With Glowing Hearts

It's been a year since I began working with the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Committee on its commemorative book project. In the end there are three books to show for all the hard work. The last one hit store shelves today. It is a hard cover 400-page tome with the entire story of the Games beginning to end. My work is featured throughout, but many of the best sports photographers in the world are in here as well. The incredible team I was a part of reinvented the genre for all three books and now every Olympic Games to follow will look at these pieces as the benchmark. So so proud to have been a small part of that team and for this historic time for Canada. There were many naysayers along the way, and the monetary costs will be substantial for years to come. However, overall, it was worth it and Canadians should walk a little taller in the world knowing we hosted one hell of a party. If you're interested all three books can be found at a really good price on amazon.ca as well as most other booksellers. The books are called Osiyam, A Path of Northern Lights, and With Glowing Hearts.

    Glad to see the third shot worked out well! I'll have to get a copy of the book down here soon and check it all out.
