Cooper River Bridge Run - Wheelchair Racers

King St., Charleston, SC 

I am not a sports photographer but have such respect for these athletes that I leap out of bed and head to town early to find my spot for pictures. They move so quickly and keep their heads down. I find the intersection where they turn off King St. so I have a chance to get them looking up to turn the corner. They are quite impressive athletes. Congratulations ladies and gentlemen!

In other news, I haven't gone missing in action and will be back to regular postings shortly. I moved! Packed up everything including the bear and mermaid and moved last Friday. I am gradually getting boxes unpacked and settling into my new little nest which isn't far at all from my old house. My computer is perched on top of an old end table until I buy a new desk but things are coming along nicely.

Cooper River Bridge Run - 2014, Wheelchair Races, Charleston, S.C.

These folks amaze me. They push themselves across a bridge that is a challenge to anyone, by their arms. I get to town early to catch them in action. They are a challenge to photograph, they are moving so fast and for the most part are looking down.I wanted to lay on the pavement to aim up but I probably would have been run over. 

More photos to follow but this was what I went for. Congratulations folks! I hope everyone had a good day.
