Once upon a time...

Prior to all the lights and cameras, the medals and awards, late night talk shows, general praise and accolades...

And prior to the subsequent spur-of-the-moment mistake that eventually lead to an (unnecessary/unfounded) tarnishing of an image, there used to be a kid just doing what he loved most . Being that I was in the midst of a mini water theme, I figured I couldn't resist adding these superb shots of Michael Phelps in his 'dorm'. You guys were aware Michael avoided on-campus housing costs by setting his room up under the practice pool right ?
