A favorite subject of mine- New Jersey Boardwalks. This is the latest, would love some feedback :)
Here is a quick sample image and the rest of the series is at Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/cgmoyer/sets/72157594304770586/

Gary, I've seen these at the other joint and I must say they are your best yet. Exposures are so damn great. Classic toy cameraesque. I couldn't possibly pick one cause they are all that cool....but the one with the little gal and clown really caught my attention....and I'll admit, I found myself staring ridiculously at those thunder thighs...har har. Good show...

Gary, I like 'Lift' and the girl with the clown the best. Overall I think the snaps with people in them ('Lift' notwithstanding) are stronger than those without. Having said that, when it works, the toycamera treatment really does complement the subject matter even if it's just of a building or structure...so press on my good man. Keep 'em coming.

It's an amazing series and I look forward to seeing more ;)

yes, very nice story-telling quality.
Some would lend themselves well to hand coloring.
Excellent series.

Lovely subject matter Gary.
To me it all carries great potential for story telling, but the images themselves aren't always doing that. Boardwalks seem to me (and I admit these may be clich? feelings) either fun, idyllic, summery escapes, or empty, melancholic places with memories of childhood past. I'd like to see either mood supported or debunked by the pictures.
'Hey little Girl' has the strongest narrative quality. I love the story this paints as well as the composition. Powerful picture- well done. Some of the other clown pics perhaps fall between the two extremes I described, and the message isn't so clear.
Apart from a general pref for the B/W, I also vote for the elegant simplicity of 'lift'. The fact that we don't know where it takes you, plus the simple complimentary opposites in the colouring.. nice. It's one shot thats is made stronger by the absense of humanity, when people could have played a stronger role in some of the others.
More please!
