21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Chucking the Bird at Your Mom

I brought my three kids to a local fair with the intention of letting them go on rides, eat all the fair food, and snapping some photos of their fun. I did have one request...please let me take a nice photo of you on the carousel. Two thirds of my children complied...this is my middle son. I was concentrating so hard on focusing as he whizzed by me that I had no idea he had flipped me off until I looked at my photos afterwards. I wasn't even mad...this represents his personality quite well.
