To The End of Love


Coney Island - Where one can "dance to the end of love".  What ever that means.
Got to love Coney Island.  It is everything I thought it would be.  A little tacky, lots of people (every type you could ever want to see) and very 'bad for you' food.  Nathan's hot dogs taste just like a hot dog - nothing special.  But when in Rome...
I found this scene in a "back alleys".  I feel sorry for Miss Coney Island and the Alive Chimpanzee.  No one was paying them any attention.  I never found out what this group found so interesting.

The beach was huge, and empty.  As well it should have been at 10:30 in the morning.  The ones who got prime spots most likely were nursing a bad burn the next morning.


This is one place that I need to return.  So many people, so many photo opportunities.

A Quick Diversion

On the subject of "What I would never want to be when I grow up"


No it's not the over-weight guy on the left or the girl in tight shorts on the right...



It's the guy who plays the "human target" in this game on Coney Island.  For $3 you get five shots.  Yes, it's only paint, but it's the thought that counts.  And to be called a "freak" no less. 
I didn't see what they made him wear (I'm assuming it was a he).  I waited, but no one showed up to take a shot.  I should have been the first.  Hard to take photos and shoot at the same time though.

Please excuse the slight diversion...
