Asbury Park Casino Part 2




Travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind.
Seneca

There were two sets of wonderful objects inside the old casino. The original carvings and murals which had been placed. In order to capture some of the shots I wanted I found myself doing what I called photograph gymnastics. It certainly captured the attention of some people. Suddenly I was doing interactive photography and found people wanted to be in the shot. One girl did a cartwheel for me. I actually loved the result.

I don't know who did the mural of the woman, but I'd love to meet them someday. It was a great backdrop. Again they captured the changing vision of the boardwalk through their subject matter. Saucy, bawdy and yet with a hint of elegance.
