Coney Island Photos at Museum of the City of New York

In time for summer, an exhibition of the photographs of Aaron Rose is now on at the Museum of New York City.  Taken beginning in 1961, they show New Yorkers being themselves at NYC’s most popular beach.  One of the earliest art photographers to use C-prints in their work, ‘In a World of Their Own: Coney Island Photographs by Aaron Rose’ runs until August 3rd.  More information here.

Very Cool. Last year PHeymont took me to Coney Island and we were lucky enough to see the Carousel that had recently been restored . That  craftsmanship alone is worth the trip to Coney Island.
