I love the Olympics.  It is just one of those things that I have always enjoyed.  I really don’t even care if it is summer or winter.  Gymnastics is my favorite to watch but really I will watch it all.

Well, like some of you I have some photographers that I stalk.  I go to their blogs daily to see what they are up to.  One photographer I have been following lately is Vincent LaForte.  He is a photographer for Newsweek and happens to be at the Olympics.  He is an amazing photographer.  Some photographers play it safe and get the typical shots, but not this guy.  Nothing about his shots are typical or ordinary.  Check it out if you are bored or if you are like me and have a passion for photography and/or the olympics. 

GO USA!!

EDIT TO ADD:

Check this site out… http://www.scottdiussa.com/Scott_Diussa/Beijing/Beijing.html  And thanks Laura for telling us about it.  In case you didn’t read the comment section, Laura’s hubby’s uncle (got it?) is in China working for Nikon.  I remember Laura’s mother-in-law telling me he worked for Nikon but I totally forgot.  I just checked out a couple pages but they are awesome shots.   Please take the time to comment on his blog and tell him where you are from.
