everything was closed at coney island




the idea with pre-college is that it crams all the activities of a year of art school into four weeks. things like visiting artist lectures, art history, and trips to d.c. and new york. yesterday was the new york trip. same deal as during the school year. four hours on a bus back and forth, and approximately 7 hours in the city. however, this time around i was helping one of the painting teachers who had a decidedly different new york experience in mind. instead of spending the day at the whitney or the like, i found myself at coney island. eating nathan's famous hot dogs (watch out kobiachi) and doling out $7.50 for a freak show. i made sure to rent a camera from av for this one. (because i still have yet to get the ball rolling with camera researching/purchasing...)

and i'm pretty sure that the sky was exactly how i had expected the sky in coney island to be. just this pure solid shade of bright light blue. beautiful. in a bizarre way.

edit: i thought i would clarify after learning of my parent's confusion. coney island was not closed. go listen to some death cab.
