23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Nadia, arranging

My girlfriend and I are long distance. A day during our first meeting, eleven days long and during the suffocating heat of June in a house without central air conditioning, she commented that our cameras and glasses were very “us.” She arranged them for a photo to post online or send to her friends. I took a photo of her delicately arranging them.
