“Hi Paul…
Funny, I left the house at 5 a.m. to drive up to Sandy Hook to shoot the lighthouse today before the sun came up. I wanted the the lighthouse to be lit, so it had to be an early visit.
“Then later today I looked at the Blogfinger header photo, and if I am not mistaken, that would be the houses on the bay at Fort Hancock at the tip of Sandy Hook.
“Hopefully, that is the last vestiges of snow for us this year in the foreground! Enjoy.”
—Bob

This song is a theme for Bob Bowné´s lovely interpretation of the Sandy Hook lighthouse. Congratulations Bob and thanks for sending us this gorgeous image.—-PG

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.

Where in the world is the Belmar ShopRite?

Photo by Paul Goldfinger. Blogfinger.net. December, 2015. © Click for a larger shopping cart. I love the design on this ShopRite, especially on a bright, sunny day with brilliant colors. It seems very nostalgic and comfortable. Repost.
The ShopRite of Belmar is located in zip code 07719, which is the same for Wall and Belmar. It seems that the store is known by both town names. Even their customer service department is not sure which is the official town. Therefore, as with King Solomon, I will split the baby and award a prize to either chosen town.

Surf fishing in Ocean Grove

OG beach front on November 17, 2018. By Jean Bredin, Blogfinger staff ©
Editor’s note– ( PG) After the Fishing Club was wiped out by Sandy in 2012, there was talk that the Club would shift gears and engage in surf fishing. It initially sounded like a good idea, allowing the members to teach kids how to fish, as they did before. But that plan never materialized, supposedly because of liability concerns, but it would seem that there must have been similar issues when a large group of kids would assemble on the pier for the very popular event.
So now, 6 years after Sandy, the Fishing Club remains dormant.
Seeing surf fisherman on the OG beach, as in Jean’s photograph, is a fairly unusual sight, perhaps because such fishermen tend to show up very early in the morning. OG, with its jetties, would seem like a good spot for such sport.
Jean made this image at 2 pm.
Her silhouette black and white image is quite dramatic, so we are pleased to exhibit it on Blogfinger.net.
