Post image for New York City Decay 1

For February I wanted to focus on some of the NYC decay that I’ve been seeing around more and more. In this first post I wanted to show you some of the Coney Island scenes that I’ve seen.

It’s just a shame that they have let it come to this. click to continue…

I’d sit up for hours thinking about ideas and hoping they would come out the way I hoped. I was scoping locations when I was riding the train to work and thinking of ways to make things work when I had free time. All of this was not that much help when I went to shoot. click to continue…
