I remember the 76 Olympics.......I was a lad of 18 and attended them while working with Youth with a Mission. I had quite a different perspective on the games and Montreal. Interesting that I also owned a OM-1 but then again as many photo buffs, I've used everything from Hasselblad to Nikon. I love the photography on the Riv site. Seeing it has inspired me to bring along a camera more than once on a ride. Keep shooting, its always a treat and as they a say, "a picture is worth a thousand words"!
