Oprah’s Season Premiere: The Olympic Athletes
So! I got the rare opportunity to have a Press Pass to the taping of Oprah’s Season Premiere featuring all of the Olympic athletes. Not being a dunce…I said, “Hell yeah.” I was at Millennium Park by 6:45 a.m. to check in and stand in the press pit, awaiting the athletes. Below, you can see some of the photos I shot.
More photos after the cut.
Just a random attorney writing about daily life with Little Filthy, my rotten dog.

Wow, great pics! I think I may have mentioned once (or a thousand times) how jealous I am!
Love the pic of Michael!

Kez – I felt very lucky!
Jennie – I didn’t post any pictures where Oprah was far away and I was jonesing for a huge lens.
I have big lens envy.
I’m not afraid to admit it.

Michael Phelps totally looks like he won medals at the Special Olympics in that picture.

I go away for a while and look at you! You’re all big time! Watch out Diablo!

Avitania – I agree. No doubt he’s a phenomenal athlete…but this is one goofy looking guy.
Begijn – Hey there! How are you? Not big time…just got a cool opportunity.

Ok Seriously. I may need to change my stalking habits and instead of Corey Haim, go after Michael Phelps. Mmm hmmmmm ….
