'I’m showing my perspective as a wheelchair user in a space that is plugged, historically, as being for able-bodied people and what that looks like from my point of view,' says RobertAndyphoto in this Fire Island photo essay
Photo: Robert Andy Coombs This trip was my introduction to Fire Island. I’ve been wanting to come here for years now to make work, and to be part of the island’s gay legacy, and was finally able to as part of an artist residency with BOFFO. It feels so good actually being here and seeing all the sites and the traditions. It’s so beautiful: It smells so good; it smells so fresh. It really reminds me of where I grew up, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan — in the middle of nowhere.

There are quite a few newer houses with ramps built into them. I think people are finally realizing that if they’re going to live here for a long time, they’re not going to want to walk up steps when they’re older.
Photo: Robert Andy Coombs This was the first time me and my friend were sharing a bed. He’s very close to me and means a lot to me. We’d just woken up, and I thought it was just kind of a beautiful shot. For this particular image, the flash didn’t go off, so it was a slower shutter speed.
