The BC Media Centre that I’m currently using as basecamp during the Olympic Games hosts a LOT of press conferences and Premier Gordon Campbell attends many of them:
and when he’s not at the Media Centre, he’s out and about:
I’m pretty sure by the end of this, I’ll be on a first name basis with him.
I came across this cool little photo frame today at Future Shop (who call it a Memorex 1.5″ Trio Digital Photo Frame). There are a ton of digital frames on the market now but this one stood out as a little different since it has three different screens that your photos show on (35mm film…
After three weeks, over 17,000 photos and hours of video, the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics are done. It feels strange to see the city slowly transform itself back to the pre-Olympic state (with some Paralympic exceptions). I wasn’t as quick to update my Olympic subsite as I was my Flickr, YouTube and Twitter accounts but…

It’s a fascinating, yet haunting look at the games that occurred over 74 years ago just before World War…
This morning, I went from shooting photos of cute, excited kids and tall ships: to shooting photos of Police and SWAT teams dispersing crowds during a protest march that turned violent. I missed the window smashing and crowd control (I was taking photos of the ship in North Vancouver at the time) but suffice to…
