Lifeguard Stands—a mini-series by Bob Bowné #2

“Man Lights Cigarette” By Bob Bowné. September,2014 ©

Paul,

I was there at 8:00 am…weekday, north end on the other side of Convention Hall in Asbury Park.  Beautiful day …no one to be seen anywhere.

But, as I walked down to shoot the empty life guard stand, I got a couple shots off and I hear slurred at me by a totally drunken “gentleman,”

“Hey..that’s my seat”

At which point he jumps up on the stand and repeatedly attempts to light the remnants of a cigarette in the full on, blustery NE wind.

I just kept shooting and laughing at the odds of that situation.  I just LOVED the contortions.

Bob
