Wonderful in its striking detail and color tones. I read all of the comments and enjoyed reading the technical talent that goes with this piece

Frank Winters

Nice, gritty piece of memorabilia! The grain is great -- Leica & Tri-X? L/F

Madeline Ellis replied:

Thanks Frank. I imagine I used Tri X. For sure it was my Leica M6. It was taken in 1997 so I can't be sure of the film. I did print this in the darkroom. It was taken on a International Center for Photography class trip to Coney. I appreciate the L/F as well.

Madeline Ellis replied:

I just re-read what you wrote. I don't know how I wasn't amazed that you guessed I used a Leica. I am totally flabbergasted that you were able to spot that.

Johny Deluna

Really nice Madeline. I like the patina of age on it.

Madeline Ellis replied:

Thanks so much Johny!

Congrats Madeline ...very well deserved win !!

Thanks Ann and Kathleen! The Freak show in Coney Island is fortunately in the past where it belongs. There is, however, nostalgia attach to the old amusement park where I spent many days joyfully partaking in all the magic it had to offer.
