The Winter Olympic Games have brought thousands of people to Vancouver and I’ve been able to meet a ton of amazing people during my adventures over the last couple of weeks. I thought I’d profile a few of them here and make a few other posts as the Games progress. Lindsey Anderson One thing that…
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…
My pal Duane stopped by for a visit the other day and we shot this little video to give you a little glimpse inside the BC Media Centre. It’s where I’ve been spending a lot of time lately attending press conferences, processing photos, writing posts like this one and sometimes just relaxing and actually watching…
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…
This morning I had a chance to be one of the first to ride the new Zipline that goes over Robson Street. Needless to say, it was amazing! Thanks to ZipTrek EcoTours for putting this on. It opens to the general public FOR FREE on Friday, February 12th. You can watch people ride it on…
Wow…I’m still beaming from what happened early this morning. I never expected to get ‘into it’ like a lot of people have been but I now ‘get it’ after witnessing first hand what the Olympic Torch relay means to people. This morning I had the privilege of doing a ride along in a GM support…
Tonight I got to check out the large tent pavilion for my home province and it was pretty impressive. It was the first ‘tent’ I’ve been in so far for the Olympics…many are popping up all over town to accommodate large groups of people. It didn’t feel like a tent at all once inside. What…
My friend Rebecca is doing some Olympic coverage for News 1130 and went for a quick tour today….I tagged along with my camera: I’m kind of a news nerd…my clock radio wakes me up with News 1130 and I listen to it a lot while commuting. It was pretty cool to meet some of the…
Inspired by kk’s bag photo, I thought I’d document ‘most’ of what I’ll be carrying around with me during the Olympic Games at any given time. I’ll most likely change things up depending on where I’m going to be on a given day but this stuff won’t be far from me at all times. Click…
Bridges on Granville Island has been taken over and become the House of Switzerland during the Games. I attended their open house and got a preview of some of the things they have planned. The lineup was around the building: The place was PACKED! One neat feature of the House of Switzerland is the in-house…
