olympics

busy place... on granville st, downtown vancouver.

olympic crowds

i decided to get back into the main stream today. took a walk along the seawall, and ended up down by the rink. i found a nice spot out of the way, put the canon on a tripod, and spent an hour and a half shooting the crowds/ watching the light change. second shot from the same location - the athlete's village.

vancouver spring flowers

a little taste of what's popping up in and around stanley park.

sea side

took a break from the olympic crowds today. another beautiful day. plan on getting back downtown tomorrow.

winter olympic light show

my sister in saskatchewan went on line, and set up this light design dedicated to 2 friends who are fighting illness. i was the photographer of record. it was fun last night / shooting the show and talking to her via cell at the same time. well done.

what's a winter olympics without flowers?? i shot these on my walk downtown to the action

downtown vancouver

i burnt quite a bit of shoe leather today, so i decided to set up shop on granville street, and let the action come to me. the light was right, so i spent an hour or 2 just fooling around with the canon.

olympic rings/ downtown vancouver

another offering from "walker cliche´ and gift shop".

day at the beach

my plan for the day was to hit the downtown.. again. i geared up, walked a block or two, and realized this was the nicest winter day i have ever spent in vancouver. so who needs the crowds? i went back home, put on the shorts, grabbed a pop, and spent the afternoon at the beach/ one block from my happy home / at english bay. oh... and i had my camera with me as well (would like to leave that at home more often).

olympic flame

checked out the flame this aft. not sure about the fence. guess it's a security issue. but.........??

granville st

some public art on display / granville st., downtown vancouver.

well, this is how i saw the assembled masses in downtown vancouver today. quite a turn out i'd say.
