Badmiton - Los Angeles Convention Center - Monday, May 27th
What a joy it was for me to capture images of the very lovely British athlete Karen Lyttle, statuesque British athlete Lloyd Crawley, & fun-loving Iranian athlete Maedeh Mohammadi both on and on the court and off the court.
While waiting for the next match to begin, Maedeh captivated the attention of those around her with her infectious personality, and in front of my camera, Maedeh was a "natural" and displayed her joyful personality that warmed my heart to it's very depths.
I also was given the wonderful opportunity to meet the president of the British Special Olympics Lawrie McMenemy, who engaged me with his intellect and stories of Susan Boyle who has Asperger's like me.
And lastly, the wonderful day was topped off with images of Entertainment Tonight Co-Host Nancy O'Dell who graced the court with Lloyd in a competition that led to victory for the duo.
It was a most memorable day for me and I left feeling blessed to have had the opportunity to be among these wonderful human beings for this short time.
