A Walk in My Backyard (Sort of)

Travel is always exciting and brings new subjects for photographic exploration. It is much harder to walk down your block and find something to capture. The subjects are there, but we become so accustomed to our immediate surroundings that we don’t “see” the interesting. Recently I went on a “photo walk” with a friend to the Deserted Village in the Watchung Reservation. I grew up with the Reservation close by and have been through the roads and hung out there, but had never been to the Deserted Village. Something new, an adventure, and something interesting to photograph.
