Coney Island - A place or turbulent existence. Formerly an Island in the most south part of Brooklyn. A thriving amusement park saw the Island bustling with hot 50's pin up wanna be's and dapper tailored males. After years of neglect after the war and housing Hollywood flicks such as "the Warriors" Coney has gained a significant stigma for dilapidated signature photography. If your into the whole 50's Americana colours and back drops its so worth a visit. I try and shoot it every time we are in NY. These photos are from the last time i went over when Coney was under threat from various aggressive housing associations. Word on the street is that Coney got saved, so il be there in two weeks to find out. for now here is Coney as they began to dismantle it...
