The Living Center and The Senior Olympics



I started shooting this project during the fall of 2004. In honor of the Summer Olympics this event, "The Senior Olympics". was held. This event was taking place at my first visit to the center and I was a bit stunned by the enthusiasm, the excitment and the shear joy of the residents who participated. There was a parade that processed through the main hospital building and, after that, a carefully rehearsed bell ringers performance. I admit to being emotionally ambushed by the bell ringers.

The games, as the one, above were practiced and the players were not only ready but very much focused on winning.
