@Scatola_kubicA Glad you enjoy Harold Feinstein's work. However, this is not a Harold Feinstein photograph. I am his widow and we were married 27 years. I know every photo he ever took. This is not one of them. Don't know whose it is. https://t.co/XD7ObiRakX

Here is our director, Judith Thompson, giving a tour of the exhibition on opening day. She talks about one of our favorite images "Haitian man with daughter, Coney Island, 1949" and how Harolds warm embrace allowed him to capture such an intimate moment. ⁠

Hand in hand on the boardwalk, 1955

Take a walk with someone you love today. Remember the simple things and the innocence of children.

Happy Valentine's Day 2023

Asleep on boardwalk bench, 1948

One of Harold's great shots all about love taken with the Rolleiflex he borrowed from his neighbor when he was 17.

May your Valentine's Day bring you close to those you love.

Harold snapped this one on the train platform as troops were departing for Korea. Missing him on Valentine's Day. Hope yours is filled with love and beauty.

Harold Feinsteins's business card, 1974

This card Harold made so suits the man! Wish I'd had him create one for me!

Magic Carpet Slide, 1957
Coney Island Nights #19

I'm guessing this ride doesn't exist anymore. Anyone know when it was shut down?

Thrilling Gyro Ride, 1950
Coney Island Nights #18

I'm guessing this ride was more thrilling that I would really be ready for. But not Harold...though the Parachute Jump was his favorite!

Boardwalk Rail at night, 1989

"Coney Island has so many faces. During the day you've got the sun, the joy, the hot dogs and at night the lights and the lonelier side of life. People sleeping on the benches with no place else to go. Just like life. " Harold Feinstein

Merry-go-round double exposure, 1951
#haroldfeinstein

"The boardwalk at night was all about the lights. This double exposure was a bit like double scooped ice cream cone! The more the merrier." Harold Feinstein

Portrait Sketch Artist II, 1989

When Harold was just a lad, he would go to the boardwalk with the 30¢ his father gave him. After spending it on rides and candy he would earn the money for the trolley home by drawing portraits. Wonder what those looked like...
