Photographs like that remind me that photography can be a very unglamorous and ultimately worthless job. Jostling for position, hoping you get a different shot to the guy next to you with the same gear but taking the same photo in the end. How many recording eyes do we need one moment? When should some step back and let a few cover it?
Of course as any photographer who has taken a photo of [insert famous landmark here] can tell you; the lure of taking the quintessential photograph is enough to push through the “a million people have already done it” problem. Your take, your individual view of something that others see differently.
I still wouldn’t want to be amongst that lot though.
(Some more great photos of the games.)
