Summer in the City (6 Photos)

All photos © Giovanni Savino

Many generations of New Yorkers have opened fire hydrants in order to cool off on hot summer days. Giovanni Savino, who is based in New York City and the Caribbean, documented the tradition in the Bronx using an iPhone. He says the mobile device helped him “get closer to my subjects and shoot more candidly than I probably could have done with a professional camera.”

    Great pictures. Goes to show that a vision and the photographers eye is much more important than the technology used for capture.
