CHERRY GROVE, FIRE ISLAND

I’ve found great inspiration
photographing in Cherry Grove
over the past forty years.
This secluded beach town is
a safe haven for LGBTQI+ people,
a place to openly enjoy
the freedom of being whatever
one wants to be.
Hopefully my pictures mirror
the joy,
the passion,
the conflict,
the laughter,
the love, and
the sexual innuendo
found every day in this
remarkable gay community.
