I have an embarrassing confession to make… here it goes: I honestly was quite excited and could not wait to get OUT of dodge for the Olympics (as I don’t do so well with LARGE crowds) HOWEVER I am SO THANKFUL that for some reason the universe had me stay and I can honestly say the Vancouver 2010 Olympics was the most fun I have even had in my LIFE! ironically enough, was downtown about 3 times a day, documenting festivities all over the place and LOVED the positivity, people and fun that made our city shine and glow with Canadian Pride! I have never felt more patriotic in my life.
I was happy to be welcoming the World to my hometown:
I have documented some of my journey with you on previous blogs but wanted to close my happy blogging with just a few more fun images as you have been so wonderful to email me and comment on the others…
as you could see – I just couldn’t stop taking photos of the cauldron. It was so AMAZING to see up close.
An INCREDIBLE feeling and beautiful to shoot from all angles.
watching the rings turn gold almost nightly brought tears to my eyes.
Got to hang with the AWESOME TSN’s Dutchy – he’s an icon (I thought when I met him he said he shot Nikon – LOL – I’m such a geek)
the nightly fireworks were just such a beautiful treat to watch from wherever I was in the city just spectacular!
and our beautiful, friendly, loving city.. you made us proud!
and of course – the game
WE BELIEVE!
pssssst… did I mention that someone I know got to WEAR a SILVER MEDAL ?! so fun and such and HONOR!
Vancouver 2010 Olympics games, you made me laugh + cry – thank you for it all!

How about the energy in this city! WOW! Nothing but AWESOME have these games been. I’m certainly glad I stayed in town for them.
I got an email Andrew back in January. He and his family traveled from Rhode Island for the Olympics and thought that having some family portraits taken while being a part of this amazing atmosphere would be really memorable.
He and his wife, Kate met 16 years ago at the Winter Olympics in Norway standing in line for tickets they were 20 and she was 23. Long story, short…after two hours of talking in the bitter cold, no tickets to be had, a meal together with her mom, and addresses exchanged…they have been together ever since and added two fantastic kids.
How sweet is that story?!
So family photos it was with an Olympic twist to it. Here they are… straight from Long Island to Vancouver
Not only are they adorable, but they are the nicest family EVER… the following day we went to the medal ceremony together and here are a few snaps from that.
Miss you already – can’t wait to see you again very soon.

yeaaaaaaaaaa! how cute is this?! I’m on the SHOOTSAC blog (sporting my favorite camera bag!)
check it out, from Jessica Claire:
I have to say that I’ve always considered the Summer Olympics a little more fun than the Winter Olympics, except for the years that the US has had really great hopefuls in the sports I like to watch, which are mostly only Figure Skating (women’s singles), Alpine Skiing, and everyone’s fave, Curling. With our lack of a really great, experienced figure skater this year, most of my Olympic hopes were pinned on Lindsey Vonn, who did not disappoint!
One thing that I do love about this years’ Winter Games is that they are in Canada, our friendly, beautiful neighbor to the North! I also like that we’re in the same time zone, and can watch things as they happen and at normal hours.
That said, it looks like our own SHOOTSACâ„¢ Lens Bag has finally made it! Angela Hubbard sent this shot over to us, and I can’t picture a more appropriate post to share with you today! It’s so cool that Angela is there in Vancouver, and that she thought of us! She let us know that SHOOTSACâ„¢ is the official bag of the 2010 Olympics! Thanks Angela!
LOVE IT!
If you dont own this camera bag already – BUY IT NOW – Jessica Claire is AWESOME!
