Erin McCoy, Airshow elation (PEOPLE 2026)

As we stood sweating on the tarmac at her first airshow I asked her ”what do you think?” A simple question. She looked up and answered her tongue flicking in speech and an expression that reveals excitement, curiosity and wonder all at once. A portrait of childhood discovery, fresh unfiltered joy. Expressed without colour so viewers can focus in on what matters most.
