I can't remember the last time I actually jumped with excitement.

The thing I like about digital cameras is the happiness people get out of looking at their photos. It's not as appealing with DSLRs, but people are really cute with their P&S cameras.

So, I thought this kid's hat was adorable and was quite obviously maneuvering towards him for a photo. The dad spotted me and cleverly decided to smush the kid's face instead. I still took it...seemed worth it.

Eric is 19, from East New York, and has been "the freak" for 6 years. A continual jokester, he likes to say he "had to break down my HOUSE to make" the original cardboard armor he wore when he started. Cute.

Eric is 19, from East New York, and has been "the freak" for 6 years. He isn't required to clean up the lot, he just gets bored during the slow periods.

Manager Tommy and freak Eric. I think Eric gets lonely during the slow times...he climbs up a lot.

Oh, and Tommy LOVES this t-shirt of classic Coney Island. Feel free to toss him a compliment if you see him wearing it.
