Untitled. By Anna Murphey Re-posted from September, 2013.
Anna Murphey is a retired professional photojournalist who often vacations in Ocean Grove and whose work we have shown in the past. (BF link for Anna Anna Murphey photographer ) She is currently visiting our town to be here at its most beautiful time—September.
Anna sent us the photo above and she explains the image in her own words:
“I am attaching a photo I took at Swartswood State Park one April-a warm day, it’s one of my favorites and it ran in the New Jersey Herald during my tenure as Chief Photographer.”
We also asked Anna to suggest a song for her delightful portrait of a young lady.
This is her reply, “Good Day Sunshine,” by the Beatles. As an aside, I saw the Beatles at Shea Stadium in 1964, I still have my ticket stub, I guess that kind of dates me.”
THE BEATLES:
Editor’s note: We learned that Anna had passed in 2017. She was a fine photographer and her last contact with Blogfinger was 2016
Sweetest picture ever.
Anna, this photo has graced our walls since it was taken. That little girl, Morgana, is now 16, and the tears came when I read of your passing, and that your song for this was “Good Day Sunshine.” Wow. I can’t wait to tell her this!
Paul, thank you for posting my photo and the kind comments
