Day One Hundred and Eighteen
by Andrei on Feb.11, 2010, under project 365
If it happened today, I need to post it here. I will probably feel bad not to do it. I admit I could have planned it (better), because I actually did not plan it. I knew it was going to move around the city before it stops downtown, but didn’t really think much of it. I certainly did not think it was going to wake me up one morning. So here’s what happened: while still sleeping, this morning around 7:10 I hear loud noises outside. I get up, figure out what’s happening, I go downstairs, I put on a telephoto lens on my camera, take a peak out the window and realize the view is better from upstairs, run back up hoping I would not have missed it. Snap a few shots to tweak with the exposure and hope I would get something decent before the event goes by. I cranked up the sensor sensitivity for low light conditions and there it is. Eight frames later, you see this image. Since it happened today, I thought of journaling it here and there you have it: Day 118, the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games torch going by.
Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games Torch

I remember seeing that from like a dream, because just like you, I woke up hearing those loud noises, and I remembered that the flame should be carried on Guildford..so while trying to stay awake and watch it go by, my eyes were like closing, because I was really really sleepy ! When waking up for the second time, I was like: wait a minute, did I really see the Olympic Flame??
