Carlos Hodges Jr., 6, nearly takes flight as friend Michael Jass pushes him in an office chair in the parking lot of the Wallace Townhouses on Midvale Drive in Janesville. Friend Jonathan Floyd, 5, does his best to keep up on foot.

Photographer's note: After driving around Janesville for several hours looking for an elusive feature photo, I happened upon these children playing with an office chair in the parking lot of a townhouse in Janesville. I had nearly run out of time on my shift but managed to make a photo that shows the pure joy that kids can work up with something so simple. » Order a reprint of this photo
