Did You See That?

For some reason, this was a potpourri week in sports photos - a lot of random sports outside the big three (basketball, football, baseball) with events happening all over the world, but nothing of a major, grand scale for an American audience.

There are some people around the office who grumble when "Did You See That?" goes on tangents like this - there's too much silly stuff, with people we've never heard of doing things we don't do - so why would anyone look at the gallery? More NFL, more NBA, et cetera.

Hey, one of the best picture editing mentors I ever had, had the simple philosophy of "surprise and delight, enlighten" when it came to photographs. Show people something they don't normally get to see.

I'm pretty sure this athlete is just another guy at a the world-class level, a German who skis, shoots, and pops a photo of his girlfriend on his rifle. But hey, I don't see that every day.... :-)

To see the rest of the images from this week in sports, go to AOL Sports: Did You See That?, and for more NFL photos, go to NFL - Week In Photos - AOL Sports.
