  • Coney Island in a Day
    One Saturday in May 1994 I met my ICP photo class and teacher, Harvey Stein at a Coney Island coffeeshop for a day of shooting. We photographed each other like a group hug then disbursed, and somehow I never saw anyone from the class again that day. Alone with Pentax in hand, I set my aperture and forced my shy self to connect with strangers all day.

    I became interested in photographing Coney Island after visiting in the over-crowded summertime, but this felt different.  On the long subway ride home to the Upper East Side of Manhattan, I felt like I had found a narrative, but for whatever reason I wound up sharing only an obtuse still life print for class. These pictures lingered for years but I never forgot them or that day.

    To my eyes now, some of these convey verve while some define abandonment. I wonder why I didn’t see it then.
