About the Jones Beach series
I’ve always enjoyed the beach, after the crowds are gone, and the sound of the waves is all you hear. On a late overcast afternoon in September, I drove out to the west end of Jones Beach. The light was silvery and the sun was trying to sneak through. In the trash was an empty bottle of Blue Nun, a popular and inexpensive drink of the day.
The images in this series were captured on film - 1979.
