22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
A Game of Soccer

I went to Mana Pools in Zimbabwe in August of 2024 to photograph elephants and lions. In addition to its beautiful landscape, Mana Pools is amazing for photography because you are on foot most of the time. It was late in the afternoon and the light was almost gone. We were on our way back to camp after an incredible day when we drove past a group of young men playing Soccer.
