Ocean City, NJ 2012

We visited friends that live in Ocean city, their home was not significantly damaged. This probably accounts for the fact that their home is 11 feet above sea level which he said is like living on a mountain as far as Ocean City goes. Although Ocean City was not hit as hard as some other coastal areas the damage was significant. There was massive damage to the beaches and many of the homes were damaged. Streets had as much as three feet of sand in them but the cleanup was impressive. For many of the homes the damage was not immediately visible unless you noticed the piles insulation and other water damaged items piled up in front of them. Some home had significant wind damage. I heard that many families are living in shelters.

I’m never sure what I’ll photograph when I go out until I see it and then only about one in ten I’ll like, sometimes less than that. I’m presenting a sample. I seem to be taking more pictures of people and having fun with it. I still gravitate to nature though and on this trip I got caught up photographing gulls in flight, just because it’s fun. That is why I’m a photographer, because it’s fun and I like to share my images.
