Photos by me. Photoshop work that is above and beyond anything I’ll ever be able to do done by this guy.
This may or may not be a rough draft- in the original photos, the bottom edge is kept in the frame, to give a better sense of height. We’re working on creating a “fish-eyed” version that shows this. Stay tuned.
We’re off to the ski jump hill, then short track speed skating today.
I continue to be indebted to Donald Miralle for his help with pans (also, a BIG congrats to him for winning World Press – check it out HERE). I’ll get an OK panning shot at 1/60th of a second, he can get a [...]
We currently interrupt our Vancouver Olympic coverage to give a big congratulations to fellow Syracuse student and friend Juliette Lynch for winning the Alexia student grant!
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the grant, it was started by the parents of Alexia Tsaris, after their daughter, who was studying photojournalism at Syracuse, was killed [...]
Downhill Skiing and Skeleton today. Everyone moves so fast.
This is how the skeletors start the race.
This is how the skeletors finish the race. They come up out of their own mist like serious bad-asses. Then they abduct you to their space ship.
This photo, along with the next two are going to tell you the same [...]
I shot snowboarding yesterday. Words really can’t express what it is to stand on the edge of a 22 foot halfpipe and watch the best riders in the world launch into outer space two feet in front of you. Without a doubt, the most insane feats of athleticism I have ever seen -they charge harder, [...]
I’ve never been one for facades or presentations – I tend to prefer straight-laced honesty. With that said, I would just like to express that I am not very pleased with myself tonight. I can shoot better. Today was weak. That is all.
United States rider Lindsey Jacobellis ignores pleas from an NBC correspondent for [...]
Posting lots of photos (too many) today. Two quick lessons I learned. 1) I really wish the sun came out in Vancouver more often. 2) Hockey pucks are really, really small and move really, really fast- ay?
I was lucky enough to shoot the men’s moguls qualifying round and finals tonight. These guys sure know how to huck themselves off mounds of snow. Enjoy.
I have much less time to post than I originally thought I would, often spending up to 6 hours a day on a bus and an hour walking from house to bus center, bus to event and back. Here are a few from the first few days.
The opening ceremonies.

Lets get one thing straight: I suck (suck, suck) at blogging. It is pretty obvious. But as I get ready to shoot my second Olympics, I’ve promised some good friends I will blog every few days about my experiences. I’m determined to keep up with it, if only for my own work flow and memories. [...]
