MSP Polar Bear Plunge 2008

January 27, 2008 By Anthony Washington

An unidentified young man leads a group of Super Plungers into the cold water of the Chesapeake Bay during one of the last “plunges” of The MSP Polar Bear Super Plunge on Saturday, January 26, 2008 at Sandy Point State Park in Annapolis, MD.

Super Plungers “plunged” into the icy waters of the Bay once an hour for 24 hours. The MSP Polar Bear Plunge is an annual event that benefits Special Olympics Maryland.

Ever since I borrowed a camera from a friend of mine eight years ago, I have loved sharing what I see through the lens of my camera with the world. There is nothing better than making somebody feel like they were right there with you. A brief moment in time, by way of photography, can say so much. I hope that these brief moments in time point people in the direction of someplace, something, or someone that they may not be aware of, and that they are curious enough to go see for themselves.
