Ok so I haven't even attempted to blog for weeks but I can't really be blamed because I'm in New York and there's much better things to be doing! But I will attempt to make it up some how. So I went to Coney Island on Saturday, I have to say it was tackier, more garish and more derelict than I could ever have imagined. I enjoyed it so much though. It was worth the 1 hour train ride just for the painted signs. I will post more, I have literally hundreds of photos!
I have observed that New Yorkers have an obsession with silly little dogs. Everyone seems to have at least one. Some people have swarms of them and some seem to own normal dogs just to walk alongside their silly little dogs to make them look even smaller. It seems that the Pug is a favourite, as well as this thing (above), which I don't know the name of. I have started taking photos of them covertly, which is proving difficult as people seem not to like you taking photos of their dogs. I hopr to have quite a collection by the end of this trip!
I loved this photo so much, until a friend pointed out that it was a composite of 2 photos (you can see it clearly when you look at the fence). I still love it now, but for different reasons. I'm pretty sure the background is somewhere like Thailand, but I couldn't say where the man is from and wether or not he's in fancy dress. I would love to know why this photo was made. Fake holiday snaps maybe?
