Each one, in its own unique way, reaffirms why I love The Wildwoods so much. A big thank you to all who contributed.

So many truly great artistic "eyes" here - and some really technically excellent photos! What a joy....especially when compared to the millions I've endured seeing during years of "mass" photo finshing! Must be the inspiring subject matter bringing out the "master" in some people.

I always loved the Fairview sign. I hope it wasn't destroyed. Remember the old army navy store? That was always interesting.

Pacific has some good people: Gia, Hooked on Books, etc.

Not sure how many would be interested, so I'm just tossing this out there as a concept thought for now; but, we could easily turn this into a "collected works"-style book. Maybe something we could put together and sell to raise money at the Doo Wop Experience or Boyer?

What do you guys think?

What steps would need to be taken to put the book together?

This have become my all time favorite thread!

I am inspired as a novice, by so many on here that really are wonderful photographers. Inspired to take it more seriously and try harder myself as a novice. I bet that by the end of this season, we will have tons more photos and I am looking forward to every pixel.

Did the salt air rot it out? Did the miniature golf place close? This was always a great way to measure how far we traveled on the boardwalk.
