“I was born here and have always said that I went straight from the womb to the first roller coaster,” writes American photographer Harold Feinstein about his love for Coney Island. For decades to come, sand, surf, wide sidewalks, attractions and the opportunity to relax, forgetting about restrictions, became sources of inspiration for him.
