You sounded very busy, as I am sure you do not need to be told,< Hi John, Well you put it mildly for the busy part as we averaged about 16 hour days at best for the two weeks I was there as Photo Coordinator. A couple of times I thought it would've been easier as a shooter. :-) With 350 international and national sports' photographers to cope with it did have some busy moments! ;-) >>I also hope that you were gone before the recent mosquito bloom started. It is VERY BAD out there right now. My theory is that as soon as you went they knew it was safe to come out! Right now there a bunch of them banging what seems to be a good sized log against my window. Yes sir, up here the mosquitoes use tools.<< Hell one night I had to use an M6 to beat off four of them fighting over whether to suck me dry right there in the stadium or fly me home for a quiet midnight snack! :-) As Edmonton goes it was just as bad as I figured mosquitoes would be in the evenings and if it weren't for the Noctilux a few times for extra weight when I swung at the critters I'm sure I'd have been eaten alive. >> Janet and I were sorry to miss you and now we do not know what to do with all the single malt we laid in for your visit :-). <<<<< And the single malt scotch? Well me old son just keep 'er handy, "I shall return!" ;-) ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
