Photographer Ryan McGinley originally shot these photos for The New York Times, documenting the 2004 US Olympic Swim Team. His images of Michael Phelps, Ian Crocker, Aaron Peirsol, Diana Munz and Jenny Thompson were stunning examples of McGinley’s prowess behind the lens, capturing the team underwater in a variety of states of play. While the Times showcased them well surrounding the Games, now the collection is available as a box set of 500 postcards and 16 prints, suitable for framing. This may well be the last opportunity to get your hands on these, and is certainly a great holiday gift in the making.
