The Photo Finish
Well, as promised, here are some more memories of Vancouver2010 as captured in photographs. (Click on any of the photos to see an enlarged image.) As I mentioned in an earlier post, lack of time and lack of a good internet connection kept me from keeping this blog as up-to-date as I would have liked. Now, at last, here is the payoff.
I start with a photo I like to call “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.” Canadians, it seems, have no concept of cold. In fact, I’m not sure a word for cold exists in the Canadian vernacular.

So Long, Farewell, Auf Weidersehen, Goodbye
I hate it that, in my time here in Whistler, I haven’t done more posting to my blog. Two things stood in my way: long hours and a really lousy internet connection.

Welcome to the "Rich" Blog
Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog! Does it ever seem to you that some people just don’t get it? Businesses spend tons of money on ad campaigns that don’t actually help their businesses. Media production houses put together splashy pieces of “art” that look or sound cool, yet fail to communicate the intended message to the intended audience. And speaking of “intended audience,” people forget who the intended audience is and waste plenty of time and money talking to the wrong people.
Here you'll find my thoughts on delivering our important messages using sound. I'll occasionally hit on other topics, too, including my trip to Beijing where I worked on the broadcast team for the 2008 Summer Olympics, and my upcoming trip to Vancouver and Whistler where I'll be working at the 2010 Winter Games. Jump in anywhere you'd like, and be sure to add your comments. Thanks again for stopping by! And if you like what you see...
