I just got back from doing this job for Paralympics awareness. I went to Istanbul in Turkey to shoot this one, which is a unique and crazy place.
This guy swam for almost 9 hours at night for the job. I have never met anyone handicapped to this extent before, but he was not giving up and could still do 50m in around 42" which is no mean feat.
I had huge respect for that.

Wow...these pictures are awesome...Very nice well done job...! They're the greatest athletes to watch. A guy with just one leg is doing triathlon with me....It's a very nice thing to see and give us so much motivation. Key word is : RESPECT..I love them all...!:)

Just to share..Rudy Garcia-Tolson...This guy is going to make Kona...:eek:

I admire these guys a lot.... seeing them makes me think my knee doesn't hurt at all!
Count our blessings, count our blessings!

They have elite minds.
