CONEY ISLAND

THE PEOPLE IN THIS PICTURE TAKE A CERTAIN PRIDE IN WHO THEY ARE, AND HOW THEY CAN EXPLOIT THEMSELVES ON ANY LEVEL AT CONEY ISLAND, SOMETHING THEY CANNOT DO ANYWHERE ELSE. THIS EVIDENT PRIDE NEEDS TO BE KEPT IN ORDER TO KEEP THE NAME OF CONEY ISLAND, AND THE PURE THRILL TO ENJOY A DIFFERENT LIFESTYLE AND TYPE OF BEHAVIOR.

THE PIER FLOATS OUT ABOVE THE WATER, PROVIDING A LOOPED DECK FOR PEDESTRIANS TO ACCESS THE WATER VIEWS.
