This is quite an unusual discovery that Walker Evan one of the great American Photographers of the “Great Depression” Era actually took some remarkable and framed photos of Bethlehem in 1935. I’m quite inspired by him and wanted to do some research about his journey around Bethlehem. There are many write-ups about him and his works on the web. The cemetery is the well-known “St John Cemetery” at 4th Street in South Bethlehem. Its quite a place to take photographs and many interesting shots can be attributed to this small cemetery. At least once a year some well known photographers from around the world will come here to take the “Walker Evan’s Shot”. But never the same or like the original photos because no one knows for sure where and at what angle he pointed his 10X12 camera. This is why he is such a remarkable and accomplished photographer. This is my poor attempt of the “Walker Evan’s Shot” after many trips to the cemetery. I can roughly guessed the exact spot he stood when he took the framed “Bethlehem PA 1936” and “4th Street” photographs since its not a big place and there are only so many spots he can used but the stunning feature is also his remarkable editing and patch works. Since its about 70 years ago the cemetery has changed and due to vandalism many of the tombstones were damaged and new ones were put there replacing the old tombstones. The great thing about historic and long gone photographers is their works are still cherished and kept for memories but sad part is can’t ask them “how did you managed to take that shot?”. That’s also the one question I asked when I see those great shots on Redbubble…good now I’m going to see who is posting; maybe some days I will be famous ;-))

A couple of years ago, I designed this image and sent it to family and friends as a Christmas greeting. The photo is of a stained glass window in a lovely old Catholic church in southern Louisiana.

Now a very nice restaurant with great food and unique atmosphere. I like eating in the basement where it is tight and intimate amongst the stone foundations of the building.

This is one of the main intersections in downtown Bethlehem. Bethlehem is known as the Christmas City. It has wonderful charm to it’s downtown with great street lights and a practice of street entertainment during several festivals throughout the year. Musikfest is one of the largest music festivals in the country and draws a crowd of over a million people over it’s 10 day run.

This image makes me think of times past. This is looking across the Lehigh River to the south side of Bethlehem. In the past it was an area of blue collar workers, many who were immigrants of German, Irish, and Polish decent. It was an area of row homes and deep faith in both God and the human experience. It was a time of families that passed work at the steel mill on from generation to generation. The air was bad and smog was trapped by the south mountains rising up behind the city. Somehow people survived, raised families, maintained. The steel is gone now and most of the people living on the south side are involved in a mirid of service jobs from working at Lehigh University to truck driving to working in one of the many distribution centers that have grown up in the area. The air is much better now but on occassion a gentle fog rolls in from the river and brings back the memories of times past.

Bethlehem Steel was once one of the mighty industrial complexes in America. The plant was about half-a-mile wide and over five miles long as it stretched like a huge python through Bethlehem’s south side along the Lehigh River. During WWII seven furnaces roared 24/7 as tens of thousands of workers built the steel machinery and parts that helped win the war. The 16” guns on the mighty battleships were manufactured here. Before, during, and after the war, The Steel provided the super structures for most of the great buildings and bridges in New York and Philadelphia. Now for several years the plant has been closed. A victim of the smaller and more agile mini mills and the price of imported steel, all operations finally ceased. The still standing blast furnaces are a sad reminder to the glory days of this past great business.

This is part of a once mighty building that was part of Bethlehem Steel. The “Steel” as it was called locally, once stretched for 5 1/2 miles through the south side of Bethlehem, PA. All production stopped there several years ago. / This is a sad tribute to the decay of American Industry.

Photographed in the beautiful forest of St. Loy on the far South West coast of Cornwall UK. The forest , bisected by a stream, runs gently down to a rocky beach. At the beach is a traditional Cornish Cottage which doubles as a cafe which having sampled it’s wares is excellent. It has a beautiful well stocked garden carved out of the forest. The garden also slopes gently down to the rocky shore. Star of Bethlehem – Bach Flower remedy. Negative state: for consolation and comfort in grief, after a fright or sudden alarm. Positive state: balance and harmony. Emotional state: for despondency and despair. (Also in this group are: Crab Apple, Elm, Larch, Oak, Pine, Sweet Chestnut, Willow). For those in great distress under conditions which for a time produce great unhappiness. The shock of serious news, the loss of some one dear, the fright following an accident, and such like. For those who for a time refuse to be consoled this remedy brings comfort.

I saw this statue at the entry of an Abbey in Bethlehem, Connecticut. Besides its obvious beauty I found the spider web behind the baby Jesus head reminded me of a halo. It is sometimes a wonder by creatures great and small.

This is a door in a section of downtown Bethlehem, PA known for it’s fine older homes. The light hanging above the door is a Moravian Star. Moravians settled Bethlehem in the mid-1700’s and the star along with the name of Bethlehem have caused the city to be known as the Christmas City. The star is seen in many incarnations in and around the city including a very large one up on South Mountain that can be seen for miles around the area.

A foggy morning is beginning to disolve. These houses sit across the tracks from Bethlehem, Steel which is now completely shut down.

Listen Mary, did you know / by Mark Lowry Mary, did you know / That your baby boy / Would someday walk on water? / Mary did you know / That your baby boy / Will save our sons and daughters? / Did you know / That your baby boy / Has come to make you new? / This child that you’ve delivered / Will soon deliver you.

Keystone State Group (KSG) Shoot at Bethlehem, PA

August 8th, the Keystone State Group (KSG) met at Bethlehem to do a group shoot and to meet fellow members of Redbubble. To our surprise, Bridges (Mike) invited members of the Hillcrest Camera Club from New Jersey (just across the state line and with members from New Jersey and Pennsylvania) to join us for the day. And what a great day it was. We made a lot of new friends and everyone had a great time. Mike and I even talked about having the camera club come to a shoot around Harrisburg. Elisab made the journey from Pittsburgh and it was nice to see her again. Elisab posted a group shot here and has a few comments about the shoot. Please watch for the upload of other photos as we all sort through the dozens of shots taken. We also gained another member – Christopher L. Moore so please stop by to give him some support and encouragement as he learns his way around RB.
