22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Sunset Swim at Edisto

My son floating in the water at sunset, silhouetted against the water. He wanted to be in the water as much as possible, and would have happily swam well into darkness. I was taking sunset images over the Edisto River when he entered the frame, and I was struck by the unsettling feeling it gave me, the vastness of the water and sky compared against his small, still silhouette.
