Acabaram os Jogos

Isto é uma amostra do que time de fotógrafos da Newsweek teve a dizer ao final de sua cobertura da Olimpíada:

First and foremost, Simon Barnett, Newsweek’s director of photography, and the magazine’s decision to have the three of us blog daily has been the deciding factor in making these game more fulfilling for me than ones prior. Becoming part of the blogosphere has proven to be one of the most interesting and rewarding things I’ve done as a journalist.
...And while some may not yet see the significance of that—or agree with it—to me it’s crystal clear that this kind of two-way exchange with our audience that we need more of in our industry, we need more personal and behind the scenes accounts—and a goal of making unique images that adhere to our own personal visions as opposed to the size of the page or hole we need to fill in a layout is the future of journalism. ~Vincent Laforet

Personally I am quite happy with my photo take from here, although I am very disappointed with the performance, or lack thereof, of some of my Canon gear. The fact that many integral moments and photos were missed entirely because of camera malfunctions, has made me really reconsider, as many of the sportsshooters in the industry, if I should make the switch to black lenses. ~Donald Miralle

...All sport should be like the Beach Volleyball Olympic finals. Here’s the recipe for success. Loud music, the “Beach Girls” and Brazilians in the stands. I don’t care if there are Brazilians in the sport—you should just give some tickets to Brazilian fans each time there’s an event. ~Mike Powell

Muitos textos e montes de fotos magníficas nesse site. Fotos que não encontrariam espaço para publicação dentro dos jornais e revistas e relatos pessoais dos repórteres fotográficos que dão ideia precisa da rotina de correria e aventura que eles passam num evento desse porte. Medalha de ouro para a Newsweek.
