A powerful historical documentary that examines the missions that introduced the world to the nuclear weapon. On August 6, 1945, the Enola Gay dropped the uranium-based Little Boy on Hiroshima. Three days later, on August 9, 1945, Bockscar delivered the plutonium-based Fat Man to Nagasaki.

Hiroshima Day Peace Photography Project

Each year, on Hiroshima Day, our community gathers in the quiet glow of the Buddhist temple to remember, to reflect, and to recommit ourselves to peace. I photograph this event freely—capturing portraits, rituals, lanterns, and the shared humanity that fills the space. These images are offered to everyone at no cost, as a small contribution to a much larger message: peace is something we build together.
Your support helps keep this project alive.

The Coney Island Mermaid Parade began in 1983 as an imaginative, grassroots celebration of Coney Island’s unique cultural heritage. Created by Dick Zigun—often affectionately called the “Mayor of Coney Island”—the parade was conceived as a vibrant alternative to traditional festivals, drawing inspiration from the Mardi Gras parades of early twentieth-century Coney Island. Zigun’s vision was to offer local residents an opportunity to transform everyday street life into a fantastical, art-infused celebration that embraced mythology, self-expression, and community pride.
