Coney Island

Photographs by Stephen Salmieri in the 60s + 70s. The photographer would often take his street photography into the studio.

"My favorite pictures came from meeting, relating, and connecting with people—getting some kind of relationship. I would go back to places like Coney Island and show them the contact prints. And then sometimes they would come to the studio.”

Wow.. Shared by an accordionist friend. Putting aside the exoticising tone of the newsreel, this is a fascinating glimpse of Roma life in New York at the end of the 1930s. The accordionist is recognizable as Mishka Ziganoff, a Christian Roma klezmer musician & recording artist of the 1910s and 1920s. Too bad the audio quality is so bad.
