This is the story in pictures of Atlantic City, the iconic American shore resort, as it emerges from its latest crisis.
"Timothy Roberts profiles Atlantic City as it recovers from near bankruptcy to stage another much-anticipated comeback. Steve Hankin, an Atlantic City attorney who Roberts interviewed, commented We've been through so many phases. This is the final one. This is the last hurrah." -All-About_Photo
"All shot in black and white, Timothy's photographs have a timeless quality. The people Roberts captures are not the high rollers, but regular folk, both residents and visitors, who are there to enjoy Atlantic City's famous beach and boardwalk, rides at the amusement park, fishing off the jetty, among other attractions." -Creative Boom
