5/23/11: THE ASBURY PARK POSTCARD SERIES RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT
"When I was twelve or so, upon returning from a family trip to Washington DC my dad asked if my sister and I wanted to see a "real life ghost town." As we made our way through the vacant streets of Asbury Park, my mom gushed about seeing The Rolling Stones at The Convention Hall when she was a teenager. My dad remembered crowded Friday nights on the boardwalk and games of Skeeball.
At the time I would have never guessed I would end up spending most of my own teenage years in Asbury Park. I religiously made my way down to catch a show at the Lanes or the Stone Pony or just take in a quiet day on the nearly desolate beach. My friends never understood why I always wanted to go there and I'm not sure I did either. But there was something about the town that kept me coming back.
As Asbury Park began to transform into something new, I realized I wanted to capture the Asbury Park I had experienced, or at least what was left of it. These photos, taken between 2005 and 2008, are part of that effort. Some of these things have changed, some remain and some are gone. Regardless, after all these years I'm still coming back to Asbury Park."
I'm to happy to announce that I have recently completed work on a new postcard series featuring my photographs of Asbury Park. The postcards will be available beginning in June at local businesses in Asbury Park. So please check them out and visit the town that will always hold a special place in my heart.
The eight part Asbury Park Postcard Series will be divided into two sets each including four images. Series One will include The Grand Casino, The Grand Arcade, Tillie, and The Asbury Lanes. Series Two will include The Stone Pony, The Baronet Theater, The Convention Hall, and The Paramount Theater.
