Group or Groupings
These Groups of statues are part of the mausoleum for Charles Feltman. Who was he? He was a businessman who amassed a large fortune from his properties in Coney Island. He is often credited as the inventor of the hot dog- because he was the first person to put the sausage in the bun. There’s an interesting story about Feltman and the other (more) famous Coney Island hot dog vendor, Nathan’s. Read it here. Moral of the story: There’s money in hot dogs!
And the other three:
I don’t have a good photo of the whole monument, but here’s one I took in bright sunshine:

your posting shows very well the transience of human beings; the riches and the poor ones have to leave with empty hands.
Nice processing! I like the slightly gritty texture of the crisp looking statues.
Oh man…I wish I would have invented the hot dog! 🙂
I love the grouping of the lovely ladies…the textures and beautiful faces make these very interesting!
Congrats on not missing a day of the photowalk!!!
I’ve actually heard of this man – he’s got some babes watching over him.
Your middle photo is my favorite – I love your composition. Looks as if you are enjoying exploring black and white posts – love it!
Nice detail in the shots! I have to wonder if it was sort of a generic design or if Mr. Feltman had been very specific about what he wanted.
Wow, there sure does seem to be some riches attributed to hot dogs! I heard that Mr. French’s crypt is made of solid gold mustard seed.
I love your processing on the groupings!
This pretty much defines “ostentatious.” I like the top one the best with its high contrast and gritty texture: it looks like an ink print.
Oh how I love vintage graveyard art! Those figurines are so special!
Yikes! Are those the muses of meat? Beauties of by-products? Who knew?
Beautiful but kinda creepy too! lol. Need some plants in those urns though.
