I watched about one minute of the Olympics opening ceremony. I thought I heard Leni Riefenstahl beating on her coffin screaming, "Let me out, I have work to do!" After one minute of exposure to womens' beach volleyball and the Brave New SportsWorld that NBC is ramming down our throats, I decided to make a photostory about reality. I doubt that a world society based on this manifesto is where I want to live:
"Olympism is a philosophy of life, exalting and combining in a balanced whole the qualities of body, will and mind. Blending sport with culture and education, Olympism seeks to create a way of life based on the joy found in effort, the educational value of good example and respect for universal fundamental ethical principles."
Triumph of the will, and strength through joy...
