Luuuuuuuuu….

March 11, 2010

…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 [...]

All my bags are packed. I’m ready to go.

March 1, 2010

The day after. The day after the biggest party I’m pretty sure this city has ever seen. What was it like today? Well, quiet for one thing. I saw a lot of this: We’re very close to the Canada Line Skytrain Station, so people were heading over with their suitcases to catch their flights home. [...]

I love the night life, Mike loves to boogie.

February 28, 2010

Hi! I’m back. I took yesterday off because, well, I was pooped. And we were out late last night taking photos of the Vectorial Light Display in English Bay. I had a great idea, and that was to take photos of the lights from the West Vancouver side. We drove over to Ambleside Beach and [...]

On the water

February 26, 2010

I went over to a small event this afternoon over in one of the fancy hotels on the water. The event was not too interesting to me, unfortunately. I wish I had headed over to LiveCity in Yaletown instead, but I took a chance and ended with enough time to check out The Rings. So, [...]

Yesterday’s news

February 23, 2010

I’m getting caught up. After the doggy post yesterday, I had to to go to bed. Here’s a couple more photos from yesterday. Yesterday morning at 8:40-ish, the news van was outside our building doing a piece on the Mint Pavilion. At that time, the estimated wait to see the medals was 7 hours. And [...]

Sled Dogs!

February 22, 2010

Yet another day with another lunch time adventure! I had heard on twitter this morning the Huskies would be down in Yaletown at the RoundHouse for a little while at lunch. At 11:45, I left the office and hopped 1 stop to the RoundHouse. I got off the train, went over to the spot. No [...]

Team Canada – men’s hockey goalie

February 19, 2010

At 11:00 this morning, my buddy, Catherine, called me at work from Robson Square. “Carol! Martin Brodeur is here. They’re doing a press conference and he’s right in front of me.” After a moment’s thought, I grabbed by camera bag and decided to go for an “early lunch”. I ran from my office through the [...]

February 18, 2010

This is the first time the Winter Games have given the general public a close-up peak at the bronze, silver and gold medals that will be given to the athletes. While the 3 medals we took photos of and touched with white gloves will not be given to the winning athletes, they were made in [...]

My name is Carol, and I’m a pin nerd.

February 17, 2010

Today I loaned Mike my camera so he could take photos of people like Michael Buble, Stephen Colbert, and The Sedins. I shot all day with my banana cam. Except for my pin collection. I took photos of that when Mike brought my Nikon home safe and sound. It felt weird not to have my [...]

Free hugs and others

February 15, 2010

Here are a few more faces from downtown today. These are in addition to the Slovak Men’s Hockey Team – just in case you missed them. First of all, in two different spots there were 3 “Free Hugs” guys. I didn’t hug any of them. I know. I was snobbing off the free hugs guys.
