Picture of the Day!

Thanks everybody.  Part of me wants to go home.  Part of me can't wait for hockey to start tomorrow (get to see Canada vs. Norway).  I think the hockey part may be winning.

From the day before the Games started:

This shot is absolutely fantastic! thanks for sharing it.

Thanks!  As much as I was looking forward to shooting some of the Olympics, I actually had more fun just shooting plain old street life.  Unfortunately, I was up in Whistler when 100 masked idiots took to the street outside my hotel and trashed everything they could get their hands on (newspaper boxes through windows, that sort of jazz).  Instead, I was shooting stuff like this:

Your friend has a boar for a pet?

Sweet.

// At least I assume that's a boar.  I'm a city kid.  That could be an ostrich for all I know.

[Manwariel]

I'm gonna run with boar.  Or a pig with braces.

Or, as I alluded to earlier, a cleverly disguised ostrich.

Tusks, huh? 

Maybe it's a... pygmy elephant?!?

Tusks, huh? 

Maybe it's a... pygmy elephant?!? 

Judging by the fur, I'm inclined to go with pygmy woolly mammoth.

[Rani Zemirah]

Not much curl in there, though, so maybe a... pygmy wire-hair mammoth?

I'm going with an ostrich.  Cleverly disguised as a pygmy wire-hair mammoth.

//Damn city kids.

Nice work everyone. Thanks for sharing as usual.

Y'know... I'm wondering if there might not be a bit of the rare short-quill porcupine in there somewhere, as well...
