My Swim Story: Paul Frangipane
Photography led Paul to reconnect to his city and his swimming.
In the summer of 2021, I set out to document New York harbour, looking at it as the vital piece of New York city that it is, as an accessible body of water for city dwellers to enjoy. Camera in hand, I canoed on superfund sites, kayaked in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty and observed a volunteer-run water testing initiative. But of course the most striking form of water recreation in the stigmatised city waters, is swimming.
