              These Photos Of The 2012 United States Olympic Team Have Hit A Nerve With The Public

              The Olympic Committee’s Media Summit in Dallas, Texas was held back in May of this year. A number of photographers were invited to shoot the event. Joe Klamar was one of the the photographers who captured portraits of the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team. Once the images became public, people were not pleased with the outcome and it went viral. We’d like to hear your thoughts and let us know what you think of the coverage and if you agree with the current public opinion.

                Let’s go beyond the technical to the practical.  The paper is frayed torn and dirty.  And while there are many ways to interpret beauty in a shot once you cross the line of slack, you better have a good reason for doing so.  In this case, you have world class athletes shooting in sub par conditions.  If the theme isn’t “Olympiads winning against poverty” then there’s no purpose for missing the pro photographer’s mark so far off.  

                My honest guess, some commissioner or committee official promised their kid a chance at shooting some athletes for their future portfolio.  

                On the bright side, with the right photoshop touch ups, those same images could sell wheaties and subway sandwiches!

                Hell, that Russian chimp that shoots photos of Red Square could do better! Of course, his photos are expected to fetch over $100,000 at a Sotheby’s auction in June 8-O
