Photography...........the way I see it (Moderated by BLeafe) / Re: Upcoming documentary on some local people you know from TV (March 30, 7pm!)
« Last post by BLeafe on Yesterday at 11:01:01 AM »
Curious about this great movie? There's going to be a screening tomorrow night - Thursday, March 30, 2023 - at 7pm in the Glen Rock High School auditorium (where the original December 2, 2021 reunion concert took place). Tickets - which you can get here: https://tinyurl.com/BandedTix - are $10 (and going fast).

Most of the band - including Uncle Floyd Vivino - will be present. There will be an after-screening audience/band Q&A and perhaps a couple of other surprises.

I got a surprise this morning when I opened up my copy of The Record and found a GREAT - and very thorough - article by Jim Beckerman about this event.

I expected the article to maybe be on the front page of the entertainment section, but it actually made it to the front page (1A!) of the main section! You can read it here:

Hackensack Discussion / Sunday morning girls football in March/April at the Middle School?
« Last post by BLeafe on March 20, 2023, 11:07:55 AM »
It's usually pretty quiet around here on Sunday mornings, but not yesterday. I heard men yelling and my ears pointed my eyes south toward the Middle School where I saw activity on the soccer pitch: kids running around and men throwing footballs.

Shoot first and ask questions later. The first 8 pictures are what I saw in the order I saw them. Then I asked Google the questions and the answers included something about the Bergen County Girls Flag Football League, its logo and the fact that games will be starting on Sunday, April 2.

Photography...........the way I see it (Moderated by BLeafe) / New career?

1. Anybody remember this shot from 11 years ago? It appeared here (second shot): http://www.hackensacknow.org/index.php/topic,2352

2. It's now the front cover of a book of poetry. Whodathunkit?

Unfortunately, the cover is WAY too dark (I brightened it up a bit here) and the bird must have eaten my photo credit. The author assures me that both problems will be corrected.

Hackensack Discussion / Very Tall New Electrical Poles on River St
« Last post by BLeafe on March 13, 2023, 03:45:01 PM »
1. On February 7, I happened to notice from my living room that some colorful orange work was being done on an electrical pole on River St.

2. Soon after, I saw a much taller pole that was at about a 45º angle being raised.

3. That was a pretty easy sequence to shoot.

4. Four days later, I'm on the Teaneck Greenway and notice the same pole, the picture window I shot it from and how really tall it is.

5. Exactly a month after that, the sun is shining on a bunch of new River St poles and their really-up-there wires.


Is this going to happen all over town? What's the main reason for such an increase in height?

Hackensack Discussion / Teterboro Airport-bound jets over Hackensack Hospital 2-13-23
« Last post by BLeafe on February 17, 2023, 07:35:46 PM »
This is the story that's in the video's writeup.............and be sure to crank up the sound for full effect (and please hit the "Watch on YouTube" link so the view counts):


It was busy at the hospital, so I had to park on the roof of the parking garage.

There's a nice view up there, so after my appointment, I took a few photos..............and then I heard a plane. It was a private jet heading for Teterboro Airport, which is about 3 miles south of where I was standing.

Time for a quick switch to video.

There's been a big stink for years about the noise and pollution of many aircraft flying low - directly over the hospital (and many high-rise apartment buildings on the same street) - and new routes were proposed that were to take the planes over a nearby highway instead.

They might need to work on that a little harder. Here are 4 planes that flew directly overhead in a period of...............EIGHT MINUTES!

And be sure to follow the bouncing sun reflection ball.
