the agony of defeat

tonight i went to yaletown to see the last official 'community celebration' of the 106 day torch relay. tomorrow night the torch will enter the olympic stadium and kick off the games. so awesome. the big draw tonight was to see canada's own, the velvety-voiced michael buble, as he carried the torch.

well...michael buble really runs fast. it threw me for a loop. and my pretty normal ability to get an important picture in the clutch was thrown out the window. here is the best shot i got:

see the blue triangle under the blob/flame on the left? yeah - that's his arm. holding his torch. pretty amazing skill. i know. (and if you squint, and imagine, you can see his red glove wrapped around the torch.) here is the OTHER good shot i got of him....from roughly one million miles away:

and then after realizing my failure, i felt christy and anais giving me the dirtiest looks EVER because i had MISSED the perfect shot. (we were literally 2 feet from him as he ran by.) but at least i had my camera in hand here...and snapped a picture of them in front of the crowd.

i'll get you next time, michael buble!
