Since 1970, when world-renowned photographer Harvey Stein first
turned his discerning eye toward Coney Island, his love affair with
this New York beachfront amusement park began to grow. Over 200
compelling black and white photos tell the tale of his 40-year
romance with this iconic locale. Entering Coney Island through his
lens is like stepping into another culture, capturing the lives and
times of those who work and play there. There is a sense of
adventure, a thrilling escape from daily worries, and much
pleasure, whether riding the jarring Cyclone roller coaster,
walking the boardwalk, viewing the Mermaid Parade, or sunbathing on
the beach. Coney Island, America's first amusement park, is
celebrated worldwide. It is a fantasyland of the past with an
irrepressible optimism about its future.
