Tara Pixley, PhD. This series is such a vibrant, loving rendering of Coney Island imbued with even more meaning in our current COVID reality where a carefree summer like this might not be possible again for some time. Beautiful images, incredible eye for motion, connection and compelling moments. One of the best series in this contest, hands down.
For under a 3 dollar subway ride, Coney Island has been a summer destination for New Yorkers for over 200 years trying to beat the heat and hectic pace of the city during the summer. The resort town has been threaten with gentrification but still has been able to keep its urban working class charm.
