This picture was taken on an unusually warm May day. As you know, May can be a fickle month in New Jersey, where one day it is warm and next it is very chilly. On this day, it was close to 90, which was very unusual. But I took advantage of it by capturing many beach and boardwalk images. This picture shows the coaster and wooden pier alongside a lone man with a knapsack walking the beach. In my mind, he seemed homeless, as if his knapsack held his possessions and clothes. I have no idea what was in his mind, but the scene left me with a lonely feeling.
Jersey Shore 2018
I went to New Jersey for a very complex surgery in May 2018. I decided to take my camera just in case I had a chance to take some photos. The surgery was scheduled for May 16th, so on May 15th, on a very unseasonably warm day, we decided to head down to the Jersey Shore. The doctor’s office was near the Shore and the hospital itself was the Jersey Shore Medical Center. Here are the photos I took on that beautiful warm day before surgery.
