Ray Fisk

RAY FISK was one of the first editors and photographers on Long Beach Island's alternative weekly, The SandPaper, joining college friends on the small staff with issue #7, before the paper even had an office. He planned to stay on the Island only through that summer but never left. (LBI does that to people.) Based on the Island, he then worked in the New Jersey and Shore region for over decade and a half as a full-time photojournalist for The New York Times and United Press International as well as other major publications. He founded Down The Shore Publishing from his home in a land-locked houseboat in Harvey Cedars, and has published over 100 titles with nearly three-dozen authors.
