Schneider-Angulon-90mm

4x5 for 365 project (158/365)

in

A road-side pond in the Delaware Water Gap area of Sussex, New Jersey.  It was very windy when I shot this and with the camera and tripod being shaken ever so slightly by the wind, I knew I wasn't going to be getting the crisp shot I wanted.  I also shot it on 38mm 4x5 pinhole and that might actually turn out to be the better shot.

A series of buildings and worker's huts found at Batsto Historic Village in Hammonton, New Jersey.  Batsto Village is like a snapshot of time from our past where a small farming and industrial complex demonstrates what life was like in the 1700s and 1800s.  It has cottages, barns, a mansion, blacksmith shop, grist mill, saw mill, general store, iron furnace, glass works, ice house and a lake with a dam, all very picture worthy.  It's a nice place to spend a couple of hours photographing or to take the family.   More information on Batsto Village, on their web site: BatstoVillage.org

Originally built in 1940 by John Kofler as the "Sauconia Theater" this art-deco style theater was a source of entertainment for the Hellertown, Pennsylvania citizenry for decades.  When Kofler's daughter Ellie took over the theater operations in 1968 it was renamed "The Movies". In later years the business struggled, closing several times in the 1980s and finally closing for good in 2001.  Ellie Kofler passed away in 2002 and the building has been for sale for much of the time since then.

I wish I could have stood another two feet to my right to line this up a little better but there was a Direct TV service van parked right there and I was lucky to get any shot at all.
