21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Paths

Is there a judge? Are we the judge? This photo is part of a series called 'Sky Diving.' This series could be used as a way to see your life from an outside view. Starting with the common event of entering life, this series wanders through places where all of us have spread. This picture represents choices and judgments. Who is watching? Is it you? Is it others? Is it Him? Choices may seem obvious, but something sticks to your skin: Is choosing really that easy? Here, the blue sky is the guide. From a warm cradle to a peaceful place, the blue sky carries numerous positive connotations. But as you navigate the picture, an anxious feeling may appear: too vast, too unknown. The blue sky could lose its warmth."
