Big Shots for September 18, 2009
This week Big Shots travels to Peru for the South American Bodybuilding Championships in Lima, kitesurfs from Tasmania to the Australian mainland, and yells "skate!" at octogenarian hockey players. I'll show you the Peace Marathon in Moscow, World Cup soccer qualifying in Riyadh, and cricket in Colombo, Sri Lanka. There's more, of course, as I look forward to bringing you the third of cycling's grand tours, La Vuelta a Espana early next week. ( 30 photos total)

The friends braved giant swells on their 12-hour journey across the 259 kilometer stretch of treacherous water before swimming the final kilometer to Apollo Bay. (NALU PRODUCTIONS/AFP/Getty Images) #

great selection as always!
btw, the caption on #4 is wrong, it's actually Slovenia's keeper Samir Handanovic (you can see his name), not Arturt Boruc.
Pretty sure that's Samir Handanovič of Slovenia in picture #4, not Artur Boruc. It could be because of the name on the back of his jersey... I don't know... I'm not a doctor.
tHESE PICTURES ARE GREAT!!!
20 is photoshopped... just sayin'.
GO BLUE!
Just Amazing pictures! Thankyou!!!

The first picture is actually of a dog surfers use as a decoy for sharks. Sort of like the canary in the coal mine for surfer dudes.
he does not look like micheal jordan at all.
I'm pretty sure Artur Boruc is about double the weight and blond...
To address questions of the use of Photoshop that occasionally are raised here, allow me to explain our policy. We use Photoshop to process all photographs in the Boston Globe and on Boston.com, including all of those featured in this blog. So in a sense, all the photographs are "Photoshopped". But what that actually means versus what is implied by Joe in comment #4 is very different. In preparing images for this blog, I use Photoshop to: crop, color-correct, and density-correct as well as to do minor dodging and burning as would be done in a traditional darkroom, do minor sharpening, and remove dust spots that appear on a camera's capture plate and are not a part of the original scene. Nothing else is done to photographs that appear in this blog or in any other space in the Boston Globe or on Boston.com. The images that wire services transmit are vetted by editors, and photographers who violate journalism ethics are usually terminated quickly in the rare instances when this occurs. Whenever I come across a photograph that appears questionable, I do not publish it.
i like you're website much...especially, michael jordan crying..wowowee
