Picturing the Olympics


There is endless media coverage of the Olympics. I've been impressed by the exhaustiveness of NBC's site. The site is far more interesting than their wretched broadcast.

With so many sports and athletes to report on, the sheer size of the media themselves become part of the Olympics. None of them are documenting themselves more interesting than the The Toronto Star's Photographer's Blog, giving great stories about the drama and people involved in getting the great pictures that define the Olympics.

Richard Lautens, Steve Russell and Lucas Oleniuk sometimes turn the camera on themselves and take behind the scenes photos that give insight and a perspective that most of us take for granted.
