This one is a video happyday instead of a photo.  I had been working on gathering the pics and video clips of tae kwon do for this video for months, and today I put it all together in this 3.5 minutes.  The video was a gift for our Master and Instructor, who are testing this week (and it's a really big deal).  The whole club helped put this together, and it turned out pretty great!
