welcome to the pleasuredome I
I've been enjoying my East Coast Tour, despite the fact that I haven't been able to do much in the way of blogging. It's been a bit of a whirlwind—yesterday Lex asked me how many different beds I've slept in on this trip and my count came to nine.
So much experience in so short a time has left me with a lot I want to write about; I'll try to handle it a little bit at a time over the next couple of days rather than doing one big "recap" post. (I'm also hoping to do my normal end-of-year year-in-review posts sometime soon, probably not until I'm back in Chicago next week.)
Anyway. One of the most fun things I did on this trip was go out to Asbury Park, NJ, with my old friend Cathy. Both Cathy and I have been spending a lot of time this year posting photos to Flickr, and we really wanted to take a daytrip to someplace where we could do some photo-trawling. Asbury Park is a good choice: it has a boardwalk that has fallen into a state of disrepair, including, at one end, an enormous pleasure palace, which has been abandoned and fallen into grandiose ruin.
My photos from the day will be living on the flash card until I get back to Chicago, but Cathy's put forty-three up in a set. It may interest Raccoon readers to note that I am the figure in the mask in the Arbus-inspired photos at the end of the set. Labels: personal, photography |
