\"Along<\/a>Back in 1982 I went wandering along Crown Point Road to see what I could see and hopefully take a few frames of 35mm Pan-X film worth the effort of developing them. I think I was trying to shoot dead things<\/em> spending a lot of time in graveyards or junkyards or businesses which had given up the ghost which appears to be the situation in the photo above. It looks like a garage that started to gather stuff that may be useful one day. You’ll never know when you’ll need a door hinge from a delivery truck.<\/em> Sadly, that day may have never come.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure where this was — somewhere along Crown Point Road.<\/p>\n

The Photo Elective<\/strong><\/p>\n

Back in the 1980s, I went to art school, and I along with all of the other illustration majors<\/strong> were required to take a minor course in photography. We had to shoot the photos as well as process the negatives and make prints. I don\u2019t recall what the particulars of the class assignments were although I can tell from looking at the negatives which were the assignments and which ones were shot just to finish off a roll. The shots to finish a roll are a lot more interesting. While my fellow students mostly resided and shot their photographs in the vibrant metropolis of Philadelphia, I lived and did most of my shooting in and around the staid and solid small town of Westville, New Jersey<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
