It’s Thursday and you know what that means.  This week I am taking a break form sharing a wedding and looking back on some photos I shot while in NYC last October for the annual Photo Plus Expo.  My friend John and his Fiancé Jess live in Brooklyn so I stayed with them for my visit.  When I arrived, John who is also a photographer (we went to college together) took me to see the Hurricane Sandy ruins down in Breezy Point.  I knew the damage was bad but I was shocked when seeing these ruins in person.  This public beach and boardwalk is completely abandoned.  I hope it gets restored and re-built soon.  These are the photos I walked away with…

As we were wrapping up the sky turned a gorgeous pink, orange, and purple hue. ….And then it began to rain!  It’s hard to imagine this place as a busy beach and recreation area.  We were just a few miles from Manhattan and there wasn’t another soul in sight!
