This was another one of those enjoyable assignments that happen too rarely.  I was writing and photographing an article on The Parrothead's Annual river clean up canoe trip.  As a nominal Parrothead, I was invited along for the canoe trip, so I spent half the day canoeing and partying, and the other half photographing the assignment.

To get this shot, I was wading in waist-high water, moving backwards, as young Aaron floated down the river.  I used a wide-angle lens with a polarizer, and direct flash to soften the harsh shadows caused the noonday sun.
