Anonymous Swimmers 2019
During the month of August, I invited people via social media to have their picture taken in an inflatable pool in my mother’s back yard. I had 30 volunteers – some of whom were strangers to me – come to the very private yard and have a swim. Sessions lasted from a few minutes to about an hour. In every case, I got at least one remarkable photo.
