Photographer David Burnett at the Olympics with his Speed Graphic

I was watching the Greco-Roman wrestling event last night (taped or dvr’d whatever you call it) and I saw this photographer in the background set down a 4×5 Speed Graphic. I knew it had to be David Burnett. I read somewhere that he has been working with a Speed Graphic and other cameras recently and figured it had to be him.

I took a quick spin through the web and found his blog with a post on his current trip. Burnett, a founder of Contact Press Images, has been a favorite photographer of mine since my school days. His blog is an entertaining read – subscribed.
