Always have been. With that in mind I decided last summer that I wanted to have an exhibit this winter based on portraits I took in the summer. So I took my 35mm film camera and walked such Jersey Shore beaches and boardwalks as Ocean Grove\, Seaside Heights\, Island Beach State Park and others and asked strangers if I could take a portrait of them. I also shot some photos of a fantastic lifeguard tournament in Seaside Park. \nI shot this entire series on film because I love how summer looks on film\, with the warmth and nostalgic look of Kodak Gold especially. It looks different from digital. It looks like it’s the 1970’s and 1980’s again\, and I love that look. I held onto these photos until this winter. And the time has now come to exhibit them. \nThis book is a commemorative edition to an exhibition I am having this winter. This entire Summer of 2023 series is designed to warm us all up as we get through this winter. This book is smaller\, at 5×7 inches\, but it packs a lot of warmth and summer in each of the 50 portraits it contains. Get yourself a copy or two\, and warm yourself in its golden pages. See you this summer!” \nBook Author/Photographer Gregory Andrus \n  \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”REGISTER HERE TO ATTEND THIS EVENT” color=”peacoc” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.POTJS.com|target:_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:AUTHORTIME with Herman Lentz

A Long Island Jew with delusions of grandeur\, he lives in New Jersey not by choice\, but by marriage\, as his first generation Greek Orthodox wife wanted to be close to her extremely extended family. He prides himself on his great head of hair and self-proclaimed rapier like wit. \nWhen not working on his next essay\, he can be seen cursing on the golf course\, wishing his grandkids would take more naps when he babysits\, avoiding any and all acts of physical labor\, and looking for excuses to not go shopping with his wife. His goal is not to be recognized posthumously. \nLearn more about his book at www.Jewmorous.com. \n [/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”REGISTER HERE TO ATTEND THIS EVENT” color=”primary” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle%2FKfn4oxDgKdEq1YWS9|target:_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column icons_position=”left”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

He has led these classes for Monmouth University and Project Write Now. \n“When I first started writing books\, I used to get a huge charge out of seeing my name splashed on the cover\,” Farragher says. “That’s still a thrill\, but I now get an even bigger charge seeing my name on page 2 of someone else’s book\, when they acknowledge the small part I might have played in helping them get their story out. Publishing my work in various forms has been the adventure of my life\, and I love inspiring others to take the plunge!” \nMike’s stories have leapt off the page and onto the stage and screen. He had 2 plays produced off-Broadway at The Manhattan Repertory Theater. You can view those performances on our PLAYS page: https://thisisyourbrainonshamrocks.com/the-plays/ \nHe optioned his “This Is Your Brain on Shamrocks” books for the screen; a pilot episode of a comedy series was produced and won numerous awards at film festivals on either side of the Atlantic\, including the prestigious Dublin International Comedy Film Festival. \nLearn more about Mike at his website: www.MikeFarragher.com \n\n [/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”REGISTER HERE TO ATTEND THIS EVENT” color=”success” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle%2FY2WYjs3yf8vgaLZv9|target:_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column icons_position=”left”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

I was born December 14\, 1952. My father and mother moved from 13th Ave to 22 Inlet Terrace soon afterward. Dad grew up on Inlet Terrace. He was Captain of the Asbury Park H.S. state championship football team of 1931. Mom also attended A.P.H.S. We belonged to the First Presbyterian Church on 9th Ave. \nLocally\, I attended Belmar Elementary and Manasquan H.S. Always a late bloomer\, I was sent to Blair Academy for what was euphemistically called a post-graduate or PG year. At Blair I fell in love with writing. From there I attended Gettysburg College\, and after graduation in 1975\, found a job at a high school 15 miles from Gettysburg where I taught English and coached basketball. \nAfter 33 years\, one master’s degree\, many great memories\, and thousands of lousy essays\, I retired from teaching in 2010. My wife Kathleen and I have been married for 39 years. We have two grown children\, Nathan and Erin. if there is one thing I learned from experience concerning writing\, it was neatly summarized by my favorite writer Raymond Carver: \n“When it comes to writing fiction or poetry\, it really comes down to this: indifference to everything except what you’re doing.” \nLearn more about Mick and his writings at: http://mickbennettnj.com/ \n [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Cagney howls all day because of separation anxiety. Lily’s nemesis neighbor threatens to call the dog warden about a noise nuisance. BFF drama threatens Lily’s class project on why underdogs matter. Lily’s over-protective mom issues a thirty-day ultimatum\, and Lily’s guilty conscience grows while a broken promise looms. \n​In the end\, Lily must choose.  Either surrender Cagney because his needs are bigger than her ability to help him or stand up for what she believes will save him. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \n Jo Anna Dressler Kloster is a former elementary teacher\, an author\, and a Humane Policy Volunteer Leader with the Humane Society of the United States. She works to better the lives of animals.   \nHer middle-grade novel\, LILY UNLEASHED\, is a coming-of-age story.  It focuses on an underdog whose love inspires one girl to speak up for this puppy mill rescue and all the other dogs locked in puppy mill cages. Themes of friendship\, bullying\, and loss are explored.  \n Ms. Kloster attends animal welfare events and mans an educational table with her book to inform others on how to end the puppy-mill-to-pet-store-pipeline.   \n Her message: Adopt don’t shop for puppies at pet stores. Wonderful dogs await you at your local shelters\, rescues\, and with reputable breeders.  \n  \nMore info can be found below about her work:  \nWebsite: http://www.emptycagespress.com[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”REGISTER HERE TO ATTEND THIS EVENT” color=”purple” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle%2FSPGWqzKyBGt383yR9|target:_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column icons_position=”left”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
