I was so distracted trying to make sure I got the seagull in the shot that I didn't notice Travis' predicament until I turned around to take the next shot. He was originally sitting atop the bar between Mr. Dangly and Ms. Davenport.

(btw, that's the Ben Franklin Bridge in the background. It was built in 1926 to connect Camden, NJ and Philadelphia, PA across the Delaware River. Apparently, it cost $37,103,765.42 to make way back then. I can't even imagine how much that is in 2010 dollars.)

I turned around after taking the last shot to find Mr. Dangly dangling Travis threateningly by his tail above the Delaware River. It appears that Mr. Dangly didn't take kindly to Travis running his paw up Ms. Davenport's leg [unbeknownst to me or my niece] while we were taking THIS shot in front of Campbell's Field. My niece and I rescued him just in the nick of time.

(That's the Philadelphia skyline in the background, as seen from Camden, NJ. Click here for a better view of the skyline. After the American Revolutionary War, Philadelphia was home of the first [though temporary] Capital of the U.S., and was where our Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were debated and adopted.)

After we finished touring the Battleship New Jersey, we decided to check out Campbell's Field since we were so close. It's the stadium where the Camden Riversharks minor league baseball team plays.

Mr. Dangly and Travis egged each other on, as all boys seem to do, and the next thing I knew, they were trying to sneak under the fence to watch the players during Spring Training, but a security guard met them on the other side. Lucky for them, he released them to my custody. So, this shot is as close as we got to the players.

My niece and I thought we'd surprise Travis with a visit from his long lost cousin, Mr. Dangly and his girlfriend, Ms. Davenport (D&D, for short). You should've seen Travis' expression when we went to the Battleship New Jersey in Camden, and he spotted them waiting for us along the waterfront. His mouth was hanging open for the longest time. I finally had to say, "Breath, Travis. Breath!"

Obviously this is not a typical shot for me. But a friend of mine requested it.
So I thought the best way to present it was by giving it a real vintage look.
And hey!!! I'm getting a free Nikon D3 out of it so pretty good trade off, I think.
Thanks Peter.

The USS New Jersey Battleship
Delaware River, Camden, New Jersey.

From Wikipedia

USS New Jersey (BB-62), ("Big J" or "Black Dragon") is an Iowa-class battleship, and was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named in honor of the U.S. state of New Jersey. New Jersey earned more battle stars for combat actions than the other three completed Iowa-class battleships, and is the only US battleship to provide gunfire support during the Vietnam War.
During World War II, New Jersey shelled targets on Guam and Okinawa, and screened aircraft carriers conducting raids in the Marshall islands. During the Korean War, she was involved in raids up and down the North Korean coast, after which she was decommissioned into the United States Navy reserve fleets, better known as the "mothball fleet". She was briefly reactivated in 1968 and sent to Vietnam to support U.S. troops before returning to the mothball fleet in 1969. Reactivated once more in the 1980s as part of the 600-ship Navy program, New Jersey was modernized to carry missiles and recommissioned for service. In 1983, she participated in U.S. operations during the Lebanese Civil War.
New Jersey was decommissioned for the last time in 1991, having earned a Navy Unit Commendation for service in Vietnam and 19 battle and campaign stars for combat operations during World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Lebanese Civil War, and service in the Persian Gulf. After a brief retention in the mothball fleet, she was donated to the Home Port Alliance in Camden, New Jersey, and began her career as a museum ship 15 October 2001.

juillet 2009 - Jean-Christian Bourcart's exhibit "Camden, NJ" at Les Ateliers SNCF during Les Rencontres Internationales de la Photographie d'Arles.

Bourcart is a 49-year-old French photographer living in New York City. It was interesting to see his perspective on Camden, a city just 3 miles from where I grew up. I didn't spend a lot of time in Camden when I was young, but I did work as a teacher at a school there for three months 2002. I got to know Camden and a number of Camden residents while I was working there.

Bourcart's images are easy to find in Camden and don't surprise me. For me, they don't capture the complexity of the people and the city, a complexity Bourcart must feel (because he writes about it in the introduction of his exhibit) but didn't really show me.
