I promise to stop talking about the Olympics next week but until then, The Highfliers a photo essay by Ryan McGinley is helping me make it through three straight nights of ice dancing.

    Lucky, I haven't seen ski jumping yet! I did manage to watch the Alpine skiing and my fave – figure skating! So sad they're almost over, I could watch the Olympics year round.

    Dont stop talking about the olympics! :D It is soo much fun. I almost had a heart attach watching Petter Northug and Øystein Pettersen win the Gold medal yesterday. Oh man how fun these games are. :)

    I love watching the highfliers too – extremely impressive! I wonder how it's like to practice when you arent really that good. Must be a lot of falling on the head. :P

    Admission: I took the night off last night and watched Arrested Development dvds. I needed a breather before tonight's ladies short program!!! But these pictures are making me regret that decision :)

    Awesome photos! It is amazing how some of those ski jumpers just seem to be up in the air forever, literally flying!

    I've been trying to figure out why I love watching the ice skating, but the ice dancing bores me to death!

    These pictures are amazing!

    i love that first picture! and yes, I love love love watching all the jumping events… they are so amazing… i do not even care if their landing is a little ruff!

    and i also think that ice dancing is lame… they do not even do any fancy tricks!

    these are such amazing photos

    haha, I actually kind of liked the ice dancing. yes, most of the couples were awfully boring, but the top teams were pretty exciting to watch! and I was SO glad that Canada took home the gold! the USA pair was amazing too (and the two teams just happen to be best friends/training partners) but I simply liked the Canadians better :)

    I do like these highfliers images though, to be sure.

    These are gorgeous – must see if there is going to be a postcard set of them like there was for his Olympic Swimmers set. Did you see those?
