Description: Coney Island is an amazing place to photograph, even though the place is changing quickly and most of the “old” Coney Island is disappearing… You’ll find many native visitors and mostlikely you will bump into a few characters to photograph. The summer is obviously the best time to visit the beach, but Coney Island is nice all year around… be it rainy days in the fall or ice swimmers during the winter. The Freak show is great, but will be gone by next year – the Aquarium is worth a visit too.
