Adam Deckerd, 9, pauses while swimming to pose for a portrait in a flooded park at Patoka Lake in Celestine, Indiana, June 18, 2019. Adam came to Patoka Lake on vacation with his family. "The flood was not a planned portion on the vacation," said Jeff Deckerd, Adam's uncle. However, as the children found a new use for the flooded park, Adam's mother Stefany Deckerd added, "That's what families do: make the best of it." #duboiscounty #everydayruralamerica #photojournalism #photography #flood #water #swimming #vacation
Now that we creep out of what feels like a very long winter, I can't help but think back to summer and romanticize the warmer days.
I know halfway through June the humidity is going to destroy that excitement, but for now I'll pretend it's all I ever wanted.
Also, I have lamented the day that I would have to abandon the white border on my posts and make the sacrifice of cropping an image that was photographed at 2:3, but that day has come. Gotta pick your battles.
