New York in the 1940s. Three young people dive into the waters of the East River.
A superb graphic composition in the purest style of this great photographer, a native of New York.

The Queensboro Bridge is visible in the background of the photograph. This bridge connects Queens to Manhattan and crosses the East River. A structure of size proportional to the city, with two levels and 10 lanes, extending for over a kilometer. It even inspired Simon & Garfunkel's song "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)" in 1966.
