thoughts on shots: July 2007

recently, i went out to coney island to shoot. the few hours just before i left to go to the subway i was thinking - why go out to coney island? yeah, there's the cyclone, and that ferris wheel, and whole lot of random people on the boardwalk - but all of that is predictable. i just didn't think i'd be able to find the timbre of pictures i like to take.

i was kind of wrong. there was all of that. crazy boardwalk, ride lights flashing, and everyone from the russian babes to the bodega party on the beach. but there were also some interesting moments, quite apart from the flying frenzy, that i could walk up to.

i love this camera, by the way. Contax G2 - it's a 35mm rangefinder. so quiet no one ever knows i'm right there.
