A Second Look

I’m pretty sure I have posted this photo in the near past. I also included an 8X10 print of it in my current display, that is about to end this Friday. What I have been curious about is the pair of lower legs in the photo, behind the old phone booth. I am not sure if everyone saw and got what I was trying to do with this image: Walking in front of the Coney Island Museum of “Freaks”, etc. is this torso-less being. To me, it was a curious juxtaposition, caught at just the right millisecond. A second later or earlier and the whole body is seen and the statement is lost. No matter how long and hard one looks at this image we will never know the ‘owner’ of the torso that must be attached to the legs we see.

I’m not sure why I am posting these images and even more unclear as to why I took them in the first place. But, here they are.

Coney Island, where sand and ghoulish smiles take over in the off-season.

Art Heist?

On June 1, 2013 By Fred KingIn Thoughts, UncategorizedLeave a comment

I was at the salon this morning, where I have had a photo display for the past 6 weeks, and discovered that someone has taken this photo, without contacting me about payment. If, perchance, that person is reading this blog ( since they did take the display card with my email) I encourage you to contact me ASAP. Although it is flattering that someone would consider my work worthy of theft, I am not in a position to give away my art.

Moon Snails

Was a minus tide yesterday. We spend some time on the beach hunting marine life of all sorts, crabs, snails, sea cucumbers. Here is a few views of the some of the moon snails we encountered. Some were so large they had to be held with two hands as they emerged from their shell. Note the slimey substance wrapping around the fingers above.
