The Reality of 2016 Olympic City Rio de Janeiro (12 pics + 1 video)

Posted in PICTURES       1 Mar 2010       17617
This is the reality of suburbs and slums of the city which will host Olympics in 2016.
As you can see from these pictures, the dark side of this beautiful city is shown. The police have long ago lost any control in these areas. Now it is drug dealers and criminal groups who are reigning there. Apart from adult drug addicts, you can also see children wandering the streets looking for crack or other drugs.
Very sad reality…

200 lbs of photographer’s equipment (19 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       15 Jan 2009       8065
Vincent Lafôret is a French photographer that went to cover the Olympics.
In the interview to
Newsweek
he explains all planning and preparations he should do for such event. He says that he begins all the preparations a year in advance and that it’s finished when the Games start.
But what stroke me the most is the weigh of his equipment – 200 lbs!! Can you imagine?! It’s huge.
