February 2010.

As the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics come to a close and as an avid watcher of all things Olympic, I was soon reminded of the talent that surrounds us in this great land of ours. First off our Canadian Athletes stepped up to the plate and delivered an exciting and rewarding 2 weeks of competition. Some of our athletes suffered personal injury and painful loss. Some of our athletes might even feel they have let us down for one reason or another…I say…”How can that be? To even be an Olympian representing one’s country is a feat unto itself.”
Now you say “How does this relate to photography?” Well, it might not. I do like to think though that challenging oneself to better your craft whatever that may be is the lesson to be learned here. Our chosen craft is photography. We can learn from our Olympians, to believe in all that you can be and that with practice and patience…good things come.
