Coney Island and the Verrazano Narrows Bridge - Brooklyn
I post this contact sheet because I was thinking about the element of chance in photography. I think there's a lot of it. Especially using a Holga camera... There are things that go wrong--like the V-shaped light leak in the upper right edge of each frame, and there are things that go right, like the flare that looks to have danced around the inside of the camera and around the Parachute Jump. Unfortunately, the bad chance won out on this roll, I don't like that light leak (that camera has been retired).
I think it's interesting to show contact sheets, you can see what I may have been trying to to or get at or what I couldn't stop taking pictures of for some reason.
A little history about the Parachute Jump
Reminds me I have a holga shot of the Parachute Jump and the Thunderbolt rollercoaster before the Thunderbolt was torn down.
