THE BOARDWALK Original Selfies
“The photograph is the most important document, and there is nothing more damning to go down to posterity then a silly, foolish smile caught and fixed forever.“

Sharon & Natalie McMonagle 1968 Elmer & Priscilla Pinker, Have you read their story in this issue?
Remember those “high
quality” tiny-squared strips of black and white photos you once took with your nearest and dearest on the boardwalk? Before cell phones and “selfies” were all the rage, the boardwalk photo booth was the place to capture Summertime by the sea. Behind that curtain, facing that tiny spinning chair, friends & family would cram together for their photo op, often arguing over ownership of the four photos that would eventually drop down outside the booth. Sadly, the souvenir boardwalk photomatic photo booth is nowhere to be found. On our never-ending quest for all things Wildwood classic, we here at The Sun are betting many of our readers are in possession of those tiny, tattered memoirs. You already know how much we love to publish your photos. Please send your golden oldies to us at address on bottom of the front cover:-)
