Gymnastics Summer Camp

I photographed the summer gymnastics camp at the Atlanta Gymnastics Center in Decatur for a Three of a Kind photo feature for the Atlanta-Journal-Constitution on Tuesday, June 5, 2012. The Atlanta Gymnastics Center hosts a 10 week summer camp each year for athletes 6 years old and older. Camp runs from May 29 through August 10.
