Round 11 - Casino

Now that my card is out and people are getting them, I'd though I'd post a neg scan of the photo.

Took this in Asbury Park, NJ in April. For those Springsteen fans out there, one can only imagine that this is the same casino mentioned in "Fourth of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)".

Oh yeah, taken with Canon 1V 28mm/1.8. I think the exposure was 1/640 and f/8.0. Tri-X in XTOL 1:1.

So they're really taking it down finally. Here's a postcard that I sent out a while back from the other side--

You know, when I was there, I got the feeling they were gutting it only to incorporate it into some new structure.

That would be great, if they could preserve it in some way. It had been "about to come down next week" for years.

With all of the movements to preserve our architectural history you would think that such an unique and important structure could be repurposed. I was listening to that song on the radio this morning"..and the boys from the casino dance with their shirts open like latin lovers on the shore..chasing all those silly new york virgins by the score.." Sad.
We went to Rockaway.
 
I'm kind of sad I didn't get down there before Tilly went away. Well, I did, but I wasn't into photography yet...

It is sad to see all these old buildings not get repurposed. I wish more of that went on here in the US.
