The Grind

January 26, 2021 by Greg Molyneux

14mm square format photo depicts a fiery sunset over the lake framed between the contrasted silhouettes of two small pine trees.

Tectonic forces do their work. Ploughing their inescapable hell slowly and without discrimination. They grind—hard. Such is their subtlety as to be motionless to the eye though with a power as immovable as gravity.

Up at Night

December 12, 2020 by Greg Molyneux

14mm wide angle astrophotography image of a star filled night sky captured atop the unique New Jersey Pinelands' pygmy pine trees.

Ben Wurst, Jon Carr, and I made our way to the New Jersey Pinelands’ pygmy pine forest where we tried our best at making astrophotography on a clear, moonless night. The visibility was excellent, and shooting stars dashed the night sky on regular intervals. Honestly, I didn’t even care about the photographs I was making, I was just happy to be out having unexpected fun with friends.

Intersections

November 27, 2020 by Greg Molyneux

14mm wide angle sunset photo reflected over the lake at Stafford Forge Wildlife Management Area. Pastel colored clouds form an X shape pattern water reflected in symmetry as sunset gives way to blue hour.

Where does the writing go when you set out with nary an end nor a goalpost. How does it flow? Set out on The Union Market deck I let my mind snake its way through the labyrinth at the tip of ten fingers. Is this how one gets into creative writing?

In My Own Time

November 20, 2020 by Greg Molyneux

14mm wide angle sunset photograph made at Stafford Forge Wildlife Management Area. Intensely vibrant pastel hues color an array of clouds pulled across the sky reflecting atop the undulating pond water.

We find help for our mind, body, and soul in many places. Some planned and intention, others serendipitous and seemingly sent by coincidence if not fate. It is important to avail ourselves to help, especially in the times it is most difficult to do so. And no matter how hard it gets we can always come back to our breath. It’s the one thing nothing but death can take from us.

Remind Up Rewind

November 15, 2018 by Greg Molyneux

Upward facing 35mm photograph of blue sky and pine trees.

Holy smokes Greg posted a photograph? In 2018? 2018, the year of slack, rages on, but here at least is a small reminder to myself and the world, I do, in fact, make photographs. From time to time. I had the luxury to visit Wells Mills County Park and my wonderful Rose reminded me of […]

The Forest and the Trees

August 18, 2018 by Greg Molyneux

14mm wide angle photograph of Pinelands pine trees and ferns.

On June 16, 2018, I had the opportunity to photograph Baker’s Acres Campground in Little Egg Harbor, NJ. A wooded, family forward establishment, Baker’s Acres offers a picturesque retreat for any and all campers. Nestled off Garden State Parkway exit 58, Baker’s Acres is a secluded getaway so good at maintaining a low profile I […]

Frame It

NJ Pinelands photo of a controlled burn smoke plume training across the horizon at sunset.

It’s a quarter to eight on March 2, 2017, and I am whiling away the hours until Nintendo unleashes its latest bundle of joy upon the world. As midnight strikes across timezones the world over the Nintendo Switch, and, more importantly, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will begin its quest into consumer homes […]

Controlled Burn

February 20, 2017 by Greg Molyneux

NJ Pinelands controlled burn photo of a smoke plume at sunset.

Controlled burning—or prescribed burning, whichever your flavor—has marked the skies of southern Ocean County with plumes of smoke the past few days. Capitalizing on warmth and wind local officials have taken to their annual task of culling New Jersey’s Pinelands of restrictive low-level growth. Fire is the lifeblood of a healthy forest ecosystem, and controlled […]

Ephemeral Paradise

February 5, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

High key landscape snow photography of the New Jersey Pinelands

The winds of change blew through the coastal Mid-Atlantic region turning 60 degree temperatures and rain on Thursday into a fleeting winter wonderland come Friday. The predawn hours saw a changeover to snow from west to east as an over-performing coastal low pressure developed along a stalled cold front just off the coast. While there […]
