David Godichaud’s will be exhibiting photographs from the series So Coney! at the Galerie Maître-Albert in Paris through February 28th.
Godichaud shot the series in 2011 while living in Brooklyn. The winds of modernization had begun to blow, with the destruction of old sites and homes that had been the very soul of Coney Island for over sixty years. But the New York energy remains, the freedom to be, the freedom I had seen in the black-and-white work of Harold Feinstein years before.
For months he walked along Brighton Beach, photographing the melting pot of Americans from Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx and new Jersey, trying to capture that wild feeling of America emanating from the burning sands of a Coney Island summer.
