Running Child, Palace of Fine Arts. San Francisco, California. July 15, 2007. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell.

I was set up with my ultra-wide lens to photograph the columns and arches of this impressive structure when this exuberant child came flying through the scene. (A moment later he was followed by his mother, who was trying – with little success it seemed – to chase him down.) Not only was I taken by his energy and spirit, but also by how small the buildings made him seem.
