JUNE PHOTO NIGHT OUT
FEATURING TED ADAMS and JOSEPH VAN BLUNK
8:00 PM, Thur., June 28, 2007
This series of photographs taken aboard tugboat Nancy McAllister started as a collaboration between photographer Ted Adams and filmmaker/writer Joseph Van Blunk. In Van Blunk's Second Street neighborhood, long famous for Mummers and politicians, the lore and employment provided by the Delaware River waterfont have created a backdrop for residents' lives since the 18th century. Van Blunk himself works as a longshoreman -- and thanks to his brother Bob, Captain of tugboat Nancy, they were able to shoot this series.
The presentation evokes feelings of life on the river rather than the nuts-and-bolts documentation of operating a tugboat, but also provides plenty of material for those who are interested in boats from a technical perspective. Members of the tugboat crew will also be present to answer questions.
