20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
A Trip

This mountain view alone was majestic, but the camper ahead presented an element of nostalgia. Fond childhood memories of family vacations and riding bikes with my brother came flooding back. I felt connected with the people in that camper. Would they one day come across a similar sight? Would they observe the same thoughts? I wanted to capture this image as a way to recall memories of traveling with loved ones.
