ADDED A NEW GALLERY, RETRO WILDWOOD, TO MY WORK page.
Every year, when I go to Stone Harbor on the South Jersey Shore, I spend some time visiting nearby Wildwood with the sole intent of picturing the 50's era architecture and signage. Some of which has been restored, some of which is in the state of slow decline.
This year it is my intent to picture the Morey's Amusement Piers on the ocean-front boardwalk. Morey's Amusement Piers date back to 60s but prior to that time, one of the Morey brothers was a contractor / developer who built most of the funky "Doo Wop"-style motels that are the objects of my Wildwood picturing desires.
FYI, when I first began to visit the South Jersey SHore (mid-90s). Wildwood was a run-down dump of a place. Kudos to the town for the restoration and revitalization of the town without destroying all of its funky past.
