These snapshots were taken with a cheap digital camera before, during and after my shifts at the Salt Lake Olympic Village.
I'm working as an athlete driver, having spent most of my time so far shuttling the Olympic teams into the Village.
Opportunities to chat with the athletes are numerous, but arranged photo ops are rare so far.
These "photos" are of poor quality, but this first week sight-seeing has been less important than getting the new "job" down.
Much more to come as opportunities permit.

With the athletes preparing for the Opening Ceremonies, Athlete Transportation was shut down to a skeleton crew. That let me watch, greet and cheer the athletes on their way to the stadium. A great time was had by all!
