Old Photographic Negatives Reveal Positive Images and Memories of Asbury Park, New Jersey's West Side

Asbury Park, NJ (PRWeb) December 30, 2006 -- Joseph A. Carter, Sr., Photographer (1917-1980) owned and operated Carter's Photographic Studio in Asbury Park, New Jersey form the early 1940s until 1980. During this time period, his studio was located at three location in the one square mile sea shore city. In the early 1940's, he was located at 1136 Springwood Avenue, in the late 40's through the 1960's, he operated inside his home at 1521 Bangs Avenue. During the late 1960's, he opened his first licensed studio at 1207 Springwood Avenue. After the 1970 riots, he relocated to the Morris Building at 715 Mattison Avenue which was destroyed by fire in 1978.

Ironically being spared from destruction in the 1970 Riots during a civil unrest in the city, and before the 1978 fire, his daughter having problems with filing space, removed his negatives that were taken during the early days to make room for new customer's negatives. There were boxes of 4x5 black and white negatives that were taken during the days when places like Cuba's Night Club, Berkley Carteret, Carver Hotel, and other entertainment spots, and businesses existed on the West Side.    

His daughter, Madonna Carter Jackson, who was born and raised in Asbury Park, had continued operating Carter's Studio after his death in 1980, but migrated South on her own adventures. For the past twenty six years, she has made sure that her father's collections of negatives were protected from the elements of storage, hurricanes, and now the mold and dampness of South Carolina. "I always new that one day my father's work would be important to the people of Asbury Park. These images are of what I consider our heritage. I want the children of Asbury Park to see that they don't live in a section of town that is simply remembered as the "dark side of town" as depicted in so many of the historical documentations about Asbury Park."

The author says, "This book of pictures is not meant to be a historical fact book; I see it as a small portion of a collection of photographs of people, places, and events that validate the positive African American celebrated life in Asbury Park, New Jersey sixty-seven years ago."
