Behind the Photo: "Wonder This Way"

"Wonder This Way"


Coney Island, 2009.  One of the photos that led to my commission by Nathan's Famous to shoot and document Coney Island to furnish the walls of their new corporate headquarters.  The park was closed - it was off-season - and I saw this sign (from the rear), while I was shooting The Cyclone which is located on a public street.  I imagined Berenice Abbott standing in my spot 75 years earlier snapping the same shot.
