It never ceases to amaze me how graciously people will let
photojournalists into their lives. We see people at their worst and we
see them at their best. We see people’s perfections as well as their
imperfections. We, as photojournalists, are awarded the opportunity to
live an accelerated lifestyle – we witness things that otherwise, we’d
never take the time or effort to understand.
Last night, I spent
an hour with a local teenage wheelchair basketball team. The kids —
including Becca Murray, Katy Bralick, Matt Bralick, Rachel Nepper and
Hayden Jones — are headed to a national competition at the University
of Wisconsin-Whitewater in January. After high school graduation, a few
of the kids may go on to play wheelchair basketball at the college
level.
Thanks for stopping by.
