Coney Island People 50 Years
Harvey Stein Coney Island images (1970–2020) taken and assembled by a single noted street photographer 170 beautiful and visually strong black-and-white photographs by a well-known and respected photographer Two short but insightful essays about Coney Island and interviews of two important people of Coney Island
Coney Island is an American icon celebrated worldwide, a fantasyland of the past with an evolving present and an irrepressible optimism about its future. It is a democratic entertainment destination where people of all walks of life and places are brought together. There isn’t anywhere else like it, and that is much of its appeal. Here 170 evocative black-and-white images taken by eminent photographer Harvey Stein from 1970 through 2020 simultaneously look back in time while giving a current view of the people and activities of this “poor man’s Riviera.” The images capture the wonder and intimacy of Coney Island. There is no photo book that has been published that documents a 50-year period of a famous location taken by one photographer. Being in Coney Island is like stepping into another society, rather than just experiencing a day’s entertainment. About the Author Harvey Stein is a professional photographer, teacher, lecturer, author, and curator based in New York City. He currently teaches at the International Center of Photography and has taught in several undergraduate and graduate photography programs. Author Location: New York, NY
Includes A detailed historical timeline of Coney Island from 1609 to 2020
