Part 1: Color

We went to Coney Island on New Year’s Day to photograph those crazy fools who dive into the ocean in the middle of winter. It was drizzling but the temperature actually wasn’t bad. My only concern was not getting my cameras and lenses wet.

“I haven’t seen my balls since 11am, I probably won’t see them again until March.”

“When the water hits, your balls turn into labia.” So said one of these guys.

This guy went into the water with his Hasselblad

I’ll send out the black and white next week, and then I will return to my monthly schedule. Say hi!

Until next time…
