Sand Bar USA

Is open! There is a funky bar/night club located on the waterfront in Jersey City next to the Marina in the previous shots. It is quite large and has a lot of outdoor areas complete with plastic palm trees, a sand beach, and some unusual furniture. We were there early in the afternoon so it was pretty quiet but judging from the looks of the place it is probably hopping at night especially in the summer. We stopped for a beer at one of the outside bars. We did not venture inside although it must be quite large with 2 dance floors and several lounge and dining areas.

I want to take a moment to say thanks to the people who sent me supportive emails and messages. It means a lot to me.

I have taken my VFXY account out of hibernation and re-activated it.

News:

This photo of the Bucknell Quad is a 2 page feature photo in the Summer 2008 issue of Bucknell Magazine.

As of July 2008 I have decided to post the same photos on "Parallel Universe" as I do here. It has become too complicated to maintain two different photoblogs on a regular basis. Feel free to visit "Parallel Universe" and look through the portfolio/archives since there are quite a few photos there that were never posted here. I will continue to post on both since each one gets different viewers.

That sounds like a fun and funky place to sit and unwind for a while.

@Denis...lol...Thanks. I had just gotten the lens the day before so I was having a lot of fun when I did the Jersey City series. I am not as obsessed with it anymore although I still love it. It is fun and a little challenging as well.

That arrow just comes straight at me! The curve in the fence really enhances the depth. Nicely done! And sorry to hear about all the trouble you had lately. Hope it finally works out for you!

I like the effect that you used, but I kind of wish something more interesting was happening in the parking lot - I'm a sucker for people in photos though. It's very creative, with great colors. Nice!
