Polar Plunge!!

Sunday, April 1, 2012
Restaurant Row

Jalna, Celia and I took pictures at Polar Plunge today, a benefit for the Special Olympics.  It's actually kinda a crazy event.  Anyone who raises at least $100 in donations can jump into a 32 degree pool full of ice water.  They are "freezin for a reason!"  These guys were crazy but it actually looked kinda fun.  I wonder if Y&M will put in a team next year.....

 My camera got drenched in this shot!  Thank god for "L" lenses! I soon learned the technique of taking pictures so close to the pool...but then I got drenched.  Thank god it was sunny cause that water was cold!!

Les, love these shots. Special Olympics will love them too! You really caught the action and the emotions. It was fun taking pictures with you and Jalna.

Thanks Celia!! Were you able to go up on the roof? I would love to see the view you had!

Les, I am glad I did not get to go up to the roof. Tonight, I posted my pictures and I realized I would have missed their expressions since they were looking down.

Celia - yah that makes sense. Your pictures were great!

Erick -- too bad you weren't there. I would've thrown you in :-)
