Last week, I was given the chance to meet and photograph two people who are very inspiring.
First was the Iceman, George Gervin. All I knew before meeting him was that he’s an NBA legend. Little did I know that he as regarded as one of the greatest shooting guards in NBA history.
Mr. Gervin was there to guide and give some tips to the girls’ and boys’ varsity players. He was funny, friendly, cool and truly inspiring.

Second person I met the same week was Wang Jing, the first Chinese female to climb to the summit of Mount Everest from the southern slope. She takes awesome photos of her expeditions, too. Imagine freezing your ass off in the middle of climbing up a snowy mountain and having to take our your DSLR (she was using a Canon 5D II) and snap some photos, not to mention thaving to deal with the biting wind and altitude sickness.
She is part of a team of six women led by Liv Arnesen and Ann Bancroft, who on November 2012 will take on an 80-day long 800-mile expedition to the South Pole.
