Not a single woman photographer. :-(<<<< Hi Tina, It may look like that, but honestly lost in the crowd are some of the most incredible women sport photographers at any of these games. Eileen Langsley, a UK shooter, retired now, was amazing. She'd put the fear of God in guys when she'd turn up with her big glass slung over shoulders, a 300mm with camera and motor on one and a 400mm with motor and extenders or longer. :-) And she'd quietly slip into a spot and shoot every bodies ass off! Then smile! :-) One of the most gentle and pleasant lady photographers I know. But damn she was good! You of course dear Tina are the gentlest and most pleasant of them all! A fine southern lady indeed! :-) Not to forget you are a very excellent photographer! :-) Guys read this as, "I'm covering my butt big time here when it comes to saying nice things about lady photographers!" And notice, I haven't even mentioned Sandy Carter's name. :-) ted
