Fire Island
Fire Island is all legs, tan lines, and temptation — and thanks to my BOFFO artist residency, I got to spend Pride Month 2022 rolling through it all, capturing it from a view no one’s shown before. With my camera mounted to my wheelchair and a shutter release between my teeth, I fired every shot with my tongue — catching golden skin, swinging bulges, and flirtations at eye level. Cherish, marshall, and Danny had my back every step (or roll) of the way, making this work possible. These images offer a first-of-its-kind look at Fire Island through the eyes of a disabled gay photographer — raw, sweaty, and unapologetically intimate. This isn’t just documentation; it’s my way of putting you right in my seat, surrounded by sun, flesh, and the kind of heat that keeps this island legendary.
