One newspaper photographer decided to take photos from a different angle. He got in an airplane and flew over the closed beaches. He flew close to the governor's summer house. The house is owned by the state and paid for by taxes collected from residents. It sits along a state-owned beach that, because of the shutdown, was closed to the public.

Andrew Mills is the photographer. He wrote about how he got the photos for the website NJ.com. He said that he and an airplane pilot predicted that Christie and his friends and family might be out enjoying the closed beach.
安德鲁·米尔斯(Andrew Mills)是这位摄影师。他写到了如何为NJ.com网站拍摄到了这些照片。他说,他和一名飞行员预计克里斯蒂和他的家人朋友可能会到封闭的海滩上游玩。
They were right. As Mills wrote: "There Christie was, with family and friends, on a long and empty stretch of beach."
他们猜对了。正如米尔斯所写的:“克里斯蒂和他的家人朋友在空旷的海滩上。”
The photographer and pilot made two trips over the beach near the governor's home. Mills took many pictures of the group. More than 20 of them were put online.
这位摄影师和飞行员两次飞过了州长官邸附近的海滩。米尔斯拍了很多照片,其中20多张被发上了网。
