Our newest Lightbox exhibition is up! Greetings from Coney Island, includes eight stunning panoramic time-lapsed views of the famed seaside amusement park by photographer Jeff Chien-Hsing Liao. Located at the Atlantic Avenue-Barclays subway complex, these photographs were all taken as dusk turned into evening on one summer’s night. Coney Island is back in business and these photos showcase its appeal and attractions. With his long exposures that capture and compress time within each frame, Liao brings the viewer into the picture through his technique of wide angle and expansive viewpoint.    Above: Greetings from Coney Island, selected photographs by Jeff Chien-Hsing Liao, 2013.
