Down Syndrome Buddy Walk"},"content":{"rendered":"<h1>Down Syndrome Community Buddy Walk<\/h1>\n<p>Yesterday was the Down Syndrome Community Buddy Walk, held annually in early October at the Seattle Center. \u00a0I have been\u00a0a volunteer photographer for this event for ~15 years, and every year it continues to grow. \u00a0We have been extremely fortunate with the weather for this event over the years, and I can&#8217;t remember ever being even close to having a rain-out (boy, have I just jinxed things for next year!). \u00a0We lucked out again yesterday, with sunny conditions and temps in the mid-60s. \u00a0I am not great at estimating crowd size, but there were easily over a\u00a0thousand people there.<\/p>\n<p>We were joined again by members of the <a href=\"http:\/\/garrisontitan.com\/mainpage\/\">501st Legion of Garrison Titan<\/a>, who are\u00a0the world\u2019s definitive Star Wars costuming organization whose members are dedicated to creating and wearing movie-accurate costumes of the Galactic Empire and villains of the Star Wars Universe. \u00a0As you can imagine, these characters are extremely popular with the kids\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0and the adults too! \u00a0A group of them were gracious enough to spend some time with me at an area I had set up to take photos of family and &#8220;team&#8221; groups, and we had a great time taking photos with everyone who wanted photos with some Storm Troopers.<\/p>\n<p>As well as the group photos, I also took some\u00a0candid shots of the activities when I was able. \u00a0I have posted all of the photos on <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/photos\/u6zJPiE2sBftDAWa7\">Google Photos at this link<\/a>, and anyone who wants to download copies at no charge are welcome to do so. \u00a0For those who don&#8217;t want to look through more than 200 photos I have put a few on this page so you can get at least a small feel for the event.<\/p>\n<p><a
