Olympics - Madness

Sat Jul 26, 2008, 2:35 PM
I just caught up with a friend of mine who's off to Beijing on Wednesday for the Olympics (as in, he's part of the GB team). It's pretty amazing that it's so close.

I'm super excited as I'll get to watch him shoot (he shoots Double Trap) and get to see the best Gymnasts (I used to be a gymnast), Runners, Riders etc. Are you excited at all?


I've been all over the place as I mentioned previously - but hopefully next week should be back to normal so I can get back to taking more photographs. I know Rosnana & Sasha have a few ideas tucked up their sleeves... but I really could do with something listing ideas - from insane to sane ones. Anything to get me inspired.


Oh and before I forget - for those "geeky" people (like me?) you should check out Plurk: [link] - if you haven't heard of it, check out this article I wrote about it: [link]

i definitely look forward to the olympics every time. definitely even more fun knowing someone or being from the same town as someone competing. :)

some ideas on shots...maybe some shots of waterscape creature, flora, or fauna.
maybe even some shots of kite flying either with people or maybe even on horseback :D
just throwing out crazy ideas :)

i'm sure when the time's right you'll do it :)

yep, i can understand that of some people.
there's a lot of hoopla that goes on with the olympics.
i just look past the hoopla and wade through it and look at the human stories behind every athlete.
if people would only realize how much effort and blood, sweat, and tears it takes...and even then if
people say they're only doing it for the money, i still look past that as yep there are monetary rewards.
but there's also much more to it. guess i'm an idealist of sorts...always holding out hope that there can be some sort of change in the world that can be made with holding the olympics. :)

Exactly! I love watching the athletes struggle and succeed. Especially as my ex was working towards it & a good friend is actually competing, gives it a different view I suppose.

Lets just be glad that the government didnt just decide to boycott the games then eh?

I love the olympics as its about the only time sports really interest me just because youre get to see the best competing against the best and at the end of the day thats what it should all be about, people from all over doing what they love because they love it
