Jean Bredin, Blogfinger staff. October,2023, Tent Village, Ocean Grove, New Jersey.
By Paul Goldfinger, Editor Blogfinger.net
As one of Blogfinger’s photographers, I tend to seek the remarkable curvy lines of Jersey Shore “girls in their summer clothes.” But Jean Bredin has a different point of view, and viva la difference.
It’s October in the Grove, and the canvas tent parts have been removed, but this Bredin image finds all sorts of permanent straight lines coming together in a sweet autumn composition.
For those who are not so familiar with Ocean Grove’s geography, you can see here that the tents tend to be in the shadows of the Great Auditorium.
These tents are probably the most photographed of the Grove’s visual delights, but Jean caught them in a rare composition when most of the iPhone photographers have returned to their first homes.
ROSIE THOMAS. “October”. From the album When We Were Small.
She wrote the songs in her 2002 debut album when she was 24 years old.
