Ansel Adams, Georgia O’Keeffe and many other painters and photographers loved to go to Taos, New Mexico for one particular subject: the Rancho de Taos Church.
Andrew Wyeth painted about 1,000 studies of the farmhouse at Kuerner’s, his neighbor’s property in Pennsylvania. Here is a link we posted about that subject Wyeth at Kuerners. The Wyeth article continues to interest strangers since many still visit BF to look at that piece.
Harry Callahan was famous for his nude photographs, but he photographed only one woman—–his model and muse: wife Eleanor.
My point is that artists tend to revisit sites and subjects that fascinate and inspire them.
One place that often gets my attention is the Faith Baptist Church on Wickapecko Drive in Ocean Township near the A. Park border.

I frequently pass this church because Wickapecko Drive is a country road that provides an alternate scenic route coming back from Wegmans to the Grove. Just turn right off Sunset Avenue by the firehouse with Chief Wanamassa painted on the side (see below.)
Indians used to paddle their canoes around there. Sometimes they had to take a detour because of Township road work.
The Chief first met white men when the Ocean Township DPW began paving Sunset Avenue. That historic work continues to this day.
Legend has it that Chief W. had a vision that told him to open a Wegmans nearby. You can sometimes find him shopping there in the Kosher department for lox.
The Wickapecko Indians were Rutgers fans, and that is why they were called red men. They would go to football games with no shirts, painting RU on their chests. They have been upset since the 18th century over Rutgers football misfortunes.
The church has a woodsy setting, and the light often twinkles on the front and sides as the massive trees cast all sorts of changing shadows.
I have photographed it many times, but this image, obtained in late afternoon, after making a carrot, dill, and celery run for Eileen who was working on a batch of chicken soup, is what I had been looking for.
I shot it this time both in color and black and white, but the latter, with a “vintage” tint, looks fine.

The leafy entrance to this church is overgrown, and soon the word “Faith” will be also.
