As the torch passes from Beijing to London, a British newspaper celebrates with Paralympics pictures

From The Telegraph in the UK:

Thursday December 3 marks 1000 days to go to the lighting of the Paralympic flame in London in 2012. For the next three days, a blog a day will celebrate pictorially the passing of the flame from Beijing to London, with photos from four British photographers - Graham Bool, Roger Bool, Tom Griffth and George S Blonsky, which formed a joint exhibition after the Beijing Games.

Coverage of big events like the Paralympics is dominated by Getty, Reuters, AP and the rest of the world’s leading news and picture agencies, however, none of this could stop Graham and his young charges, Tom, 26, son Roger 24, and seasoned international photojournalist George S Blonsky from seeing their images snapped up by the Daily Telegraph, South Wales Press, and Disability Now, as well as several charity and non-governmental organizations.

At London 2012, Graham plans to field the team again with the added advantage of working on home ground.

Graham added: “I’m certain that London and the UK will rise to the challenge and show the world that when it comes to disability sport, accessible environments, transport, hospitality and organization, we can compete just as well as previous host nations.”
