Up for air in the deep blue Long Island sea. Shot by Laina Briedis.
As a child, my father used to take my sister and I to the Fire Island lighthouse – it was wonderful. When I got older I decided to go back, and found this nude beach close by. One of my close friends and I returned on a warm day and take full advantage of this discovery. I could not resist the opportunity to take photographs of such a free-spirited moment.
