Dream Assignment

Surfing the Shutterstock forums I found a post with the following link:

http://www.vincentlaforet.com/Gear/index.html

It is Vincent LaForet's webpage showing the equipment he is packing to cover the Olympics. Each picture has a caption under it talking about his trip and how to pack so much equipment.

It amazes me the amount coverage the Olympics get. Read his captions to each picture then think about the thousands of photographers. The logistics of the photography is only a small portion of the games. Image the planning and logistics for the games themselves.

The views of the photographers during Olympic coverage shows the inroads Nikon is making into to sports photography with the release of their D3. This market was dominated by Canon (all the big white lenses).
