Here is our director, Judith Thompson, giving a tour of the exhibition on opening day. She talks about one of our favorite images "Haitian man with daughter, Coney Island, 1949" and how Harolds warm embrace allowed him to capture such an intimate moment.

Hand in hand on the boardwalk, 1955
Take a walk with someone you love today. Remember the simple things and the innocence of children.
Happy Valentine's Day 2023
Asleep on boardwalk bench, 1948
One of Harold's great shots all about love taken with the Rolleiflex he borrowed from his neighbor when he was 17.
May your Valentine's Day bring you close to those you love.
Bidding Farewell, 1952
Harold snapped this one on the train platform as troops were departing for Korea. Missing him on Valentine's Day. Hope yours is filled with love and beauty.

Harold Feinsteins's business card, 1974
This card Harold made so suits the man! Wish I'd had him create one for me!

It's been almost 64 years since this photograph appeared in The New York Times arta section celebrating Harold's show at the legendary Helen Gee's Limelight gallery.

I'm guessing this ride doesn't exist anymore. Anyone know when it was shut down?

Thrilling Gyro Ride, 1950
Coney Island Nights #18
I'm guessing this ride was more thrilling that I would really be ready for. But not Harold...though the Parachute Jump was his favorite!

Boardwalk Rail at night, 1989
"Coney Island has so many faces. During the day you've got the sun, the joy, the hot dogs and at night the lights and the lonelier side of life. People sleeping on the benches with no place else to go. Just like life. " Harold Feinstein
Merry-go-round double exposure, 1951
#haroldfeinstein
"The boardwalk at night was all about the lights. This double exposure was a bit like double scooped ice cream cone! The more the merrier." Harold Feinstein
Portrait Sketch Artist II, 1989
When Harold was just a lad, he would go to the boardwalk with the 30¢ his father gave him. After spending it on rides and candy he would earn the money for the trolley home by drawing portraits. Wonder what those looked like...

"I believe we were born wise and taught to be stupid, and this is why I'm optimistic. Because as a teacher, I'm an ally. I know that that centraol wisdom is there, and that central goodness is there." Quote from 1977 Class at Windham College.

Another quiet moment on the beach in Coney Island. Feeling the chill of autumn. Don't know if they let you have a campfire on the beach anymore.
