I remember being in Beijing and people were saying, take your time getting us images because it is still in the middle of the night back home. When I first photographed the Olympics, there really was no such thing as social media and the deadlines were in the hours, not the minutes. And those deadlines can be really daunting. When a bus is 10 minutes late at home, it usually is no big deal, but here at the Olympics, when you are under deadlines all the time, ten minutes seems like an eternity. For the media here, there is absolutely no consistency to our eating and sleeping patterns and time is just different. We were talking about how the world has different time zones and maybe they should add another just for the Olympics. I was joking with someone yesterday about the craziness of the Olympics, and the pressures that we are all under during the Games.
