Fan Girls

Photograph by Kate Parker , National Geographic Your Shot

We all know that sound it makes when you yell into a fan, writes Kate Parker, who shared this picture with our Your Shot community. Parker had volunteered to take a friend s children outside after an early dinner out. This was shot in July in Georgia, she writes. Lots of restaurants have these huge fans outside in case anyone is looking to sweat while they eat. [As] soon as the girls saw the fan, they were drawn right to it. Parker recalled doing this herself as a child. It is universal. I knew I wanted to capture that moment ... yelling freely, with the wind blowing their hair, and just being kids.
