In Memory of....

My thoughts are with my long standing client, Conair Group, in their loss of two pilots - Tim Whiting and Brian Tilley.

2010 Games - Never wanted to be anywhere else...

Despite some of the trekking with too much gear......jostling.....bad photo positions....cowbells ringing steady for 8 minutes within 10 ft of me......racing to get to short track on the tightly scheduled days, I never wanted to be anywhere else.

Unlike other careers where I would look at jets overhead and want to be on them going somewhere, anywhere but where I was, it never happened at the Games.

A good sign and a welcome one.

As always, immense respect for the athletes.

Here is one, Charles Hamelin, just prior to going on ice and winning gold in the 500m.

More later.

2010 Games

I will try to keep postings on a daily basis on the run up and during the Games. I will be shooting long track and short track for Speed Skating Canada. Accreditation has arrived and I have had my preliminary visit to the media centre at Canada Place. There will be several SSC press conferences and a few more visits to the MMC once it is fully operational. So far so good. These things tend to be very fluid and one needs to be open to random changes and last minute adjustments.
