Among the images are portraits and action shots relating to events in tennis, gymnastics, shooting, diving, swimming, and, most notably, athletics.

The album also includes 16 images of family and friends prior to the trip; 18 images of the voyage to Europe on the S.S. Lapland; and 10 images of a trip to Norway after the Olympics.
