20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
People and The Natural World Coexisting

It's plain and simple really; I love this photo. I've never actually submitted to a contest before but every time I look at this photo It reminds me how simple life is and I want everyone else to feel that way from a photograph. I was on vacation with my family this past summer in Kauai. We were on the beach and noticed the storm clouds rolling in and it started to sprinkle. I looked to my left and saw how unbothered people were by the rain and the natural world. So here is a film photo of people and the natural world existing unbothered by each other's presence--simply living.
