The Beijing Special

Fri Aug 29, 2008, 2:23 AM

This week, a special journal to conclude the wonderful Olympics in Beijing 2008.
I don't know if you followed but It was a wonderful event with many unforgotten moments (Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps on the good, and Angel Valodia Matos on the bad). For sports fans around the world it was a time of glory, but also for the ones that simply loves to enjoy the human struggle and journey. The sadness and the endless effort along with the moment of triumph. So, this week I collected a special of those moments.
This week I bring you the photographic highlights of Beijing 2008. Enjoy.

There's nothing wrong with being shallow as long as you're insightful about it.

Apart from there being some of the best sports images Ive ever seen here, I notice one other thing... an army of D3's!

Canon no longer have the sports market to them selves. Ha!

Some wonderful images there...I really like the movement images, like the one of the pursuit cycling.

I can't believe there's no image there of the German weightlifter who held a picture of his recently deceased wife against his chest after he received his gold medal and the anthem was playing...that was an incredibly emotional moment.

~Ebethdevine: I'm not an artist or photographer myself. I'm your average woman with an appreciation for art that is moving and has depth. I just looked through your entire gallery, and was moved by your gift. How amazing that you bring such beauty to even the dark.
