Summer Vacation. Ingram, TX. by Bella Kirchner
This was a candid shot of my niece and son playing with stickers at some cabins we were staying at in Ingram, Texas this summer. To me, this photo epitomizes the American Moment of a summer vacation: wet hair from swimming, a bathing suit as the day’s outfit, towels drying in the background, being silly with your cousin.

“The rolling, puffy clouds and pastel-colored waves at sunset on my vacation to Zanzibar reminded me of Frank Stella’s swirling, colorful K.43 sculpture.”
