General Notes
Note
Notes: Photographer's 2013 comments:
I was walking around looking for interesting things to shot. I just so happened to be walking along the river when a mass of black suvs and state police pulled up and blocked off the pier. I knew from walking along Washington St that media outlets where setting up for a press conference and they expected Gov. Chris Christie.
I was one of only a few people down by the pier and I did not see any news camera men. I only had My 35mm lens with me and I was set back far from the action. I decided to shoot anyways and lucky for me I got a few good shots. I did have to crop this one far which led me to convert it to black and what to preserve viewing quality.
