Peter Granser's book on Coney Island caught my eye recently when I was having a browse through the library. Firstly because I have recently been to NYC and made a visit to Coney Island as well as taking my own photographs when I was there. I think it is such an exciting place to take photographs because it is such an unusual place. It is now extremely run down and decrepit and full of odd characters, which make for interesting photographical content. There is also something about Coney Island that lends itself really well to colour photographs as it is jam packed with faded paintwork and interesting hand painted signs. Granser's photographs both the buildings and the people in a very charming way that still portrays Coney Island as an interesting place to visit. Below is one of the photographs I took when I was in Coney Island recently.
