Coney Island

Once called by New Yorkers the playground of the world - people in the Big Apple do have a deserved but overblown image of themselves - this once really fun place fell victim to economic prosperity. People now travel and even the Hampton are becoming passé. The beach is still there but many of the old rides are not. Coney Island is sadly a place where you go if you cannot afford to go anywhere else. Nevertheless, it still has it's charm. These are some of my favorite shots from the film days. All shot with Kodachrome II and scanned. Some of these places are no longer standing.
