@Jett129 That would be my guess too. Seaside Heights would be my second guess.

Thanks @Jett129 !

@GardenState @Jett129 yep, it was Coney Island, 4th July about 10 years ago (The Hot Dog eating competition at Nathans was something else!!!)

@weftyarn If you ever come to NYC,I'd be happy to take you on a NYC Subway photoshoot. Really great pictures.
Oh man, that would be so great!! I’ve never been to NY and will definitely let you know when it happens.
@weftyarn you'd love NY Subway (actually NYC!), some fantastic ops for some great street photography. Some I took last time there…
Oh man, these are amazing @Steve
The second one is an absolute stunner! Exhibition worthy imho…

@Steve @Bailey @Alex You guys really produced some outstanding images over the weekend. Many of them I would print and hang in my home!!
These three were a fun and thought provoking concept that I really enjoyed. I know you were being cheeky and coy, but it really started me thinking…
In the first photo with the clothes intentionally edited out, you eye starts to wander and you see glimpses of the beauty of the room. The hint of artwork hanging on the wall, the ceiling detail, and the little artistic sculptures along the wall in the recessed areas.
I want to see the clothes, but when you can’t your eye wanders.
In the second picture, the clothes are obscured once again and the eye wants to see the clothes but you start to look at the people, the computer screen, and the tiny corners of the clothing that is visible.
In both of these images, I as the viewer feel voyeuristic and I’m viewing something you want me to see, but not.
In the third picture, when everything is removed: the feeling is lost. The room is beautiful and you can see everything clearly but the mystery is gone.
I loved it conceptually and wonder if there is a name for this kind of photography/art.
When I played around with the concept yesterday for my WAYWT photos, I realized how hard a concept it is to execute. Showing the viewer what you as the artist are trying to show, but obscuring the details to make the viewer want more. It activates the imagination and makes the image fun.
None of this probably makes sense, but it’s definitely something I’m going to try playing with. I would love it if you guys want to chime in and give me some pointers.

As a fellow analog photography nerd, I'm extremely happy to have stumbled across this thread!
-
When you say analog, do you mean you shoot film [mention]ChaseD [/mention] , or are you referring to using a camera instead of “phoneography”? I’m genuinely curious if the term analog has transitioned.
Looking forward to seeing some of your shots in the thread!

@sabergirl I am indeed referring to film, but you do bring up an interesting thought about "real" cameras versus phones. Spending entirely too much time and money on cameras and my basement darkroom is a guilty pleasure of mine. I'm mostly in to photographing automotive related things and my kids.
