1996 Atlanta Olympics, A Spectator's Home Video
The following is video footage I took at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. Though there was criticism at the time about how the games had been run, I thought the entire experience was fantastic, that Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park was grand, and, all told, it was one of the great sporting events I've had the pleasure of attending.
