if i were in beijing

It's the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China. Wouldn't it be lovely to be there? If I were, I'd be getting signatures of players, sitting it out during the sweltering opening ceremonies, and most of all, taking pictures. I just can't stop staring at this one:

It's Great Britain's Adam Brown competing in the men's 200m breaststroke swimming heat at the National Aquatics Center on August 12, 2008. The photo is by Timothy Clary for AFP/Getty Images.

I have never seen water so magical and definite and frozen and captured and white. Oh, to be able to seize the moment, to have the right camera, and first and foremost, to be there.
