The last one was hilarious...although I'm sure the guilt is eating you alive for sneaking that pic of her (well probably not).<br /> The grit and decay is what makes the pictures soooo good, but then you know that.danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13189950024146583160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3113186568122076748.post-28968665264919132912009-07-21T13:05:01.476-04:002009-07-21T13:05:01.476-04:00Awesome work!!Awesome work!!Theresa Rankinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16535660965303061775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3113186568122076748.post-45196059540226066152009-07-15T17:13:59.883-04:002009-07-15T17:13:59.883-04:00beautiful shots! i've never been there but you...beautiful shots! i've never been there but your shots make me feel like i know the place intimately! <br /><br />although, in regards to the last shot, i really don't want to know that on an intimate level! wow! :pmyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12428241529877534487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3113186568122076748.post-5667237937221201722009-07-14T16:01:57.609-04:002009-07-14T16:01:57.609-04:00This is a wonderful collection!

I do know that a developer is looking to turn this area into a huge attraction much like a Virginia Beach scale, and if it does happen i would imagine it could take a couple of years.<br />Although i like the charm and nostalgia that is here in this run down amusement park, i look forward to seeing it finally get its major facelift as this place has so much potential.<br /><br />Sheila, I'm not sure about the "red hots" but Coney Island was famous for "Nathans Hot Dogs" and the "Cyclone Roller Coaster" which is a frightening old wooden back- breaking roller coaster that still operates today.<br /><br />Dianghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07964296075867476410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3113186568122076748.post-24381614795465056432009-07-13T09:54:25.817-04:002009-07-13T09:54:25.817-04:00I've had a second look; your work has that qua...I've had a second look; your work has that quality of sucking the viewer in: Of seeing things that were missed first time round.

We have Luna Park in Sydney and there was a fire once in the Ghost tunnel part. I always think about it when I see showgrounds. There's something a bit melancholy about them and the people behind them. A strange slice of life. xxJosephine Tale Peddlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16431330956687490112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3113186568122076748.post-23993841855082721622009-07-11T01:27:18.694-04:002009-07-11T01:27:18.694-04:00OMG!!! this was funny and visually exhilarating wi...OMG!!! this was funny and visually exhilarating with all the carny attractions and hoopla.
