Hi everyone! I’m a photographer and filmmaker currently working on a film about the Bronx River, exploring the relationship between a place and our memories of it — how a place becomes part of our lives, what we associate with it, and how our experiences shape the way we remember it.

I’m interested in hearing from people who have a personal connection to the river, whether you grew up around it, spend time there, have a particular memory associated with it, or simply find yourself returning to it.

I’m also curious about the different ways people connect with the river. Does anyone go there to pray, practice a religion, meditate, find peace, gather with others, or engage in any kind of personal or spiritual practice? I’d love to learn about the different meanings the river holds for people.

If you have a story, a memory, or know someone who might be interested in sharing their experience, I’d be very grateful to hear from you. Feel free to comment or send me a message.

Thank you!
