Island Beach State Park, 2018
Stephen Russell Shilling
Note:
I have been working on editing together a book of photographs I made at New Jersey’s Island Beach State Park a few years ago. It will be a small book of about 40-50 images accompanied by text. Over the coming weeks, I will be sharing some of the images from that project.
Something I find myself enjoying more and more each year is time spent by the water. If it is the ocean, that’s wonderful. But it can be any body of water. A lake, a river, or a stream.
Island Beach State Park is rich in textures, and most of the flora has a ruggedness and resilience you can see. In its grasses, small shrubs, and even trees farther back beyond the dunes it is a presence you can feel. It reminds me of the Atlantic coast of Ireland, a place I feel especially connected to.
