier structure. The train shed of over 300,000 square feet, west of the head terminal, covers twenty tracks and twelve passenger platforms "through a series of pitched concrete roofs. With spans ranging from 39 feet to 49 feet, the shed measures 390 feet by 815 feet" (Larkens 8). Rows of Ionic columns run the length of the train shed to support the roof. The Black Tom explosion in 1916 that occurred south of the terminal damaged the train shed. The opening of the new terminal occurred with the time of heaviest immigration to the United States from Europe. It is estimated that from 1890 to 1915 9-to-12 million immigrants were processed for entry at Ellis Island and entered the country via the terminal. Into the railway terminal complex also came freight cars with coal. Coal from Pennsylvania was shipped to the terminal piers and taken by barges to New York. Other facilities at the terminal complex were a marine repair yard, steamship piers, freight piers, storage yards, freight yards, and a roundhouse at Communipaw. According to Robert Larkens, "The terminal was no mere train station. It was a railroad maritime passenger terminal, an inter-modal facility where people change from one mode of transportation to another". Railway trains brought passengers to the terminal; they transferred to ferries to New York City's Liberty Street Ferry Terminal or to buses to local New Jersey communities. Over the decades, the CRRNJ added new passenger lines coming into the terminal. For example, in 1902, the "Queen of Valley" express passenger train began its run between Jersey City and Harrisburg, PA. The "Blue Comet" railway train traveled between Jersey City to Atlantic City from 1929 to 1941. Among the amenities the Blue Comet offered passengers were dining, baggage, and sleeping cars.

After the Storm: Gantry Plaza and the Great Falls : After the storms this past week it was time to find the beauty it had left behind. Here are a few photos from an early morning photo adventure from Gantry Plaza in Long Island City, NY to the Great Falls in Paterson, NJ. Because our Saturday Morning photo shoot was overcast I went back on Sunday to take a few more photos during a spectacular Sunrise. (The photos are looking west with the sunrise behind me.)
