After about a year of ticket gathering, lodging procurement, reservation making, and Canadian mailing address acquisition, these are the photos documenting our Olympic experience. Included are shots of venues, athletes, security, and fans.
While we attended the Women’s Moguls competition, we didn’t break out the cameras due to rain. Pictures of our treks around Vancouver, Whistler, and Seattle will be in another album.

A note about the photography:
The bulk of the pictures were taken with a Canon 10D SLR and f/2.8 70-200mm IS lens. Renting this lens proved to be invaluable. The remaining shots were taken with a Canon S500 point-and-shoot. Sadly the S500 was set-up wrong in manual mode (something we didn’t notice until the last day), so far too many pictures had the shakes and was not the result of one-to-many Molson’s.
