Olympics - Blogs, Images and Links

[Joe_Lorenzini]

I'll be the first to admit I'm a huge Olympic junkie. Between NBC and it's affiliates and the
web (broadcasts & blogs) there's just no shortage of things to watch, read and see.

I particularly like the web broadcasts since it's a raw feed which means no commercials
and no commentators. You get to see all the action even when there is no action and
to me that equates to watching photogs come/go and position themselves as well as
seeing the athlete's behind the scenes as well as in front of the audience.

So I'd like to open this thread to your favorite Olympic links. Blogs, broadcasts, images.
Please share them here.

I'll throw in a few to start:

Newsweek Blog:
http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/olympicpix/default.aspx
In particular, check out Vincent Laforet's Judo images about a third of the way down.
If you want to be a sports photographer, these are the people you need to
be watching. Donald Miralle is a magician.

Sports Illustrated:
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/mul...content.1.html
I like how you can pick out the day you want to view.

USA Today:
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/galle...pics/flash.htm
More mainstream images but still of the highest quality.

BLOG: Nhat V. Meyer
http://www.sportsshooter.com/news_story.html?id=2041
Nhat's as talented as they come. His blog is EXTREMELY interesting to read
from a photographers standpoint.

So if you've got some interesting links, post them here!

Sorry, it's a link so I didn't want to edit a photo that's not my own.
