Man holding child over the ocean
This photograph of father and son is composed of various shades of bright, gorgeous blue. A white man in a black shirt stands in turquoise water, lifting his smiling toddler son into the air. The child, in a blue swim outfit and red cap laughs as the water pours off him, splashing his father below. The father’s face is obstructed by the child. The turquoise water changes to darker blue at the horizon. The horizon is multiple shades of lighter blue. Fluffy white clouds form a triangle, with two clouds at the horizon line on left side spreading into large clouds taking up over half of the right side of the sky.

Artist Statement

It was the most beautiful day I have ever seen. The water and the sky were such deep ranges of clear blue and you could see for miles over the ocean, into the ocean and into the horizon. I took more than 80 photos in less than 10 minutes of my husband and son in the water to try to capture this shot that conveyed how much joy was in that day. Note: there were no color enhancements made to this photo.

This is my husband and my son enjoying the incredibly blue water and blue skies of Turks and Caicos' Grace Bay beach.
