David Burnett and Kenneth Jarecke are shooting and blogging from the Olympics.
Kenneth (here) and David (here).
I found this little tidbit from Kenneth to be interesting:
“… the people at Octagon (the sporting agency that represents Phelps) in my opinion really screwed up here. Not only did they try to sell the exclusive rights to pictures of Michael with all eight of his Beijing medals (rumor has it the highest offer was only $225,000, which I guess was not enough to tarnish the gold so no money changed hands), they really screwed the good people at VISA.”

I have to wholeheartedly agree with Mr Jarecke’s comments towards the end of this post as to why editors need to try to be different in their photo briefs in the modern day and age…
