I saw it on Newswatch 16 Sunday Morning. Color me curious. I had to see it for myself. The University of Scranton was holding a wheelchair basketball tournament to raise money for people with disabilities. I stopped by Sunday after work, paid my admission fee, and even bought a tee shirt.
A lot of young people from the U and other area colleges were here, and it was interesting to watch young adults, in fine physical condition, struggle with their time in a wheelchair. It was an eye opener.
I have to admit, there was a selfish reason for being here. I rarely shoot sports, and I wanted to see what I could do. Amateur wheelchair basketball doesn't move particularly fast, and I was able to get off some good shots.
It gives you a new respect for wheelchair athletes, and people who photograph sports for a living.
