23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Look What's Left of Our Childhood

This photo is part of a series I did in Nashville called "Remember When Nashville Felt Mauve?". It's of places that reminded me of my childhood in Nashville. This swing is in Edgehill Projects. The reason for the mauve coloring of this image and the others in the series is because my childhood memories are literally colored mauve in my head. This swing feels like a relic of a childhood we outgrew too fast.
