Please take note, all the material you see here is new to the web and is from my collection.  It will take some time to go through thirty years of photographs to find ones good enough to be presented here.  Why am I doing this?  Lacking the storage and ability to present my photos, all of this has been sitting in slide trays for several years untouched.  What good is taking a photo if you cannot share your work with others!  Please enjoy and allow some patience as the new additions will take some time to post.

Thanks are in order to Mr. Paul Carpentino for allowing many of his photos on the CNJ, LV and Reading pages.  Lastly, may I thank my long time friend, Gary Madden for allowing me to include some of his photos to these pages.
