NJ Door: Church on the Green Hackensack

The First Reformed Church of Hackensack, NJ is one of the oldest houses of worship in the state. It was organized in 1686. This doorway of the 1869 facade looks towards the Begen County Court House and Jail Complex. It's cematary contains Revolutionary War patriots such as General Poor and it's sandstone facade has carved names of some of the founding families such as the Berry's.

The Doorway to the American Rail Road

This is the center door of the Rogers Locomotive & Metal Works c. 1871. The majority of United States Locomotives were manufactored in Paterson, NJ from 1860s to the 1920s. Once completed these huge engines rolled out through these large doors and onto the nations railroads.

Yet another door...

This is the front door of the Hermitage in Ho Ho Hokus, NJ

Better even

Not so cranky now

Ok I flew off the blog. I thought the first image I posted was a broken link and wouldn't display and the world sucked and this internet thing would never work. But Ottie who was my first visitor said she viewed the image and sure enough when I came back it was there! I know Big Deal right? Well now I'm thinking I will work this thing a bit more to see how it plays. So maybe another door or so.... Oh letss hit some of the buutons to see what this all does color is nice. http://www.TazStudios.com

Cranky Second Post

Well maybe it's not as easy as Mr. Blogger promised. I shot off the first post and attached a file to upload the image. It was all sized nice at 72dpi with the text to flow around a right justified image in a black field (just like the one you're reading this high contrasty text on) but all I get is a broken link little box with an X in it. Bastaids! Now I have to go back and think and that always gives me headaches. THIS IS THE REASON I BECAME A PHOTOGRAPHER... I DON'T want TO THNK!

In the beginning there was blog...

Woah... that was way too easy! In three stoopidly simple steps I was tricked into created this blog. So as of 10:08 Nov. 27th 2006 this space is now open and now waiting for me to do something a bit more creative.

Ok, so lets get going here... I just got back from shooting the front door of the White Manna restaurant in Hackensack. I captured this image because I am sending down a collection of historic front doors to the State (NJ) Historic Preservation Office in Trenton. SHPO (sometimes pronounced as Shippo or more generally Schphooo) is designing what seems to be a poster of images of historic NJ doorways. This will be done to commemorate the 40th Anniversaries of the National Historic Preservation Act (1966), NJ Historic Trust (1967) and NJ Historic Sites Council (1967)... pretty auspicious stuff. So I think I will post up the picture along with the other ones to get this party started...
