The Boardwalk in Asbury Park: NY City Serenade

by Tim Dempsey on February 2, 2009

The Casino, Asbury Park, NJ, November 2006With all this Bruce Springsteen talk: Superbowl halftime, new tour behind the “Working on a Dream” album, I found myself getting a bit nostalgic.  Back in November of 2006, I spent Thanksgiving with my two sons down on the Jersey Shore where I grew up.  The weather that weekend was incredible: I think it got into the 60s fahrenheit, so we had the great good fortune to enjoy a long and sunny walk an Asbury’s boardwalk.  Not quite what it used to be… but beautiful in its own decrepit way.  I was playing with Adobe Lightroom I think — and put together this little movie.  The video quality doesn’t do justice to the images, but it’s a fun walk down the boardwalk, accompanied by the Boss himself and one of the great ones from “The Wild, The Innocent, and The E-Street Shuffle,” “New York City Serenade.”


I know the resolution is terrible — but be sure to select “HQ” in the YouTube panel. Send comments and I’ll post the originals somewhere!

This photo has now become "the most interesting" photo on Flickr when you seach for "Kobe Bryant."  Amazing.  Volume up especially as Kobe recently reached the 20,000 point milestone (before age 30). I heard on SportsCenter this morning that Wilt reached this point in five fewer seasons…

VitalStatistics.info politely asked to use this photo on their site for an article on Kobe. A first for me. Very cool.

This is Julie’s colleague Rachel — I’m continuing to work on the various blending options and blurring effects to get a grip on the "Orton" technique.
