With the impending redevelopment of Coney Island there has been some wistful recollection on the photo blogs of late. I thought I would join the wake and show some photos from my Coney Island series as part of my Photo of the Week feature. Coney Island has been a rite of passage for a lot of New York photographers and back in 2003 I took my turn at trying to capture the curious charm of this faded beach town. The photos you will see over the next few weeks are some of the first pictures I ever took as a photographer.
