…we all hollered as he brought the Paralympic Torch down through the crowd at Robson Square to light the celebration cauldron that’s been set up beside the skating rink underground. It’s a just little cauldron.
I got to the torch area where Luongo was to appear about 20 minutes before he got there. The location for this event was cramped and the venue was small. I had to do that “muscle in” thing I don’t enjoy too much. I opted to use a short lens because sometimes the zoomy lens is just too long and if the people get too close, I can’t get a shot at all. The lighting was bad, so I had to use the flash, but I made do. I did a lot of cropping on the photos you see here. Thankfully we were in a covered area because about 10 minutes after he arrived, it started to just pour down with rain.
