Under siege, New Orleans, Louisiana, 2014

I found a moment filled with multiple incongruities within this scene of tourists crossing an intersection in the heart of the French Quarter. On the left side of this image, a mother is trying to extract a child from the shoulders of her husband. On the right side of the frame, yet another mother reaches for the hand of a tearful little boy who appears to be lunging for his sister instead. The image is dominated, however, by the calm presence of that sister. She turns towards her weeping little brother, while simultaneously tolerating a sneak attack from behind, as yet another sibling grabs at her waist.
