East Watch by the Sea

April 11, 2017 by Greg Molyneux

Sunset photo of pastel clouds over LBI beachfront property.

The Saturday night burn was long and sweet. Like a lasting goodbye to the one we hold most dear. Sunset came, it saw, it conquered. Anxiety fell still to a palette so bright and unmoving it was as though the hands of time ceased to be. Seconds turned to minutes. The minutes, hours. And the hours […]

Fortify

April 10, 2017 by Greg Molyneux

Golden sunset photo of sand dune lined with sand fence.

I’m always quick to notice the berm every time I hit the beach. After the sound of the ocean it’s immediately the next thing that calls my attention. It’d be easy to chalk this up to proximity. The berm is the first thing you walk through, but I suspect there’s more to it than that. […]

It Starts My Mind Flowing

April 9, 2017 by Greg Molyneux

Explosive sunset photo over rushing Atlantic Ocean wash.

The day broke clear. Northwest winds funneling crisp air across the coastal plain. One last battle in the fight between winter and spring. Unseen as it was. Sleeping late as usual the day made off with a quick start. Catch up after a long night redeeming Hyrule. I bounded about from laundry to bill pay, […]

Who Goes There?

Golden hour photo of wind swept sand dunes on Long Beach Island.

Footprints? Footprints on the sand dune? That’s prohibited, yo. Photographic evidence would suggest recently someone was out and about on a section of berm otherwise left perfectly windswept along the beaches of Loveladies, New Jersey. Judging by the small size and short gait I’m going to guess this was a child’s work. Fortunately it was […]

Overrun

February 4, 2017 by Greg Molyneux

Strong contrast black and white photo of sand dune enveloping sand fence.

Heh—”Lovely Rita” just cued up as I began writing up this post. Things are looking up on what has otherwise been a rather pedestrian Saturday in the cellar cold that is February. So pedestrian, in fact, my right shoe found itself planted in some fresh dog poo as I was making sunset photos, but I […]

Leading Lines and Lazy Misfires

January 31, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

Vertical orientation photograph with strong leading lines in the sand underneath a pastel sunset

GRUMBLE, GRUMBLE . . . No, original NES Link, I’m not a hungry Goriya looking for a free lunch. Instead I’m just a dude (probably hungry) who’s going to spend a few hundred words whining a bit about what might have been. I like this photograph. I like it more than the one I posted […]

Holgate Time

January 30, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

Landscape photograph of Holgate, NJ, beaches under a pastel winter sunset

Holgate, New Jersey. Long Beach Island’s southern most tip makes for some high drama in the dead of winter. Considering its south-by-southwest orientation it aligns splendidly for the southwest sunsets that render over the winter months; giving photographers options to shoot toward the southwest, or to maintain a southeastern angle to work the shore break […]

The Pink Purple Blues

October 17, 2015 by Greg Molyneux

Wide angle photograph of ocean jetty rock captured at blue hour

For the first time in weeks, if not months, I made it to the beach today. Conditions were so good I made it to the beach twice today. Continuing with the trend of spectacular light and air quality experienced yesterday, the Atlantic Ocean threw in a cool environmental wrinkle of its own: dead calm seas. […]

The Great Gig in the Sky

May 29, 2015 by Greg Molyneux

World class sunset over the sandy beaches and jetty rock of Long Beach Island

One minute your sitting in the back of a four-door Jeep groovin’ on some tunes en route to the Chicken of the Egg to chow down on some wings, and the next minute your banging an emergency left somewhere in Spray Beach to make a mad dash to the beach for world class cloud ignition […]
