Summer on the Delaware

Every year I invite photographers to be part of the Summer on the Delaware photo project.

Fourteen photographers took part this year generating photos that share their vision of summertime on the Delaware River. One photo per photographer is being exhibited Saturday Sept 1 and continuing through September 2nd to coincide with Frenchtown’s exuberant Riverfest Celebrations.…

Hunterdon County Agricultural & 4-H Fair 2018

Hunterdon County Agricultural & 4-H Fair 2018

The 4H used to be part of the larger Flemington Fair which was the big Hunterdon County event from 1848 until 1999 when it ceased. The historic fair grounds soon morphed into a Walmart.

Not to be thwarted, several members of the Hunterdon County Board of Agriculture formed a committee to continue the local exhibition of 4-H and agricultural displays. (http://www.hunterdoncountyfair.com/general/history).

I used to be more interested in the rides and the sideshow when my parents took me to the fair but now I love the whole atmosphere.  We are slowly urbanizing so who knows how long this will last.

Disasters

The owner of Galassos Pizza, Joe Galasso, watches as firefighters dowse the smokey remains of his life’s work.  My building is just two doors down and has been hit with fires more than once itself, once in 1940 and another just a few years ago.

Nothing is permanent and everything is fragile.…

FREELANCING

Freelancers don’t work for anyone. Freelancers works for anyone.
A gig is a gig.

If you do work to earn money then you do things that people pay you for. If you have a job you are working to earn money for yourself and someone else. It’s a job.

If you are a freelancer you are earning money so you can continue doing what you do.

Working for someone else, having a job, has it’s benefits. Ideally, your company values and supports you and in return you provide value for it and its clients
