Description

Wildwood, New Jersey: way to a mix of economics, geography, and chance, this Jersey Shore vacation spot has, for more than four decades, been home to a wealth of immaculately preserved midcentury motels. These jewels of neon and bright colors remained frozen in time until recently; now, a considerable number have been demolished and lots of that remain face an uncertain long run.  Decided to preserve them, photographer Mark Havens has captured their distinctive style over 10 years, occasionally shooting motel facades even as staff were demolishing the backs. With essays by Joseph Giovannini and Jamer Hunt and evocative photographs, Out of Season celebrates the architecture of a bygone era of Jersey Shore summers.
