Jersey City Parking


A few weeks ago I went to Jersey City to look for photo ops. I had been hearing so much about how wonderful the waterfront area of the city has become and I hadn't really had the opportunity to explore it. I will tell you this, I love what they have been doing and it is really becoming quite a lovely waterfront city.

Jersey City is conveniently located directly across from Manhattan and is a very easy commute. Many young professionals have moved here from Manhattan for the lower cost of living. There are lovely townhouses and high rises and many of the neighborhoods are experiencing a wonderful renaissance.

One of the things that goes along with city dwelling like this is the problem of parking. It didn't seem to be as bad as trying to park in Hoboken, another neighboring, wonderful, waterfront city in NJ, but it was still not like parking in my little suburban town.

This is the first in my series on Jersey City. I have many photos and I'm not sure how long the series will run. I hope you enjoy this little peek into Jersey City.

This photo of the Bucknell Quad is a 2 page feature photo in the Summer 2008 issue of Bucknell Magazine.

As of July 2008 I have decided to post the same photos on "Parallel Universe" as I do here. It has become too complicated to maintain two different photoblogs on a regular basis. Feel free to visit "Parallel Universe" and look through the portfolio/archives since there are quite a few photos there that were never posted here. I will continue to post on both since each one gets different viewers.

Check out my other Photoblog portfolio/archives:

you've composed it very nicely. it's interesting how the cars at the forefront keep getting slightly more distanced from the pavement...or probably that's just an optical illusion!

The photograph with angle that was good produced the perspective of beautiful space. A configuration of the car with the famous make. The idea and the good imagination. Regards from YOGYAKARTA INDONESIA.
