Coney Island, Home To A Billion Great Pictures

I’m convinced that everything great that ever happened in the universe happened somewhere in Coney Island. The proof is in the seemingly never ending supply of incredible photographs and movies taken at Coney Island over the decades that come across our desks.

The latest amazing photo collection comes courtesy of photographer Stephen Salmieri and his portfolio capturing the joyful, life affirming and bizarre in a series of remarkably beautiful shots. The photographs were taken between the years of 1965 to 1970. While we’ve presented a few of his photographs here, be sure to click on the link above and peruse the dozens of incredible images he captured through his gorgeous black and white photography.

Thanks to Stephen Salmieri for his wonderful work.
