A small barrier island at the tip of southern New Jersey, Wildwood is home to the highest concentration of mid-century modern motel architecture in the United States. But with only a short three-month tourist season, for the rest of the year, Wildwood is near deserted, frozen in time until the next summer season rolls around. Photographer Mark Haven captures the nine months of silence.
