Tripods were not allowed at any of the Olympic venues, so the Manfrotto 682B Self-Standing Pro Monopod with three retractable legs was an ideal substitute. All of the Western Digital products I used at the games were exceptionally reliable. While traveling from venue to venue I would just drag my images folder from my laptop to the Passport, and when I returned to my hotel at the end of the day I had a WD My Book Studio Edition II (2 TB) for backing up the folder again.

They are sleek, bus-powered and portable drives with dual interfaces (FireWire and USB). At the Beijing games I carried two 320GB My Passport Studio portable hard drives. During the 2004 Games I backed up all my photos on CDs and DVDs, which added hours to my workflow. Thanks to Western Digital I was able to extend my sleep time at the Games. I 've just added the Extreme Pro Card with Superior speed at 90 MB-WOW! and the Extreme CompactFlash with speed at 60 MB. I traveled with a total of 70 Gigabytes of storage. I was also able to quickly offload images through the SanDisk Extreme FireWire Reader which supports FireWire 400 and 800. Reported to be the fastest CompactFlash card on the market at 40MB per second, they made fast-action sports photography with the Nikon D3 much easier. The SanDisk Extreme Ducati Edition CompactFlash cards performed exceptionally. Aperture also provides all the tools I will need to create a custom-designed book from the Games. I'm now in the process of fully adding captions, keywords and ratings to over 46,000 images from the games with Aperture 2. I've published some of my Olympic photos to my MobileMe Web Gallery every couple of days.

It delivered a simple, integrated workflow with uncompromising quality every step of the way. I used Apple Aperture throughout the games. The built-in iSight video camera and iChat allowed me to communicate with my family back home, and it really helped me stay in touch during the four weeks in which I was away.

I traveled to the Games with a MacBook Pro 2.6 GHz 15-inch with the Multi-Touch trackpad loaded with Aperture 2 photo editing and management software.

It allowed me to capture sharp images at ISO levels I would never have thought to use in the past. Everything performed flawlessly, and the 200-400 F4 was my favorite lens. They sent me the following equipment for a test drive (see gear box). Anne told me I would be happy with the Nikon D3 and other Nikon gear, and she was absolutely right. Many thanks to Bill Pekala and Anne Cahill of Nikon Professional Services. The 22,000 square foot Kodak Image Center and its staff, which served the needs of 1,500 professional photographers and news agencies, was truly incredible. I'll have great memories of this Olympic Experience for the rest of my life. First, I would like to sincerely thank Rich Connolly of Eastman Kodak for offering me a spot on the Kodak Olympic Team.
