CAMERA CANDY

....and while I'm on the war path, it's

time to inform you of the

CAMERA CANDY CAMPAIGN

I have traveled from Venice Beach in L.A. to Amsterdam in Holland and all the stops in between.  I have been in a lot of towns.  As a traveler you get an overview that locals can't see.

At the risk of offending some I am sad to say the trouble with Asbury Park is it....

.....lacks character

Where are the cobble stone streets, the old oak trees and ivy covered walls? Ocean Grove has character.

At the last election James Keady talked about working with the tourist bureau in Trenton.

Look at your own door step James.  Parking tickets are not inviting, benches in the parks are.

The

ARTS LIBERATION FRONT

has a slogan...

..enhance cultural ambiance

it enhances you.

To help save Asbury Park from itself ALF began

a camera candy campaign.

We live in the age of the camera phone.  A virtual blizzard of images.

Why not provide visitors with something to take pictures of...like chalk on the side walk?

It's not illegal.  If it was you'd have to bust kids for doing hopscotch on the sidewalk.

It's safe.  They put chalk down to make something less slippery.

It's not graffiti.  I'm an artist with a six page resume'

and forty six years of experience.

It doesn't cost the city a penny in clean up.  The work disappears by itself.

Best of all it gives the visitor some candy for

their cameras.

On the right, scroll down to the box marked "categories" and click on chalk, then hold the scroll button down and almost everything I've done in AP and NYC will pass by.

The good news is they've come and gone and never caused a problem or cost a penny.
