2010 National Geographic Photography Contest

Jason hops out to the deck of the public pool, proud and without the aid of his prosthetic leg or any crutches. As a personal trainer, and a natural athlete he has a strong sense of balance. I knew as soon as I saw him, I was going to take his portrait. When he was a young college student, on a basketball scholarship, he had a a terrible car accident. In order to save his life, the doctors had to amputate his leg. They tried to save it for eight days, then, they had to fight to save Jason. An infection was taking over. His choice, live with no leg. Or die with both. 

Un tad paliek kauns, ka Tev ir divas kājas un čīksti par kaut ko, ko nevar izdarīt un kaut kas pietrūkst.
