Day 01 – Guam (22 May, 2000)
The Real Day 1
And so the real day 1was Guam (at least for us – the Torch Relay of every Olympic games actually starts in Olympia in Greece and does a week around Greece – but that’s really all run by the Greeks themselves). I was nervous. My first real Torchbearer – with a real Flame. I had to get a good shot of this other wise my future on the 125 days of the relay would be in doubt. Thankfully it was a good set up for taking a photo. The sun was bright. No real challenge for the finicky digital camera. The backdrop quite nice. Some interesting visual lines to focus the eye. Even today, I think its one of the highlight images I took over the entire 115 days (but I’m sure I’m still a bit emotionally attached to it for obvious reasons)
And this is it:
