Falls Park Drowning Memorial. (3.18.14)

Last week I had the privilege of photographing a memorial for two people who drowned in the Big Sioux River at Falls Park last Spring.

Madison Wallace, 16, and Lyle Eagle Tail, 28, died saving Wallace's younger brother, Garrett, after he had fallen into the river.

The memorial was very touching, and it was an honor to be a part of it.

Thanks for looking.
