By Paul Goldfinger, Photography Editor @Blogfinger
Photographers are sometimes drawn to cemeteries because they can be dramatic and lovely. But I rarely see a cemetery in an art gallery—I guess they don’t sell well. In my case, I almost never photograph in a cemetery because it’s depressing.
About the only time I get interested is if there is historical context, such as with this 18th century cemetery in Farmingdale. There is something mysterious and brooding about this place. I actually enjoyed walking around there and trying to read the nearly obliterated inscriptions.
I have visited cemeteries in Boston and New Brunswick which go back to the Revolutionary War, and they are absolutely fascinating if not beautiful. Another gorgeous place is the Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah where Johnny Mercer resides. You can take a ghost tour in Savannah. I have photos. (Remember the book/movie Midnight In the Garden of Good and Evil—-set in Savannah)
But this place in Farmingdale, with its lonely setting, sitting forlornly by the side of a country road, seems wonderfully haunting.
You know, the Albatross Hotel on Ocean Pathway in Ocean Grove served as a setting for the HBO series Boardwalk Empire. This Farmingdale cemetery would be great for HBO’s True Blood.
You can almost see the vampires coming out of the ground during the night to fly into Ocean Grove and seek some juicy jugular veins.

DEE DEE BRIDGEWATER
It’s October on the OG boardwalk: you can bicycle and walk your dog and have blue hair.

Ocean Grove boards on Oct. 1, 2017: bikes and dogs allowed whenever. Dogs can also go on the beach. A woman with blue hair—am I blue? Paul Goldfinger photo. © Click image to enlarge the picture.
Notice the sign. In big letters it says WARNING!!! NO LIFEGUARD ON DUTY. Isn’t that enough warning for those who might consider swimming? So why do we need 3 exclamation points? We don’t need even one. There is a limit to how effective that sign will be. Recently we heard from a surfer dude who wants red flags to be posted when the water is dangerous. But maybe this sign is more than enough to try and discourage dopey daredevils.
And the sign says “No Diving!” Is there any way anyone could dive down at this beach. I suppose someone might walk over to the pier and dive in, but if anyone is so inclined, the little message on the bottom of this sign is not likely to be influential. And besides, it’s all sand under there. Maybe the sign should also say, “Don’t stick your head in the sand!!!”
The lady with blue hair smiled at us as she went by, but she was moving fast, and we don’t know why she smiled or why she has blue hair in Ocean Grove. This is a rare sighting here, but maybe she was going to Asbury to attend a meeting of the Blue Hair Society.
And the girl on the bike? She was on the beach and came up to get her bike—seemingly caught between the seasons.
