Photo Contest: Making Memories

Adam Gallagher’s Perfect Day to Fly a Kite wins second place.

Maple Grove Resident Adam Gallagher says he mainly focuses on documenting his life in photographs to reminisce down the road. Gallagher’s iPhone photo, Perfect Day to Fly a Kite, features his daughter Adelaene, now 9. Laid up after an ACL injury, he and his kids wanted to get out of the house so they took advantage of the nice, breezy day and went to Weaver Lake Park with their kite. “[After a while] my daughter got tired of hanging onto it so she went to hand it off to me, I fumbled and it just took off into the trees,” says Gallagher. “Every time we drive by now, we point and laugh.”

Perfect Day to Fly a Kite took second place in the People & Families category of Maple Grove Magazine’s 2105 photo contest. Submissions for the 2016 contest begin on August 1.
