Olympic Victory

Mamaroneck, NY

To me there is nothing purer in sports than the Olympics that bring the world together for two weeks every two years alternating between the best in winter and summer sports. It is my hope that "clean" athletes receive all the honors and when cheating is discovered, those imposters are stripped of their medals which the IOC unlike many major sports organizations seems to be doing an effective job.

Last, I hope that Olympic Victory can turn into "Ipernity Victory." Then the smile of this photo will be contagious.

Cleverly composed. I love the title. Do you carry junk around with you, or do you juts find it and arrange it? I like the smiley. :)

For this photo, I found the allegorical Victory figure in this spot from a broken trophy and saved it in my car having come up with an idea for this shoot. I later found the soda can and discarded Gatorade bottles and saved them. The hardest thing was finding discarded lids that would be the proper colors for Olympic rings. Afterwards I put everything together to create this image and then discarded everything except the allegorical Victory figure. Most of the times though, I find everything the same day and put it together without need of saving anything for future use. Thank you for you comment Amelia.

Always do. It's ingrained in me. :) I used to take papers and cardboard to a local recycling plant before it became fashionable back in the '70s as a young kid.

I agree! This year instead of dreaming of a white Christmas, I'm dreaming of Ipernity survival.

I like your narrative and hope that you are correct with respect to Ipernity.

I hope I'm correct too. I like to remain optimistic since nothing is impossible even if the chances are remote unless finality is achieved. Thank you Jeff.
