2010 Vancouver Olympics – Bell Blue Lounge

I spent most of February working with the illustrious and powerful Robin O’Neill for Bell Canada at the 2010 Winter Olympics. In making the most of their investment as the exclusive telecommunications partner, Bell had rented the entirety of the Westin Grand hotel to entertain their guests and investors with event tickets and various goings-on at the Bell Blue Lounge (the once and future Players Chophouse). I left my desk to do some second shooting at the Blue Lounge as the friends of Bell were treated to a little face-time with our newest and favourite gold medalists, Alexandre Bilodeau, Maelle Ricker, and Ashleigh McIvor. Also present were VANOC head honcho John Furlong, great Canadian man in motion Rick Hanson, amazing expert trumpeter and orchestral lead for the opening ceremonies whose name I wish I could remember, and later in the evening, Sarah McLachlan.
