La Lumière de Victoire! (Weekend Reflections # 195)

Budapest, Hungary   (The lamp above his head is the reflection, it seemed to be in the perfect place.)


I saw this poster of  Teddy Riner through a window in Budapest. Big Teddy is a Frenchman and the 2012 Olympic heavyweight judo gold medal winner. Two months after I took this photo, Teddy won another gold medal at the 2013 European Judo Championship in Budapest. 

I called him Big Teddy because his height and weight are 2.4m (6ft 8in and 131 kg (290 lb)!

Have a great weekend everyone!

  2. The more I look at your shots and play with reflection shots of my own, the more fascinated I am! This one seems to take away any sense of depth perception...of knowing what is where. And combines two things - so completely not intended to be together - that end up telling a tale. So glad I found this space...and love how international it is as well!

  6. I like it even though it's rather an incongruous light to be shining on him! that's rather tall for someone in that sport, isn't it?
