Yesterday I went with some friends to Coney Island and what a wonderful day it was. At age 26 I rode my first ever rollercoaster (an 85 year-old relic from the past named the Cyclone) and challenged my fear of heights. It is also a photographer’s dream out there. Definitely recommend a day trip for anyone coming to New York when the weather is still good. It is amazing to think about all the memories that other people have made there for decades before you – all the people who were terrified riding the Cyclone, or the couples who walked hand-in-hand on the boardwalk….
Coney Island – Death Cab for Cutie

Everything was closed at coney island, and i could not help from smiling.
I can hear the atlantic echo back roller coaster screams from summers past.

Brooklyn will fill in the beach eventually and everyone will go except me.

Your photography is beautiful. I particularly like the one with the children and the seagulls. I’ve never been to Coney Island, but I would very much like to. It must be wonderful being able to travel like you do!
Thank you Victoria – it is my second favorite photo. The one with the man flying the kite is my personal favorite. You should definitely visit it, and I feel incredibly lucky to be able to see so much. However I also think that every city has so much on offer – people just need to be willing to explore and dig deeper in some of them. Where do you live?
I live in upstate New York, at the base of the Adirondacks.
How long are you in New York for?
Indefinitely – at least till August next year
love all of your shots! coney island is so amazing, you’re pictures really showe the vibe there!
Thank you so much – such an interesting mood there – the mix of families, young people, the local Eastern European population and the air of nostalgia and old glory days.
