Coney Island, Early June 2005, One Really Hot Sunday

My first visit to Coney Island, to New York, to US. Got lost. No money, no telephone, nothing but my camera and three rolls of film. To beat the panic I started taking pictures. It is pretty impossible not to take an interesting photograph in a place like Coney Island. Miraculously found my friends in the bar (?!). Got a scar on my left arm from the Cyclone ride to prove it all.

The last six photographs from the set are NY cliches. Simply could not help myself.

dkelly you captured in some of these a genuine feeling of the area, i've been there many times , soon they will be tearing down lots of coney , it is sad really.
this summer will be the last for astroland i believe. I will be going to the mermaid parade to document it.

Dragana It is sad, what a great place. I do not plan to go back until next year. Good friend of mine Gina Brocker is having a show in NY 29th of May ... she was selected for the book 25 under 25 (25 American photographers under the age of 25). If you are free you could have a look. I will send you the details :)

Matilda  Müller These are truly good report-pics!
I like your proposes (if they are like this) - to catch that great daily moments doesnt matter what kind of subjects/objects you have in front...
I just like youre simple and artistic "everyday" photos.
Keep on going' dear Dragana:-)
I dodji nam u Hr pa da malo fotkamo skupa jedno popodne, kad bude lijepo vrijeme..hihihi

dMatic Sviđa mi se taj tvoj 6x6, i moram priznati da jako dobro hvataš emocije kod ljudi koje slikaš, tješim se da je to zbog aparata, nije SLR pa su ljudi opušteniji jer za vrijeme fotografiranja vide lice fotografa.
