The pictures in this book are from Nina Korhonens first photograpy project. During her time as a photography student in Stockholm she traveled to Brooklyn to visit her grandmother Anna and to tell the story about Finntown, a part of Brooklyn that in those days were inhabited by Finnish immigrants.

At the weekends she visited Coney Island, photographing people swimming, adolescents roaming the beach and families picnicking.

”Life and taking photographs were pleasurable, simple and unpretentious. This book is a tribute to all the people I met, and to that which was, which never will be again. Remember.”
