"Summer Friendship and Freedom"


1 of 10

Fourteen-year-olds Meredith (from left), Devin, Emma (in back), Lola and Nicole spend every summer together at Echo Hill Camp on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. They each live in different parts of the country so when they are at camp, their home lives and school-year identities are distant and unimportant. I (the photographer) spent my summers at Echo Hill as a child and went back to photograph the magic I had experienced. Here they are drying off after an afternoon swim.
