As Peter said, it was cold as hell in Coney Island Thursday night. So cold my freshly charged battery died after 4 shots. I think I need to get a new battery to keep warm in my pocket. With 30mph winds and temperatures near zero, my battery wasn’t the only one dying. It was kinda creepy to be the only people out in Coney Island with the near full moon. The wind was creating a sand/garbage storm that made this shoot feel a bit like warfare. Get in, get your shots and get out alive.

Oh, Matt! This shot is GORGEOUS! Love the high clouds, the eerie glow of the moon. The Parachute Jump looks so alien in this shot! Side note: It has a fascinating Wikipedia page here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parachute_Jump
Did you know that, once upon a time, a couple held their wedding mid-air with the wedding party suspended from the ride until they completed their vows? Just sayin… ;)
