23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People

Copacabana beach is filled with vendors who spend their days selling things like food, jewelry, shirts, and - in this case - hats to beachgoers. I wanted to capture what that life is like, what it's like to be one of those people out there every day.
