"Coney Island"
Property of Larry Nicosia
It was obvious to me that I should feature a photographer for this week's Etsy Wednesday, you know...in celebration of my new toy, but once I start to look through other people's photography, I just can't stop. Hence the late-in-the-day post.
When I finally came across Larry Nicosia's Etsy Shop, it was love at first sight.
The first shot that drew me to Larry's shop was "Sandstorm on the Beach", another minimal yet provocative piece like the one above. However, it's very important when I feature an Etsy artist that the entire shop be something I want to promote, so I scanned through most of the photos.
There isn't one single shot that I wouldn't mind having in my home. Some more so than others of course, but they're all beautiful.
It's the same way I feel about any visual art. I want it to be beautiful and make a statement but even more importantly, I want to tell my own story. So in the end, I usually find myself lingering on the more minimal pieces. Like this amazing print you see above.
You know by the title that it's Coney Island, one of the loudest, brightest places in Brooklyn, NY. What's unique about this shot is the sense of calm I get at first glance and then a little excitement creeps in when I think about what was going on over there in the park.
The only issue I have is that I want it as a giant print. Y'know, one of those pieces that's 5 feet long and covers a wall. This gorgeous 6.5x16.5" print will do just fine however, and it's only $29. For that price you could easily purchase another one of his prints and pair them up.
Oh, and as an extra added bonus, this weeks artist is from my current hometown of Brooklyn and he's very new to Etsy. So why don't you head over, check out his stuff and even drop him a line to let him know you like it, even if you can't buy your own print today.

wow, what a fabulous find! He has some really great pictures. I would love to get the night one or the one with the fog surrounding the Verrazano bridge in poster form, to put on a large wall! I love those, but they are so expensive!
I love the Coney Island shot. Beautiful balance and color. It would be fabulous alone or even better with a pair of the smaller shots underneath. Great find, and bookmarked. Thanks.
