One Last Speedstar – Funtown Pier

One_Last _Speed_Star-Afterllfe-massaia-2012

Just when you think that Michael Massaia has taken the ultimate photograph he stuns you by doing it again. This one, taken in the early morning hours of 12/22/12 is assurance that there is beauty to be found among the ruins by eyes gifted, skilled and perseverent enough to know how. Bookended with his elegiac Casino pier photograph taken 11/10/12, these two images are immediate visual icons. – Tom Gramegna, Gallery 270

Michael’s work is on display at Gallery 270 at Bergen County Camera in Westwood, NJ. Take a look at Michael Massaia’s previous Gallery 270 shows.
