Thursday morning and the sun rose over the land of perpetual construction. I came into town yesterday and had a pleasant day getting around and getting ready for the next few days at the Olympia. I did see a few other industry people at the airport and the town is talking about the "bodybuilding competition". I did get the day started off right with 50 minutes on the treadmill and I got 90 minutes of a walk in yesterday. Now for those of you looking for me today, first stop will be the press conference at the Orleans, as usual you will find me carrying two big cameras, a camera bag and wearing a dark blue BodyBuilding.com shirt.

Well just one more day to get things together and I am off to Las Vegas for the Olympia on Wednesday morning. I have to get there early because there is much for me to do. Of course I am on assignment for Bodybuilding.com and will be shooting every event and happening I possibly can. I might even squeeze in a surprise here and there. And then on Sunday I am the photographer for two of our pros who are each getting married. Bodybuilding.com World Champion, Bob Cicherillo, ties the knot on Sunday and then a few hours later, IFBB Pro Figure competitor, Jessica Paxson, steps off the Olympia stage and into matrimony. This will be an Olympia first I am sure.

I am especially pleased and proud of the current wallpapers from BodyBuilding.com for the upcoming Olympia created from my photographs of the competitors. BodyBuilding.com and it’s art department really is to be congratulated for such great work. If you have not seen them, take a look and download them free from here… http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/wallpapermainpage.htm
