|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Anyone going to be blogging from Beijing? Patrick Smith, Student/Intern, Photographer Towson | MD | USA | Posted: 9:57 PM on 07.30.08 ->> Since I'll be sitting from the comfort of my home in America when not shooting this August, I was wondering if anyone will be blogging about their time in Beijing for the Olympics. I ask this because not only did I see fellow SS member Zach Honig's behind the lens in Beijing blog (http://beijing.popphoto.com/), but I'd love to hear about others experiences first-hand and see plenty of images that don't necessarily hit the sports sections from the Summer Games.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I'm going to try to do it daily if at all possible. I currently have three related posts on it as of today...Dan.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

In the past Olymics I have covered I've gone with the thought that I'd try to write something periodically throughout my coverage...but my desire to get some sleep and a decent meal always wins out. An hour or two of more rest verses writing something...rest wins out for me. Guess I'm getting old. (Check out the sked for track & field ...some of us will be starting our day awfully early.) I'll have a thing or two or three in Sports Shooter after I get home...and before the SSA Boot Camp.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

However, I had great success accessing those blocked sites through the "anonymouse" site ( http://anonymouse.org/anonwww.html ). Give it a try if you run into an internet road block.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
