DARE 2007 Mock Accident : Wednesday, November 14th, 2007: The photos in this gallery were taken during a period of less than 1 hour. This scenario was a co-ordinated effort by the Schuylkill Haven Police Department, the Schuylkill Haven Fire Department, the Pottsville & Schuylkill Haven Lions Club Ambulance, the Schuylkill Haven School District and other volunteers. It's primary mission is to educate on the dangers of drinking and driving. Perhaps this made a difference in saving at least 1 premature death when these students become drivers. (We probably will never know.)

Stone Archway Bridge, East Brunswick Township : This is an old stone bridge that is located adjacent to the Little Schuylkill River on Mill Mountain Road, south of Sleepy Hollow Road. It spans a small feeder stream that during high waters, the stocked trout use as haven from the raging river. In several of the photos, you can see trout entering the stream from below the bridge.

These are the photos of the new Briggs & Stratton Vanguard 23 HP Horizontal engine installed by Pat & Jesse O'Boyles of PJ's Repair, Frackville, PA. Note: The "drop-in" replacement kit did not fit as stated and several custom fits needed to be performed to "make-it-right." This gallery is for anyone with a similar Ingersol or Case tractor to see how it is done.

When Coal Was King : In 1790, Necho Allen had accidentally discovered coal when his campfire ignited an exposed vein on Broad Mountain. Since that time, Schuylkill County was source of millions of tons of coal that fed factories, ships and powered industry. The coal industry today is a mere skeleton of the booming business that allowed many people to earn a living. Most mines are closed and equipment is idle. These a photos to remind us of how our forefathers lived.

Orbs : These photos were taken within a period of 2 minutes. I was showing the Pentax W10 waterproof camera to someone. I shot the first photo & saw the marks. I figured the lens was dirty (but it looked clean). After taking the 2nd one, I turned to the 2 guys next to me & shot their photo (no marks). The 4th photo showed a return of the marks. We could not see anything around us, so the cards are still out on what actually happened here or what the spots were. The photos were taken on Sunday, October 29th, 2006.

It's primary mission is to educate on the dangers of drinking and driving. Perhaps this made a difference in saving at least 1 premature death when these students become drivers. (We probably will never know.)

Since then, this event has grown to become a day where activities begin at dawn and end after dusk. It reflects upon a spirit upon people from many diverse backgrounds will often work together (as fire fighters, community service volunteers, etc.) to overcome any problem and make the community a better place. 2006 is the 18th year

Normally, I love taking pictures. I initially shyed away from taking the imiages because it would show peoples hardships. However, after hearing that I could help the relief effort by documenting the aftermath and our photos may assist with state & federal funding, I began to travel through the area. What you see here is a limited view of what I saw.

Your Bio

Hi,

I love taking pictures. I’ve been so many places where the images are stored only in my memory, that I decided to reactivate one of my old hobbies. I also enjoy allowing people to see themselves having fun or see something that they may not ever had the opportunity otherwise.

To explain this better: In 2005, I was asked to capture a few pictures of a church event that an elderly man could not attend. I shot a few hundred, loaded them to a disc and gave them to his son to print out. A few weeks later, his son relayed a message of thanks and that his father really enjoyed viewing them from his room in a nursing home. During 2006, the gentleman passed on. Upon my giving condolences to his son, he told me that his father often looked at the photos and was found looking at them when he peacefully departed. I was speechless! To be able to uplift one’s spirit doing something that I also enjoy is priceless to me.

Well after trying unsuccessfully for a few months to set up a host that would hold my photos for free, I broke down & rented this one.

Since it allows me to have unlimited storage & uploads, I will be taking advantage of my rental. So check back every so often to see what I have to show.

My goal is to make every picture better than the last one. I also like to highlight people having fun and hope that you may find these enjoyable.

I wanted a place where people could download the photos, and originally set this web page up that way. However after a very informative discussion with a friend of mine in the legal profession, I set up for copyright protection. This is to primarily protect the individuals in the photos from having their images become public domain & appear indiscriminately in other places.

The site also offers a printing service &/or photo gifts. Yes, I do get a kickback on the sales, but I’ve tried to set up the prices to cover just my commissions/expenses, taxes & other fees. Often people will ask me to provide a photo or two, or even a group. Sometimes to get these printed & delivered could be a major hassle.

This method allows people to view, pick & choose. You can also do limited adjustments/cropping on the photos that you want printed. Some will look good as larger photos, most will look fantastic as a 4x6. I tried to keep the prices affordable so that viewers would not need to “take a 2nd mortgage out” to purchase a few.

The galleries that I set up, will highlight people having fun at an event. I will try to capture everyone or as many I can to allow all to see themselves. If there are any out of focus, poor quality or images that may have questionable appearances/actions, I will not post them. If there are any images that may offend anyone, please use my email below so that we can resolve the issue.

The bottom line is that I am hoping that people will enjoy these as much as I did taking them. Your comments, positive or negative are always welcome. I place a lot of weight upon negative comments when they are accompanied by a positive suggestion. I call this “Constructive Criticism.”

Any questions, please feel free to email me at ed_brennan@hotmail.com

Thanks for viewing and sharing my fun with photography,

Ed Brennan
