NYC Area LF Outings - March 8th & 15th

[Pete Roody]

Hi all,

There will be a group of us taking pictures in the NYC area on the next 2 Saturdays.

The first outing will be Saturday, March 8th, at Coney Island.

We will meet at the entrance of the New York Aquarium at 9:00am.

The aquarium entrance is located at the corner of Surf Avenue and West 8th Street.
You can park all day in the Aquarium parking lot for ~$10 or you can sometimes find
free parking across the street.

I am picking Alan up at Penn Station and have room for one or two more. Call or PM me if you need a ride.

If you get there later in the day, just call my cell (1-917-940-7510) to meet up.

The next picture taking outing will be to Passaic County, New Jersey on Saturday, March 15th. Specifically, we will meet at the Passaic (Great) Falls in Paterson in the morning. We can then go to the Long Pond Ironworks and the Ringwood Manor if time permits.

The Passaic (Great) Falls are in Paterson, NJ. The adjacent area has a few interesting
places to shoot besides the falls. We could stay in this area in the morning and move to the Ringwood area in the afternoon. The Long Pond Iron Works is near Ringwood, and there are several manors in Ringwood including the Ringwood Manor.

Paterson is about a 40 minute drive from Manhattan.

We can meet at the parking lot in Overlook Park (72 McBride Avenue Ext, Paterson,
New Jersey) at 9:00am.

I have room in my car for 2 additional people from Manhattan if you need a ride.

George Tice is known for his photos of Paterson and the Great Falls if you want
to see examples of what we will be shooting.

The Long Pond Iron Works was a foundry that was used in the 1700's through the
Civil War. There are ruins of the original foundry and old buildings throughout
the property.

The Manors are open to the public and have interesting landscapes and gardens.

These outings are open to anyone who is interested in taking pictures or just hanging out. We have people coming from NYC, NJ, upstate NY, PA and CT.

Hope to see you there,

Pete

as usual i will be there! i am going to try and arrive a bit early cause i got to leave at about 3pm. so if any of you early birds are out getting the worm let me know. i will shoot for 8am.

the guys in Ca are having nude models and free beer! can we compete with that? maybe we can just lie about it!

I heard that the models are male nudes and that is why the beer is free.

Just thought I would try and make you feel better eddie!!!

Eddie, you don't mind take little bit cloth off, do you?

Let's say if we have enough Chamonix here in the east, maybe we also can ask some help from the factory to pay the beer tab.

[eddie]

I AM FREE! be warned. i am able to stay all day into the night! so now i can enjoy all that free beer!

So far we have a good turnout projected for both outings.

For Coney Island:

Eddie, Thandar, Alec, Alex, Arthur, Bruce, Robert, Alan, and Tim are going. A few more might come. Did I miss anyone?

I will be giving a ride to Alan and Tim (and friend) from Manhattan.

The only problem could be the weather. Heavy rain is predicted for Saturday.

The weathermen have got it wrong a few times so I think we should wait (until Friday pm) before making any decisions.

I think it would be a good idea to exchange cell #'s again. If you pm me, I will get the numbers to everyone.

It would be a lot of fun shooting larger format in the rain

The weather man was wrong last Sat. Let's see if this time they can get it right.

If it's rains, we go for plan B, which is go inside and shoot naked Eddie
