Blearyeyed in Beijing with friends from Eddies

It's day six of the Olympics and I feel like you will on Saturday night at the farm.

It's going quickly. Laura and I have been here for 10 days. Working, and playing nonstop. It's how we roll.




It's a small world. And especially small in the photojournalism community.

First person I spent time with at the press center today was Mark Kettenhoffen---Black team leader--who is here with Nikon.

Then I picked on Martin Gisbourne from Apple who you will all have a chance to learn Aperture from in October.

Then Laura and I had lunch with Andrew Gompert from EPA who is going to be helping out with our team--as he has the past four years.

Yesterday when we rolled onto the bus to head to the table tennis venue I heard a squeal and a very excited " BILLSAN!!!!!!!!" It was Chitose Suzuki, AP's staff photographer based in Hanoi. She was on my EAW team 10 years ago.

I helped her hang a remote in the catwalk. She's going to have to buy me lunch in Vietnam.

EAW is a giant family. Hear me now, and believe me later.

Back home. Briefly.

After Beijing Laura and I stopped in Seoul Korea to have a quick look around.

On Saturday I'm covering the LSU game in Baton Rouge with Crystal.

Monday Laura and I are headed to Paris, and then on to Barcelona and Perpignan.

Its great getting to see the world because of the way I see it.
