Coney Island Creek
September 30th, 2007 -
Coney Island Creek once divided Coney Island from mainland Brooklyn. It now houses a collection of ruined boats and one dead experimental submarine. This creek, like its Brooklyn siblings the Gowanus Canal and Newtown Creek, was a once thriving waterway. It has now been left to decay and wildlife. Jellyfish, rats and fisherman line its banks.
These photos were taken during an event arranged by the creative group Ars Subterranea, which was founded by Julia Solis.

Emily and Shannon will be excited to get press coverage, no doubt.
nice photos, i especially like the first and last photos!
Stay out of Coney Island you fucking hipsters. Stay away.
Nice shots of the creek! Glad to see its getting used for something other then dumping. What kind of fish were they catching?
Hey these photographs are really interesting. And that arts group sounds great. Thank you for posting about this.
Thanks for the comments - it was an interesting event to attend and to document. Not sure what kind of fish were being caught - the only ones I saw swimming around were pretty tiny.
I guess, because of the anonymous comments posted here, I am going to have to start requiring that any people commenting must at least add a name... anonymous comments will be deleted in the future.
people in your photographs! How rare!

I know! Its a crazy new thing I just thought of! What do you think - should I just photoshop them all out?
Haha. Just kidding.

do you think coney island creek is new or something? apparently nothing can be kept sacred.
Thanks anonymous for your comment. No, Coney Island Creek is not new, and no, it is not sacred. It is just a body of water.
