Wintertime at the Jersey Shore, 1982

Wallace Stroby aka, Wild East, Asbury Park, 1982 

There's a series of photos from Asbury Park on the New Yorker web site here. 'Evocative' doesn't seem to do the 1979 series justice.  My shot of Wally, a Long Branch native,  was taken on the coldest day I've ever experienced...and I lived in Chicago for 19 years.  It was so cold, the OM-1 power winder, a cheap hair dresser's version of a motor drive, froze up.  It's also why there's no one in the background.
