i detest photographs that laugh at people. it's easy to go to coney island and make this type of imagery. it's been done and overdone. and the compositional elements are knee-jerk. much more challenging to make images of substance and depth that showcase this place in a truthful way. this photographer walks down a one-way street.

the pictures were unique and diffrent thats why i think it kept me intrested to see the old coney island before i was born and how it was then but if i was the photography i wouldnt have done so many close ups
