23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
The Price of Thirst
A fleeting scene captured from a moving vehicle on the road from Uyo. In many roadside communities across Nigeria, access to clean water is a daily commerce rather than a given right. A young child stands amidst the jerry cans at a "Water for Sale" depot. The image highlights the intersection of childhood responsibility and the infrastructure challenges of the region, set against the lush greenery of the Niger Delta.
