Coney Island photographers featured in gallery exhibit
Coney Island has long been a photographer’s paradise, from the era of the grand hotels before World War I, to the amusement area’s heyday as a destination for working-class New Yorkers from the 1920s through the 1950s, to its current rebirth.
While Coney Island has captured the imagination of professional photographers worldwide, Coney Island USA is sponsoring an exhibit featuring five photographers who live in or near Coney year-round. They shoot the amusement area not only during the summer months, but during the winter as well.
