I doubt I’ll get married again, but if I did, what’s wrong with Coney Island? Must it always be the Hamptons or Tavern on the Green? Why go the $250 per plate route, when a dog a and a brew will only set you back $8 per paper plate. Yes the wedding dress will be ruined from the sand, and yes you will be surrounded by down to earth people with a few dozen tattoos, but so what? I’ve read that more people have fallen in love at Coney Island than anywhere else, so maybe this makes sense. The kids won’t complain a bit, and after everyone gets smashed, there are half a dozen subway lines ready to be your designated driver…

I agree! Great shot!!
Thanks Ed…I didn’t develop the film properly. It came out a little mottled, but I still like the image…I could Pshop the mottling out, but I prefer the honest version…

What is nice about this photograph is the impression of what we don’t see. That, coupled with your caption gives viewers a kind-of dire view of weddings at this location…. even after the savings on costs. But as you say “….so what?”
Kind of idiosyncratic in many ways I think…. to minimise, and then justify the decisions we make is like designing answers for question we haven’t yet afforded to ask ourselves.
I like the space given to the subjects in this portrait orientation. I like the empathy the space adds to the impression and words.
