Inquiring Photographer: Summer Plans in the Bronx

This week we asked readers their plans for the upcoming summer season.

Inq_Photo-1Well, I’m planning to get a few extra credits at my school so I can graduate earlier. Having some fun, celebrating my holiday Ramadan, in which we fast for the entire month. It starts on June 6 and ends July 6. And I will help take care of my dad’s two stores and try and have a little fun.

Inq_Photo-2I’m going to rest, relax and enjoy the weather until the cold comes back. In Norwood, I like coming to the Williamsbridge Oval Park where I play soccer and basketball, work out and stretch. It’s a good place.

Inq_Photo-3We usually go to Central America, but this year because we have a 1-year-old named Monte, we’re going to go to Rhode Island, do a road trip, and stay close. But then we’ll do little day trips down here. We love to come to Morris Park. I get all my food here from the bakery and the meat market and they always have these little parties on the street.

Inq_Photo-4I kind of play it by ear. I do celebrate my birthday in August. I plan to go skateboarding in the city at Union Square or long-board to Orchard Beach or visit the beach at Coney Island, and working my summer job.

I’m going to go visit Disney World, and when I come back I will visit Orchard Beach. I will also play basketball with my friends at Loretto Park.
