Cyclones

I have this Coney Island state of mind. Wherever I look, whatever I find, it's nothing if not second rate to a Nathan's and a ride on rickety wooden cars overlooking hope and madness and never hate.---jESiO

 

As I blog from time to time, Coney Island is one of my muses. Photographer Bruce Gilden spent the 1970s and 1980s there taking pictures which are now going to be on exhibit at the Amador Gallery in NYC. Wish I was there. Instead, below are a few more of my favorite pics from his collection.
