these pictures speak very clearly of the enjoyment of the times. Their clothes are very cheerful and colorful. It will all be over to-morrow I guess-but I think we can say it was a good time.

Hey Doug,

I can see that you are enjoying that new lens. Nice pics.

thx dk. yes, i am putting some long glass to work, but this style seems so simple, even a cave man could do it. not sure it's easy, but it comes easy to me. that's to say, shooting subjects in the context of a grand location is money / it's challenging. i really like these images, but....?? you're a photog. agree? or disagree. (don't be mad if you're a cave man).

Hey I agree, I really like these shots. I forgot about the concrete dance. But if it has to come out down the road about the lens when you are being interviewed for a photo mag or something you have to glam up the story. "I had to get this shot and I decided I had to go long, all of a sudden out of no where..."

Your "Faces of the games" series depicts the true Olympic experience. The excited, friendly faces in the crowds proved the games were a success.
