Behind the Photo: "Nathan's At Night"

"Nathan's At Night"


During my year-long documentary shooting of Coney Island for Nathan's, I waited for the right night to get this image (and others).  I needed for it to rain and needed to show patience in waiting for it to stop so that the streets were still wet, creating the reflection of the neon lights.  Luckily, when I arrived, there was about a fifteen-minute interval between showers - I snapped away.

My good friend Will Petzel joined me on this night - I think he enjoyed himself.
