Back In The Day Canvas Print

When I took this photo nearly forty years ago, Ocean Grove, New Jersey was like many seashore communities at the time. A place to rest and relax. Your seashore home became a repository for all your old furniture and mismatched lamps. And no one cared. If things got a little tatty you overlooked it. Then gentrification reared its head. And that was the end of cheap taxes, relaxation, and friendly smiles. I tried to give this photo and old fashioned Lumiere Autochrome
feel.
Not sure if the second story railing fell off or not.

Hello, and thank-you for taking time to visit my web site. As a long time illustrator specializing in pen and ink, photography developed as a means for me to become expressive in color. My specialty as a line artist has always been history and architecture. I've created series for major companies, publishers, and cultural institutions throughout the United States. Take time to visit some of my galleries. I welcome commissions such as house portraits and hobby related subject matter. Again, take a peek at the galleries to get a better idea. I hope that you enjoy both means of expression and visit often. Thanks, Ira Shander
