18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Small but Fearless

My family was visiting Florida, and we while we there we went to Museum of Arts & Sciences in Daytona Beach. While in a room with fossils from the Ice Age, my youngest son wandered off on his own to stare at the assembled skeletal remains of a Giant Ground Sloth. His tiny, fragile body standing in isolation and staring down the fiercely posed skeleton of the giant ground sloth made a perfect picture of contrast, so I shot him with my camera before the moment passed.
