Photographed this boy at Marquette Park in Gary, Indiana at the beginning of the summer. I saw him looking into the water with all of this wonder and it reminded me of myself when I was that age. I used to go to local ponds and collect aquatic creatures of all sorts (and then I’d come home and scare my older brothers with them). If this kid doesn’t bring summer in the Midwest (and a little Opie) to mind, well you’d better hurry and find your own summer nostalgia before it’s all over.
