Special Olympics

I had my first paid photo assignment last week, which took me to Whitefish, Montana for the Montana Winter Special Olympics. Whitefish is right outside of Glacier National Park, so the setting was world class as were the attitude and energy of the athletes. I had never spent much time around disabled folks prior to that weekend, and was really moved by the whole scene. If chosen for publication, I will donate 1/2 of the winnings to the Montana Special Olympics.

In the story Theme Entries.
