EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Wright Brothers Flyer Monument in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. The bronze figure of Wilbur Wright seems to come alive as he appears to run alongside the life-size sculpture of the iconic aircraft. Taken on 16 December 2003 during the six-day First Flight Centennial Celebration, this image commemorates the historic flight that forever changed aviation. The celebration reached its pinnacle on 17 December with a momentous event: a speech by US President George W. Bush and a reenactment of the Wright Brothers' groundbreaking first powered flight using an incredibly accurate reproduction of their original 1903 Flyer. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance, capturing both past achievements and future possibilities. Photographer Tim Sloan expertly captured this scene for Agence France-Presse (AFP), showcasing his talent for freezing moments in time that resonate with viewers worldwide. With its horizontal composition, this print invites us into the world where dreams take flight against all odds. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded not only of how far we have come since that fateful day in Kitty Hawk but also of our limitless potential when passion meets innovation.
