Waves wash over The Jet Star Roller Coaster on November 24, 2012. The iconic roller coaster in Seaside Heights was swept into the ocean by Hurricane Sandy. The coastline of New Jersey my home state, was completely reshaped and devastated physically and economically by Sandy. My beach home in Toms River was completely destroyed, as well as the Lavallette home of my Grandparents which has been in our family for generations. Seaside Heights, where this photograph was taken, is now a wasteland of what was an amusement park town. I have grown up on these beaches all of my life. I found that shooting here was both difficult, and therapeutic for me.
