Walled Off

October 6, 2020 by Greg Molyneux

35mm sepia photograph of an old wooden structure marked by leading lines, knotted wood, and a rusted iron locking loop.

Located in Wharton State Forest in Hammonton, New Jersey, Batsto Village makes for a great outdoor destination. This historic old iron works town dating back to the 18th century is a portal to the past. It’s an idyllic destination for photographers of all stripes.

Fall Foliage: The Best of Batsto Village in Autumn

November 1, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

A golden hour HDR photograph of the Batsto Village Mansion framed behind a large maple tree ablaze in Fall color orange leaves

Batsto Village—Wharton State Forest—Hammonton, New Jersey There’s much to love about New Jersey and its southern pines. But for me Batsto Village in Fall just may hold the Pinelands top spot. Rich in maples, colors come alive transforming this once thriving iron works village into a canvas of orange wonder amidst architecture of an era gone […]

Low key black and white photograph uses strong lines in front of backlit sun to a repetitive effect

When shooting wide angle have some fun working angles in tight spaces. It’s here where these rectilinear lenses really shine. Photowalking Batsto Village yesterday, I poked my nose inside this weird barn-esque pseudo covered bridge type building sided in evenly spaced, repetitive wood slats. I only call it weird because I’ve never seen anything like […]

Day 2 of 5: It’s anyone’s story

October 18, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

In this black and white photograph, strong leading lines move the eye through this olde tyme porch where an old wood bench sat steady for a lifetime of stories, friendship and support.

Wow that really tells a story. I don’t know what story, but yeah. Some friends and I made our way to Batsto Village this afternoon. Founded in the late 1700s, this preserved iron town is one of the pearls of Wharton State Forest. We, and about four dozen other photographers, made the best of the […]
