The 2003 Arnold Classic
Feb 28- March 2, 2003

If you've never been to the Arnold Classic and you consider yourself a bodybuilding fan,
I urge you to make the pilgrammage to Columbus, Ohio just one time to see what it's like to live in a world in which bodybuilding is the focal point of all things.

The following are a few of the 100 or so digital photos I took while attending this year's Arnold Classic, courtesy of FLEX magazine. The poor quality of the shots taken from the theater is due to the distance of my seat. I attempted to use the zoom feature but on a digital camera with low ambient light the result isn't great.
