Flatboat 2022

"Flatboat" (2022) by Julie Blackmon is a color photograph depicting a family on a wooden raft in a lake. The youngest child dangles his feet in the water while his older brother sits on a cooler. A young girl in a brown dress stands on a wooden crate on the raft, looking upwards, and an adult man lies on the raft. The image is captured in a clear, bright light and is typical of Blackmon's work, which often explores themes of family, childhood, and leisure.
