Rebuilding

the Jersey Shore

Photographs by George Steinmetz

Early last November, shortly after Hurricane Sandy, George Steinmetz helicoptered over New Jersey and shot a series of aerial photographs of the devastated coastline. During the July Fourth weekend, Steinmetz returned to the area to see how things had changed, and the pictures he took accompany John Seabrook’s piece about the future of the Jersey Shore, in last week’s issue of the magazine. The photographs below show how the Shore has evolved since Sandy. Click the “change” button to toggle between the images from November and those from July.
