Heidrun Sigurdardottir
Just got back to the states and I started noticing my own "american" accent after being around only one other American and lots of folks who spoke english with varying accents. It was weird b/c I actually became conscious of my accent and it sounded weird when I heard it on a video clip.
It was a cool trip overall but a bit tiring - it's always nice to see familiar faces though such as Heidrun and many others. I'm already looking forward to next year's show and want to pick up a little bit of some other languages to help the communications flow.

Big People
This shot came about when Quincy Taylor (left) was hanging out at the pool waiting for someone else after competing at the Europa Super Show (where he qualified for the O) and he was checking out Jody May who I was shooting with.
Quincy is one of the biggest male bodybuilders around and Jody is a National level heavyweight and good friend so it was nice to grab them together.
One bender in Seattle after the Emerald Cup, Steve Saylor and I ended up dropping Quincy off at the airport after everyone else was too cracked out to do so (and we were pretty damn cracked out ourselves).

Katrina
Obviously this has been the big news and the most inspiring thing I've responded to is the depth of the human experience that it has brought out whether that is desperation, hope or any of the myriad of other emotions we all go through.
I found a nice article that encompasses a lot of those by Gene Wojciechowsk on ESPN.
