God’s Square MileUtah Photojournalism

God’s Square Mile

This isn’t exactly Utah, but maybe a few of you all will get a kick out of it.

I spent a couple days in Ocean Grove, N.J., also known as “God’s Square Mile”. It’s a neat little ocean town that formed from a Methodist meeting camp in the 1870s. (It shares a border with Asbury Park, for you Springsteen fans out there)

I shot a little essay on the town, which you can see on my website if you like.

About T.J. Kirkpatrick

I am a photojournalist currently interning at the Deseret News. I recently completed an internship with the VII Photo Agency in New York, following several months of freelance work for the Associated Press in the Democratic Republic of Congo. A California native, I earned a B.S. in photojournalism from Boston University. I've worked at the Waterbury, Connecticut, Republican-American and interned at the Newport Daily News in Newport, Rhode Island, the Cox Newspapers Washington Bureau in Washington, D.C. and at the Harvard University News Office. I enjoy meeting people and sharing their stories. I'm interested in leveraging the power of photography to help humanitarian causes and spark social and economic development. When I'm not behind a camera, I can be found darting through city traffic on a fixed gear bicycle or experimenting in the kitchen.
