Wings

Earlier this year I gave a talk on photography to my grandson's fourth grade class. One of the students asked if I have a favorite photo; yes this one. It's a shot I took that was published in a National Geographic Your Shot online story about imaginative photography with the caption "Imagine if you could fly on white wings.". It was then published in the June 2014 issue of National Geographic Magazine. It's my favorite because it reminds me of what's possible if you allow your imagination to soar.
