I love the beach.  It's a special place.  I feel privileged to live here.  I believe the powers that be gave us the waterfronts we have as compensation for putting up with the LIE, the LIRR, annoying neighbors, yadda, yadda, yadda...…..

 

Born in Astoria, raised in West Babylon.  Spent a good portion of my life at Gilgo Beach and Robert Moses State Park in Babylon.  Most of my photos are from these beaches. 

 

Did I mention that I love the beach?
 

Been wrestling with Parkinson's for the past 16 years.  My family bought me my camera 3 years ago to help me keep active. THANK YOU!  THANK YOU!  THANK YOU!  They say I have a good eye.  I'll let you be the judge.  

 

Wrestling is the right word to describe my attempts at photography. Some days you can't do what you want, so you do what you can. (hmmmmm…….that sounds familiar.)

 

A different perspective. I've had fun taking these. Did I mention that I love the beach?
