Muscle Beach - Labor Day 2009
As one bodybuilder from England told one of the many television news reporters at the Muscle Beach competition on this Labor Day… "this is where it all started"! And that is why he and competitors from around the country and elsehwere around the world come to stand on the stage at Muscle Beach.
Over 80 competitors pumped up in the "Pit" and stood on the stage while an estimated 150,000 visitors and tourists walked the boardwalk at Venice Beach. And it was a great day for it too. Bright and California beach sun with a light breeze made it just like the Beach Boys sang about back in the 60’s.
So here are some show photos and also a few from the photo shoots I did back in the "Pit" with Moji Oluwa, Justin Hunter, Dan Decker and Victoria Kirsanova…






But you can never forget all the other fun stuff that Venice Beach is known for along it’s world famous boardwalk. Golden painted mannquins, flag raising, fashion statements, Mermaids, and inline skating Supergirls…





If you like, you can check out some more photos from the show and my photo shoots in the Pit right HERE! Let me know what you think!
Thanks and keep coming back if you "Wanna See More…?"
