Autorenporträt
The outstanding images in Long Beach Island are from the collection of George C. Hartnett, whose family history on the island goes back almost one hundred years. They are woven together by the fascinating narrative of Kevin Hughes, also a longtime collector and writer. Long Beach Island is a perfect companion to Hughes's first Arcadia book, Barnegat: Life by the Bay .
