In June 2006, my nephew graduated high school in Yardley, PA. I drove my mother and her husband to my sister's home there so they could attend the ceremony. I made the best of my time by visiting various historic areas of interest.

Ellis Island & Statue of Liberty

June 22, 2006

My departure point for the ferry. The Central Railroad of New Jersey Terminal.

You wake up to an overcast day and you want to go visit the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. You hauled all of your camera equipment with you, waited in line to go through the security checkpoints and then realize that none of the photos will turn out well due to lack of good lighting. What do you do?

You play tourist, circa 1905! So I grabbed my Kodak Brownie snapshot camera (paid a $1 for it), loaded in the 6 exposure film cartridge (another 15 cents), paid the $.10 for the ferry and went to go see this new statue in the harbor, after all it's been there for almost 20 years already!

Here are my photos from my trip into the harbor. I had to wait 25 days to get the film developed from Macy's. Can't wait until they come out with color photographs! Enjoy.

(OK, use your imagination here kids!)
