Doug is there a possibility you could get a shot of the Saskatchewan Pavillion. in the evening I heard it was gorgeous and unfortunatley a lot of us Saskatchewanites can't get out there to take a look - We are cheering from here! Thanks

Hi Doug! Just thought I would drop a note - I have, like most teachers in Canada....been following the Olympics with my class....your photos have been up on the data projector constantly - they are so real and show the children what is happening outside of the games themselves....love them...thanks! Hope you are having a great winter!

hey jill, thanks for sharing the images with your students. there will be more to come, but i do take a day off from the olympic crowds once in awhile. like today. i spent most of it shooting the blooming flowers in and around stanley park. i'll post a few, and then dive back into the madness. keep checking in!

I designed the laser light show to shine high in the sky as a symbol of high hopes.Doug did a fabulous job of photographing it even though he had to stand out there for hours to do it.I loved the concept of this interactive art project and created another one for my daughter.ph

it was my pleasure, and i had lots of fun doing the shoot.

the laser light show could be the pinnacle of the olympics photo shoot of douglasewalker photography

maybe when your pilot friend gets the oil pressure fixed, we can do some 'air to air' photography. you can direct.

Douglas, I think the time has come. Pronger gets caught drinking at the Cambie, but we attribute his disappearance (from the team) to the laser show. Laser's are very powerful as you know.

What do you think?
