During the Summer of 2007 Craig memorialized a slice of life from Coney Island. Using a 4x5 camera, mulitple backdrops, and an outrageous idea, Craig brought people to his outdoor studio to create movie stars on the boardwalk.
These Chromogenic Prints capture the true vibrance of an August day that only Coney Island can provide.
Yes the world is the best place of all
for a lot of such things as
making the fun scene
and making the love scene
and making the sad scene
and going swimming
in the middle of the summer
and just generally
'living it up'
Yes
but then right in the middle of it
comes the smiling
--Lawrence Ferlinghetti
