In my next life I want to be a photographer. Sure, I dabble with taking pictures of my kids (it has been years since we've gone to a professional for portraits because mine turn out just fine for holiday cards and so forth.) But there are definitely more challenging subjects that I haven't mastered, such as compelling action shots, particularly during sporting events. Yes, our local ECHL (ice-hockey) team confiscated my camera because it looked too "professional," but they need not have worried.

Thanks to Mom Blog Marketing, I learned about Dick Druckman's Gold Medal Impressions Limited Edition Sports Photos. He has traveled the world to some of the most important sporting events (yes, including every Olympic Games including and since Barcelona in 1992.) His photographs are of many sports, at many levels, including high school and college games.

Amazingly, everything on the site is currently 50% off. Most prints start at $25 when regularly-priced, so they were already affordable before this incredible discount.

Everyone has a sports lover in their life, so this is a perfect opportunity to grab a unique, meaningful, and affordable print for them. While some of those poster-places in the mall might have cool shots of your favorite baseball team, it isn't likely that you'll find a real-life photograph of something like the two-man balancing team at the Olympic Trials (pictured above right.) And yes, there are photos of Michael Phelps out there, but how many of Rebecca Soni in action (pictured at left?)

My one criticism of the site is that it can be difficult to search for photographs. If I type in "gymnastics," only two prints come up. However, I know from browsing through the site that there are many, many gymnastics photos. Likewise, I caught misspellings in the athletes' names (ie Hortion for Horton) which makes searching more difficult.

Fortunately, it is fun to look through the prints for a given category since there might be something I wouldn't have thought to search for. Also, Mr. Druckman would be happy to help locate fabulous prints given the sports you or your loved ones are interested in if you phone the gallery at 609-606-9001.

The sale prices are not reflected on the website, so please call Dick Druckman at the gallery (609-606-9001 from 9AM-5PM Eastern) to receive the discount. Orders that are put through on the site will not get the promotional pricing - so please call for the 50% off special. This promotion ends on December 20th.

Please visit Gold Medal Impressions to get an idea of the prints available from Dick Druckman, and then give him a call so he can find that perfect print for you -- at 50% off!
