Monthly Archives: March 2012.jpg) As I come to the end of the Coney Island winter series, I still have some images I think are usable but I also continue to think I’ve about spent the time that should be devoted to them on the blog. I’m considering an ebook, but distribution and e-commerce get complicated quick. Free distribution is… .jpg) There it is. That moment. That exact moment. It’s why I get up so damn early on a Saturday. Sunrise on the beach, Coney Island. Happy Friday all, and thanks for all the comments, visits, support and feedback. Tweet .jpg) I’m fascinated by the whitewashed silhouette of a person in the sign. Did the clam bar have to obscure it, and if so, why? Tweet .jpg) If you take the subway to Coney Island, you can get off either here at the Aquarium stop or at the Coney Island terminal two blocks down. As this stop comes first, I would expect that many impatient travelers would get off the train here, and if you’re on this end of the train platform,…  Very little remains of the glory that was Gregory & Pauls, later known as Paul’s Daughter, on the Coney Island boardwalk. It may or may not still re-open, or be relocated. Accounts vary. But the glorious signage is now almost all gone, leaving only this figure and his counterpart, affectionately known as Mama Burger and… .jpg) I love the colors I got from simple Kodak 400 Gold film. They do seem just a bit off somehow, maybe a bit too much purple in the sky, but I love them nonetheless. The Coney Island Boardwalk is mostly, but not completely deserted, on a winter morning in January 2012. Tweet  The New York Aquarium is located in Coney Island, and the subway stop is only a couple of long blocks from the Coney Island Terminal Station I showed earlier, although the entrance and structure is a lot less imposing. What caught my eye here were the shadow patterns on the steps. Tweet .jpg) Stillwell Avenue, at the heart of Coney Island. That’s Nathan’s barely visible on the extreme right edge of the frame. Across the street is a row of new storefronts that lie empty. Whether they have tenants lined up for the start of the season I do not know. A few short years ago there was…  I’m struck by how small the base of the Parachute Jump tower is.

Tweet  This is the entrance to Luna Park, which I suppose is now the largest amusement park area in Coney Island. That’s the Cyclone behind it. Tweet .jpg) Due to webmaster’s error, yesterday’s post did not make it up until about 9pm Eastern, so please check it out if you missed it. This is Bowery Street, which is really more of an alley. If you look closely, you can notice several details that I featured in individual images. Bowery was named for the… .jpg) I went back and forth over whether to include this. I guess it is an accidental shutter actuation, but I’m not even sure of that. For the most part, it is a bit harder to accidentally set off the shutter on my old film cameras than on newer digital models. The composition could be better,… .jpg) That’s a somewhat unusual double-decker elevated subway straight ahead. You can see a train passing through on the lower elevated level. Tweet .jpg) The one week break from all film all-the-time i sover, and it’s time to load up another 3 weeks of film shots from Coney Island and Grand Central. as you can see, this week will again feature black and white shots from Coney island. Tweet  This is just around the corner from Peck Slip. The rest of the building looks much newer and modern. I’m not sure how it all fits together. It might be that an old building added new windows and doors except for this one. Clearly, however, this detail was the most interesting element in the structure…. |
