I know there’s some serious Olympics detractors out there among you, but what I really love about it (okay, other than amazing, amazing feats of human ability) is the very genuine human drama. Sure, there’s all sort of artifice in the Olympics, but the human emotions experienced by the competitors are very real. And make for some amazing photos. This is a great, great set from Alan Taylor. Here’s two of my favorites:
