And what gives me the energy to keep up this pace and write everyday? It is all of you who have been so kind to give me positive feedback, and also knowing that I am sharing stories that most people would not get anywhere else.
I know that I am VERY lucky to be here, and to be one of the few people in the world trusted to capture these historic moments. I also feel very lucky to receive emails from people saying that I am inspiring them to do more with their photography. That is really cool!
I usually respond to every email or question that I get, but for the next couple of weeks, it is unlikely to happen. If you have asked a question and not received an answer, please forgive me. At some point, I need to get a little sleep. :)
Again, thank you to everyone for joining me here virtually in Sochi. I have read every one of your comments, and use that as fuel to continue. Feel free to keep sharing this with your friends and family. You are all amazing!
All the best from Sochi.
Youre the man Jeff!!
ReplyDeleteBeen enjoying your blogs when I see them! I think the "content aware fill" would work out well her by taking out the posts holding up the Olympic rings! LOL! Be safe!
ReplyDeletehehe Hercules Jeff.

Hi Jeff,
ReplyDeleteI found your blog from a forum post and for now I'm thoroughly enjoying reading the behind the scenes stories about photographing the Olympics (as well as the great photos). I shot a local ski jump competition for the first time this past weekend, and just as the Olympic athletes are doing the same thing to the extreme, you're doing photography to the extreme :) I'm sure I'll spend more time catching up on your blog and enjoying some of your other photography as well.
Jeff...as always I am enjoying your stories and photography. I especially liked the stories from the opening ceremony. I loved repeating them to friends who had no idea about the seats...keep your thoughts and pics coming our way!!!

ReplyDeleteMakes for great conversation with friends!!
I really enjoyed this post...it's fun to read your thoughts and the behind the scene goodies. :)
ReplyDeleteJeff:
ReplyDeleteKeep up the amazing work, and know that there are lots of people there with you.
I've been scanning the telecasts to try and spot you at the women's hockey. The CAN v USA game in 2 days should be a wild game (ps, GO CANADA!) Once the men start I know you will have little time in the mountain cluster, so the photos from snowboard, luge and (to come) ski jump are really fun to see. The fisheye on the luge track was VERY cool!
Keep up the incredible work. Like you said, it is inspiring me to be a better sports photog.
Jesse, Calgary, AB
Finally, will see Jeff with rings.....
ReplyDeleteGreat work Jeff.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeff for sharing all your experiences with us amateurs. Just loved your blogposts from London and I have been checking your site ever since, and checked back now specifically to read about your Sochi adventure. Been reading your post out loud to my family these last few days. :) Great pictures, great posts!
ReplyDeleteGreat work Jeff, Thanks you sharing such a comprehensive view. I will be heading there soon to shoot the Paralympics. I am loving the preview.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't like the winter olympics from that picture :)
ReplyDeleteJeff - quick note to thank you for sharing, these pics almost make it seem like I am there. I am picking up quite a few tricks and ideas and used your blog as one of my inspirations for a meetup group I belong to asking where we get composition and inspiration ideas. Be safe and thanks again for sharing! No need to respond, your posts are enough.
