A couple weeks ago I convinced myself to take a couple hours (which I don’t really have) out of each day to catch a more journalistic view of the Olympic games in Vancouver. Whether it’d be filled with energy, excitement, poverty, or just a whole lot of weird, I challenged myself to see if I can capture what these next few weeks have created in Vancouver or Canada as a country.

The Northern House

Canada’s Northern House brings all the richness and diversity of Canada’s three northern territories under one roof during the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Anything you want to know about visiting, living or investing in Canada’s North can be found at Canada’s Northern House in downtown Vancouver.

Russky Dom

If you haven’t already, I recommend coming down because it’s definitely worth the wait. The Russian pavilion offered dancing, live music, merchandise, a look into the the 2014 winter games in Sochi, and a Russian; English subtitled action/horror movie.

GO CANADA GO!!!

Next to GM place at the LiveCity venue, everyone gets ready for the first medal award ceremony. A crowd gathers, more rush out from the beer garden as we all witness Canadian Olympian Alexandre Bilodeau receive his and Canada’s first Gold Medal. The stadium and streets erupt in noise as Alexandre lifts both arms to share his achievement with the rest of the country.

Draped in the Patriotic Spirit

The Olympic games bring out the patriotism in everyone. No matter where you’re from, don’t forget your roots – Represent your country and join in on the fun!
GO CANADA, GO POLSKA!

Filling the Streets with Entertainment

Street performers, like the Babyface Brass group, line the streets in Downtown Vancouver giving the crowds a reason to hang around. Whether it’s to keep you laughing, pulling loonies from behind your ear, or just playing a tune, it’s here to stay for a bit so go out and enjoy it!

Tomasz Wagner

Tomasz started his photography seven years ago. With natural ambition to challenge each goal he jumped into capturing weddings just three years after. He is a culture-inspired photographer who explores light and grand picturesque environments. What separates his work from most photographers is his contrasting visual styles and unique angles which frames a moment within a story.
